Let us meet one of Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths’ operators, Emma!

What is your role at Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths?

When Lotsa Laffs gets a call to run a photo booth for a special event, I am one of the operators that sets up and runs the machine.

What is the wildest thing that ever happened in the photo booth? One of the wildest things that I have seen while operating the photo booth is when a group holds a person up off of the ground while taking a picture.

What do you enjoy most when operating the photo booth?

Seeing the people having fun and smiling behind the camera. It makes me feel good seeing the joy in people’s faces.

What is your favorite color?

My favorite color is blue.

If you had a pet, what kind would it be?

I do have a dog. She is the baby in the family that everyone loves to snuggle next to.

What’s your favorite family tradition?

The ethnic food that my mother makes for holidays.

Who would you most like to swap places with for a day?

My dog since she gets to relax and snooze a lot.

What is your favorite photo booth prop?

I love the fans. People love to open them and do some amazingly funny poses with them in hand.

What event was your favorite?

Every year I look forward to seeing the PSU graduates. The PSU Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA) have a Winter Gala each year, and Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths is one of the vendors for the event. I look forward to saying hello to the students that have been coming to the Winter Gala since Lotsa Laffs has been the photo booth for the event.

What advice do you give to users of your photo booth?

I usually tell users to smile and have fun behind the camera!

Getting To Know Nancy Of Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths

Posted on February 27, 2021March 31, 2021 by Lotsa Laffs

Today let’s meet one of Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths’ owners, Nancy.

Hello Nancy! What is your role at Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths?

I am an owner/operator of Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths in State College, PA. Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths is a woman-owned business.

When people ask “What do you do?” how do you answer?

I tell them I own and operate a photo booth company and a DJ business.

How did you come up with your name?

We wanted the photo booth name to be fun and exciting. Lotsa Laffs became our name, telling clients that we promote and excel at making an event really enjoyable with pictures.

Where is your favorite place in the world?

Being at an event with a Lotsa Laffs Photo Booth, of course!

What’s your favorite family tradition?

Having my family around the table.

Who would you most like to swap places with for a day?

I would swap places with my dog. She has it made!

What did you do before you did this?

I worked as an electrical engineer.

When and how did you get into the wedding industry?

When my husband and I started dating, I found out he had a DJ business with his friend while in high school. My husband saw I loved weddings and extensively knew the course of events. I saw his love for music and suggested getting back into the DJ business.

How did you get into the photo booth business?

I was DJing an event, and the client had a photo booth. The photo booth wasn’t a booth per se, but just a photographer’s camera on a tripod. I walked from that event away telling my husband I could do much better.

My husband and I worked together to completely design our booth, implement the right software and utilize entertaining props. Today, we have multiple open air photo booths that we have designed and continue to look at ways to make them better.

What is your favorite photo booth prop?

My favorite photo booth prop is the plunger. I always laugh when I see what people do behind the camera with that particular prop.

What advice do you give to users of your photo booth?

I always tell people to smile and have fun behind the camera!

Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths At The Geisinger Gray’s Woods Gastroenterology Department Holiday Party

Posted on February 3, 2019February 3, 2019 by Lotsa Laffs

Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths had the pleasure of recently celebrating the holiday season with Geisinger Gray’s Woods Gastroenterology (GI) Department at General Potter Farm. The guests were served various finger foods throughout the night as they talked, danced and listened to sets of songs by a live band that spanned the sixties, seventies, eighties and nineties. Emily Suvock was the fantastic organizer of this marvelous social.

Emily picked a beautiful 2×6, 4-picture border that was black with gold snowflakes for the event. The text was also in gold. Guests picked from an array of hats, hand-held props, masks, boas, glasses, and frames to dress themselves before heading behind the camera. Since there were four shots, and limited time between shots, guests grabbed a few extra props to change between sets. Many times friends were waiting along the sidelines before photobombing a few pictures. Family and friends were continuously smiling, posing and wowing the crowd with their awesome photo ideas. The prop that saw the most action that night was the plunger hat. This hat saw more action than a normal plunger sees in a year of unclogging facilities!

Geisinger’s Gray’s Woods Gastroenterology (GI) Department works with human digestive tracts and treats diseases occurring there. From the American Red Cross Responding to Emergencies manual, “The digestive system or gastrointestinal system is composed of organs that work to break down food, absorb nutrients and to eliminate waste” (American Red Cross 60). These GI doctors have training in internal medicine and advanced training in potential problems in the digestive tract. GI doctors are specialists that are typically seen after your primary care doctor makes a referral.

Thank you Emily and Geisinger’s Gray’s Woods Gastroenterology (GI) Department for allowing Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths to be part of your 2019 holiday party!
