Tiny house setup requirements

TINY HOUSE SETUP REQUIREMENTS

The tiny house booth is not just adorable, but it’s also climate controlled and equipped with pro-grade equipment. The vintage traffic signal kiosk houses a quality DSLR camera, 13” touch screen, modeling light, beauty flash, and dye sublimation printer. This booth is sure to be the highlight of any event! Click the toggles below to view the tiny house setup requirements and answers to some frequently asked questions (FAQs).

Our lovable new photo booth on wheels is inspired by the farmhouse feel (shiplap walls, a tin ceiling, and wood floors) and enhanced by pro-grade camera and flash, vintage traffic signal kiosk, and charming props and décor. Guests can snap and print unique keepsakes in seconds. This unforgettable experience will be the highlight of any event. It’s even climate controlled!

WIFI/Cellular: Certain tiny house features require strong 4G cellular service and/or an internet connection of at least 1 MB to work properly, including the online gallery, extra social sharing station, and instant sharing to text, email, and QR-code. If the venue does not have adequate service, we’ll still be able to print via our hotspot. However, texts, emails, and photo uploads will be queued until we have adequate WIFI access.

Other Requirements: The tiny house requires a space of at least 9’w x 16’l x 9’h, plus extra space for optional props. We have an electric dolly to get the booth in tight spaces; however, we still need to be able to pull relatively close to the chosen location (no hills!). The tiny house is fairly low to the ground, so the route to the location shouldn’t have speed bumps, steep curbs, large potholes, etc. The tiny house must be placed on solid and level ground, within 15 feet of a properly installed and grounded power outlet (110V, 20 amps, 3 prong). The booth should not block access to exits, bathrooms, food/drinks, etc. If the venue does not have power, we will provide a power generator for a $25 fee.

  • Outside Dimensions: 8’ wide x 15’ long (including the deck area on the back) x 8.5’ tall.
  • Inside Dimensions: 6’ wide x 9’ long.
  • Bench Seat: Approximately 6′ wide; can accommodate as many guests as you can creatively fit.

Our mission is to provide epic photo experiences, while also giving back to the community. Since 2021, we’ve donated 36+ free booths, 13 photo shoots, and 100’s of hours of our time. With our pro-grade equipment and 20+ years of combined photography experience, you won’t have to skimp on quality for the sake of fun. We are also the only company in town offering a virtual booth, free 4×6 postcard prints, and a tiny house photo booth.

We have a 3-hour minimum for photo booth events. However, we are willing to waive this minimum for charitable causes.

We primarily service the Billings area, including Huntley, Worden, Shepherd, Laurel, Lockwood, and Park City. There is no charge for travel within 25 miles of Billings. However, we charge $2/mile for travel outside this radius (i.e., 50-miles roundtrip). We currently don’t service areas outside Montana.

Absolutely! If needed, we can provide your venue with proof of insurance.

Yes. We accept credit cards via Stripe or PayPal. We also accept cash and checks.

Yes, we require a 20% non-refundable retainer to reserve the photo booth. The retainer will hold your date and cover administrative costs and work performed prior to the event, such as setting up the event in the software, preparing equipment and props, and customizing event templates.

The remaining balance is due no later than 30 days prior to the event. For bookings within 30 days of the event date, full payment will be due at the time of booking. For non-profits and schools paying by check, special arrangements can be made with respect to the deposit and payment.

The bench seat in the tiny house is 6′ wide. It fits 2-4 adults comfortably. However, it can accommodate as many guests as you can creatively fit. Our current record (after two events) is 5 people plus a huge blow-up dinosaur.

If possible, we like to start setting up about 90 minutes before the event. In a pinch, we can set things up in an hour. We do not charge for setup and tear down time.

Yes! Our friendly attendants are highly trained in the arts of photography and fun. They will arrive 90 minutes before the event, setup/break down the tiny house, and assist guests with taking, printing, and sharing photos. Attendants will also ensure guests have a fun, memorable experience at your event.

Absolutely, we’ll work with you to create the perfect photo template for your event.

We have hundreds of beautiful, pre-designed photo templates to choose from in our library, all of which can be personalized or branded to meet your needs. We can customize text, colors, fonts, and graphics free of charge. You can also browse 600+ of premium templates for $32 each.

For sponsored events, we can also brand many other areas, including the door of the tiny house, photo templates, welcome screen, email/text templates, online gallery, and contest screens. You can also display a banner and/or business cards in the booth area. Contact us to learn more.

Yes! The tiny house booth can do gifs, animated overlays, and filters. However, given the way the tiny house is set-up, we can’t do green screen, digital props, or boomerangs.

Every guest in the photo will get a keepsake to take home. We have the absolute best dye sublimation printer on the market, which means the prints are super fast, smudge-free, and ready to handle immediately after printing. The tiny house booth prints two 2×6 strips or one 4×6 print in under 10 seconds. By the time you’re done laughing at yourself on the booth display, your prints will be ready.

Yes, we can! We can print in B&W, color, or both. Try giving your photos a glam look with our k-dash filter. This filter smooths the skin and applies black and white to create the studio effect popularized by the Kardashians. Great for many themes, including old Hollywood glam. In addition to k-dash, we can also add other filters and effects, such as beautify, sepia, vintage, black and white, or 80’s. Filters can either be applied to all photos automatically (for a custom themed event), or they can be added as an option for guests to choose from.

After each session, guests have the option to print their photo and/or share a digital copy to email, text, or QR-code. The photos will also upload to the premium online gallery in real-time. From the gallery, guests can download and share photos to social media during and after the event. We also support Facebook sharing, offline Twitter sharing, and the ability to send Instagram-ready mp4’s via email. Note: If the venue doesn’t have strong 4G cell service or WIFI, the booth will queue emails, texts, and photo uploads and send them once we have adequate service. Also, if privacy is a concern, the online gallery can be password protected or turned off.

Absolutely! After the event, we will send you a link to the free admin dashboard. From the dashboard, you can download a master copy of all event photos to zip files, including the individual/raw photos from each photo strip. You can also view and manage the online gallery and/or keep an eye on event analytics (e.g., photo shares, prints, downloads). If desired, we can save the photos to Dropbox in real-time for an additional fee.

We’ll bring a variety of quality, hand-selected props for your event. We have a plethora of props to choose from, including themed props, digital props, funny signs, lips and mustaches on a stick, featherless boas, cool and silly glasses, inflatables, awesome hats, and much more! If we don’t have what you are looking for, we’d be happy to order custom props for an extra fee. We require 30-day notice to ensure the props arrive in time. You can also bring your own props. Please let us know in advance, so we can reserve room on our table.

We have 9+ curtain backdrops to choose from, including sequin, microfiber cloth, and leaf petal taffeta. If you can’t find a backdrop you love, we’d be happy to place a custom order for an additional fee [requires 30-day notice].

No, it doesn’t. We provide a admin dashboard where you can download digital copies of all event photos to zip files free of charge. If desired, we can also print an extra copy of each session to include in your memory book for a small fee (scrapbook and supplies not included).
