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 Jenna’s Graduation Party

Posted on June 18, 2019June 18, 2019 by Lotsa Laffs

School is definitely out for summer in the Centre County region! Seniors have tossed their caps in cheer, settled their tassels in a place of honor and are looking to celebrate their graduation with fun and excitement! Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths recently had the pleasure of celebrating with Jenna, a Class of 2019 graduate, under the gorgeous Centre Country sunset!

Jenna’s favorite color is blue, and so Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths designed a special border to feature her color choice. The border featured this color along with fireworks, diploma and a cap in her school color. The fireworks on the border symbolize the happiness a graduate feels when accepting their diploma.

Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths used their closed photo booth during Jenna’s graduation party. Family and friends entered the booth and began posing for pictures. Jenna was constantly smiling and bedazzling friends with her cheer in each photo shot. Graduation props were raised, exclaiming “I made it!” After taking pictures, friends and family gathered around to sign and decorate Jenna’s photo booth memory book for the event. Jenna’s pooch had a chance to ham it up behind the camera alongside her fellow graduates and family members. As the stars began peeking through, friends and family continued to grab boas, hats, masks and hand held props. At the end of the night, Jenna thanked Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths for making her celebration spectacular!

Utilizing Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths is a great way to remember a graduation! We can easily set up a booth outside or inside for people to take serious or amusing pics! Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths has a great deal of entertaining and engaging props for all ages.

Thank you Jenna for allowing Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths to be a part of your Class of 2019 celebration. Good luck as you continue your search for knowledge at Penn State!

Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths At The DQ Gray’s Woods Elementary School Hello Summer Event

Posted on July 13, 2018October 2, 2018 by Lotsa Laffs

June 13th was the last day of school for the State College Area school district. As kids were leaving their school buildings, a phrase was being chanted by the kids and teens from an Alice Cooper song, “School’s out for Summer!” At Gray’s Woods Elementary, kids were saying goodbye to their teachers and heading to State College’s Dairy Queen for a few hours of fun, photos and ice cream. Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths had their BIG camera ready for kids to say, “Hello Summer!”

State College’s Dairy Queen had Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths, Home Depot, games and coloring fun on hand for the Gray’s Woods Elementary kids to celebrate the beginning of summer vacation. Home Depot had kits for kids to build such as model airplanes, and Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths was indoors taking pictures of friends, families and teachers posing with various hats, boas, hand held props and glasses. Each group posing for a picture had the chance to pick one of four ‘Hello Summer’ border designs to offset their photo fun. The groups posed for four pictures and received a photo strip with their chosen photo border.

Froggy 101 was also doing a live broadcast featuring the fun that was available for kids celebrating the beginning of summer vacation. Froggy’s mascot, Froggy, was not camera shy. The mascot was quick to get behind the camera, try on a hat, pick a border and pose for a picture. Kids had an opportunity to also pose with Froggy behind the camera.

Dairy Queen was the big sponsor for the Gray’s Woods Elementary School ‘Hello Summer’ event. During the event, and later in the evening, Dairy Queen generously donated a portion of their proceeds to help the various programs sponsored at the Gray’s Woods Elementary School. It was a great day with the added dose of helping a local school!

Thank you Dairy Queen for inviting Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths to be a part of the the DQ Gray’s Woods Elementary Hello Summer event. Have an awesome summer!

Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths At The Berkebile-Schmalz Wedding

Posted on June 7, 2018October 2, 2018 by Lotsa Laffs

Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths had a marvelous evening celebrating the marriage of Jen Berkebile and Erik Schmalz at General Potter Farm on Saturday, June 2^nd. Jen and Erik were definitely meant to be as they buzzed among guests, mugged behind the camera and danced the night away with And We Danced DJ Entertainment‘s awesome musical mixes. Smiles were always on their faces. The couple were also wonderful while behind the camera. They both have a great sense of humor and are loved by family members and their guests.

The couple were joined in marriage by their friend Joe Jividen at the Rhoneymeade Sculpture Garden & Arboretum. The bridesmaids sported bright poppy red dresses, while the groomsmen donned blue suits with poppy red ties. The bride was gorgeous in a beautiful taupe colored dress, while the groom wore a handsome blue suit. The bridal party were special friends from school and family members. No one was shy that night as they stood in line waiting for their turn at the photo booth. The bride was definitely number one that night as she sported the hand held number one prop behind the camera with her chums. The groom wasn’t far behind as he grinned along with his cronies and did some spectacular poses for the camera.

The photo booth had a never ending line as the night progressed. Young and old were not bashful when picking out hats, props and glasses. No one was chicken flashing behind the camera. Lotsa Laffs really means lots of laughs, and the guests were sure living up to our name. No one wanted to see the night end, but everyone had spectacular picture mementos to take home and reminisce about Jen and Erik’s walk down the aisle.

Thank you Jen and Erik for allowing Lotsa Laffs Photo Booths capture some spectacular, funny and striking pictures that will leave everyone fondly smiling and reminiscing about your wonderful day!
