What’s a Portrait Station?
A Portrait Station is a stand-alone photography experience designed for events where quality matters.
Instead of pressing a button and hoping for the best, guests are photographed by a professional who:
- Adjusts lighting and posing in real time
- Ensures flattering composition
- Creates images suitable for prints, programs, yearbooks, and keepsakes
The result is a clean, intentional portrait — not a novelty snapshot.
Portrait Stations are ideal when you want something more refined than a photo booth, but more efficient than full roaming event photography.
How It Works
- We set up a studio-style portrait area
Professional lighting, backdrop, and camera — sized to fit your venue. - Guests step up one at a time (or in groups)
Our photographer directs posing quickly and efficiently. - Photos are captured and processed on site
Images are color-corrected and prepared for delivery. - Optional onsite prints or digital delivery
Depending on your event goals, guests can receive prints, digital access, or both.
How Is This Different From a Photo Booth?
Portrait Station
- Photographer-led
- Studio lighting
- Clean, editorial look
- Ideal for formal events and keepsakes
Photo Booth
- Guest-operated
- Faster, playful interaction
- Designed for fun and spontaneity
- Ideal for casual or high-energy events
If you want portraits people actually frame, choose a Portrait Station.

Perfect For Events Like:
- School dances & proms

Customization Options
Portrait Stations are great for proms, dances, galas, reunions, holidays, and more
Flexible Booking Options
Every event is different, and Portrait Stations can be structured in one of two ways depending on your goals, audience, and budget.
Option 1 — Hosted Portrait Station
Best for:
Galas, fundraisers, corporate events, community celebrations, private parties
Description
The Portrait Station is booked as part of your event services. Guests enjoy the experience without individual purchase decisions, and images can be delivered digitally, printed onsite, or both.
Why it works
- Seamless guest experience
- Predictable costs for the organizer
- Ideal when portraits are part of the event value
Option 2 — Guest-Funded Portrait Station
Best for:
Military Balls, proms, formal school dances, reunions
Description
The Portrait Station is provided at little or no upfront cost to the organizer. Guests choose whether to purchase prints or digital portraits individually.
Why it works
- Minimal financial commitment for the host
- High participation at formal, photo-driven events
- Guests receive professional portraits they actually want
Not every event is a fit for the guest-funded model. We’ll help you determine the best approach based on attendance, schedule, and guest expectations.
