Can you use the salsa app for any booth or just the guac and salsa booth ?
You can! The only thing you won’t be able to control are the LEDs
@@ownyourmomentcothank you! I have a led controller that comes with my DSLR booth already but I really like the features of the salsa app to provide to my customers thank you for responding!
This video was SO HELPFUL for me. Thank you!
So glad to hear!

@@ownyourmomentco awesome thanks for all of your advice! Appreciate it😃
What camera do you film with?😍
amzn.to/3M5krJp
Hey Nicole thank you for this. I need clarification. I created the Event folder, under that I create a design? or brand template???? thanks so much.
You could do a brand template if you wanted to, but it’s just there to stay organized. Not vitally necessary, just helpful
I tried to set everything up without watching any videos and I wasted so much time on there editing. I'm so glad I took the time to watch this because now I understand what I'm actually supposed to be doing! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for sharing!
Do you have to charge sales tax for your business?
Depends on your state, talk to your local tax professional
Today, I received a text booking 7-hrs for event with 50 guests. I thought it was odd. I tried to get the person to fill out a form for details. They just ignore it and wanted to pay....then they offer to pay with check which I told we don't do checks, again they ignored it and kept trying to pay with check. I just stop entertaining them.
Yup! They’re persistent
Do you have a tutorial for overlays using canva? Please and thank you 😊
Is this an add on cost for services? Or how do I include it in a package for corporate?
Definitely an add on. Find out how much it’ll cost you to produce, add your profit markup and labor costs

What's the difference between a white backdrop and getting a one-sided backdrop and just using the white backside as a backdrop? Is there something that makes the white backdrop what it is? I've looked at Pbbackdrops and noticed that their one-sided backdrops are white on the backside. That would seem to be more cost effective than ordering a separate white backdrop or specifying white as the second side of something else.
You could! In fact when I first started that’s what I did, as long as you have the blackout curtain so that if you have light coming in from behind the other design doesn’t shine through. For my business and through a lot of practice, white on both sides made more sense as there were many instances when I found my white backdrop getting dirty, and I could quickly flip it around to the clean side easily.
List please:)
I'm debating between the Guac and Chips starter package and the Essential package. The Essential package comes with the Atlas backdrop and marble cover, a year supply of app access, and a 2-year warranty. What did you purchase? Or did you go ahead with your own backdrop? Thanks!
I started out with a salsa and did go with an essentials package at that point. If this is your first booth then getting that upfront savings and complete package can be very helpful. Especially for the warranty and year of app access. Alternatively you could purchase a backdrop system from pbbackdrops separately (I have a video on that) and then the extended warranty and year of software too. So it’s really a matter of deciding if you want a complete system now or if you want to piece it altogether on your own!
thank you for your help!
Hell Nicole. I have a DSLR booth and I use the ipad instead of the camera. I cant seem to get the flash right with the camera and my pics come out all white!!! Any pointers? Question my ipad sits horizontal in my booth and I noticed most sit vertical like yours. Do you think one is better than the other as far as how the ipad sits in the booth?? Also with the hard wired printer i'm assuming you have to take a laptop and provide wifi to the laptop to print ???
Hey! Are you able to adjust your exposure settings or the flash? Adjusting those would be what I recommend. I have my flash at 1/2 and adjust according to the lighting in the venue. Orientation of the iPad shouldn’t matter at all. And nope! I’m able to connect directly to wifi from my booth via the iPad settings. It’s hardwired to the printer and communicates to the printer, and then I can send digital via the venue wifi or hotspot that I bring.
Just did a drop off this Saturday, $550, digital only, easy peasy lemon squeezey.
Haha love it!! 👏👏
looking to do this and been seriously researching Grateful to find this channel Once it gets going I want to share the game as well!
Go for it!
Great video !!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this. Are you supposed to use the honeycomb that came with it, or just the white filter?
You can if you want. Play around with it and see if you like the output
@@ownyourmomentco Thank you!
What backdrop stand do you use for your sequin backdrops? And would you recommend purchasing sequin backdrops or flower walls from PB Backdrops?
I linked the stand in the description Sequin backdrops are much cheaper, weigh much less, and are easier to store. They’re a much different style than a flower wall, so comparing them isn’t something I would necessarily do
Hi. Do you stay in your events always? What about when you started? Tia
Absolutely! I think it’s super important when you first start so you can learn how to troubleshoot all the issues that come up
This is great, thanks! :)
Glad it was helpful!
Hello, what about if we want to select a specific clientele? Example weddings, corporate, quinceanera but not kids birthday party? And how to block date and time if there is no booth available?
You can create as many booking forms as you want to but keeping your packages simple makes it easier. My wedding clients are going to pay the same for the same type of service that a birthday party would.
This is great!! I was looking for a light for my booth. The other one was showing too many shadows. Where did you purchase?
Links are in this video: Photo Booth Lighting ua-cam.com/video/rWfYOvI-3vk/v-deo.html
@@ownyourmomentco did it come with the stand? Or just the umbrella and light? The link doesn’t specify
It comes with everything you see pictured
how to delete the black box
Select and delete
@@ownyourmomentco i followed every step you did i still got this message in the end ; It looks like the uploaded overlay is too small, which can affect its quality. Confirm if you want to proceed with the uploaded overlay, or upload a new one
This is a template, not an overlay. The overlay will be larger. This is a photo template and gets uploaded in a different section.
Cost of Salsa Booth plus iPad, plus iPad data service to prevent WiFi issues. Did you already have an iPad and wiped it back to factory status? Ideally you would need to also purchase lighting and props. Then the cost of a website template, hosting, etc. There is much more to the start up than the Salsa Booth purchase. What were your true start up expenses? How many events did it take to recoup your initial investment? That would be valuable information.
I talk about this in length in my earlier videos! My iPad I added to my phone plan, I added lighting and a printer as well. Props I got as I needed to, and because I invested in quality, they were a one time investment based on the theme of the ideal client I was targeting. I also have a video on why you don’t need a ton of backdrops. 100% the business costs will vary depending on each individual. But as a broke single mom that made it, I can raise my hand and say it’s possible. And if I can do it others can too.
To answer more specifically to your questions, it took 3 months for ROI. And about 6k in startup expenses.
@@ownyourmomentcoThank you! I appreciate you and the information you put out for those of us researching. There's a ton of information and products. Creating a brand and name is the other aspect of it. So much to consider!😊
Do you need the air cast pro or can you still print without it?
You’ll need a dongle to communicate from the printer to the iPad as there is no way to directly connect it (hardwire). Whether that’s a Aircast pro or wcm2, yes you’ll need a dongle.
Thank you! The so do I need to purchase internet for it or does it come with it?
I use the internet from the venue, or you can get your own hotspot based on what service area is best.
@@ownyourmomentcothank you for explain. Is the DNP 620a Dye Sub the correct printer and can you use this printer for all types print size or do you need a new printer for different sizes? Sorry for all the questions but it’s such a big investment and I wanna know what I’m getting myself into lol
It’s the best on the market! You can use it for both 2x6 and 4x6 prints
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this information!! My question is, after designing the template, where exactly do you go to upload the image? Was trying this for the strip template (4 photos) but can’t find where to upload it in? Please help, thank you so so much for all you do!!
The template has to be from one of the options available in salsa. You can find detailed tutorial for that here: How to Create Templates with Canva for Your Photo Booth Business ua-cam.com/video/-IdUxkU0sy4/v-deo.html (Just skip past the design part of the video)
@@ownyourmomentcoyou’re amazing. Thank you so so much for your help and quick reply 😭🙏🏽
So many gems 💎 Thank you 🙏
Im in the same boat! Just had a baby 7 months ago and juggling full time employment and photo booth biz is NOT for the faint of heart 😂.
You’re superhuman! 🥳
Breaking even in 3 weeks is truly inspiring.
I did a secret shop of local photo booth businesses and was shocked at how low some prices are out there. We won't compete on price, we have a value proposition that we sell.
So excited to start my business. I appreciate these videos. They are a huge help.
Great to hear!
Which hosting service do you use for your photo booth rental service?
Salsa software
I'm literally making one to save money. Definitely need to have some experience in electronics and programming.
I just did an event yesterday and I was using ipad pro and touchpix software. Touchpix has a small box for airprint and you have to go into settings wifi and change the wifi over to touchpix so it will print. My question is how do I get a internet connection while the airprint is hooked up to internet on the iPad? Do I need to use something else to make it work? I want to be able to print and for the client to be able to send pic to their phone or email. Thank Steve
Hey! I’m not familiar with touchpix so I’d reach out to them and ask. There should be a way to do it!
Thank you for sharing this info 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Where in Florida you’re at?
Thank you so much for this content! 💗
I perform music and DJ. Gathering info on doing this too. I hate outside events. The elements especially sudden rain, wind and overheating. Outside is a challenge at times.
Did the Anker battery pack provide enough power to run the booth and printer? How many battery packs did you use?
Yup! For my wand lights I always bring a backup and I changed those out about 3/4 of the way through
When I create a honeybook form it gives me a link to point to. How did you get it the embed code for it to seamlessly display on your webpage?
