There’s nothing better than capturing a moment in a photograph. Whether it’s with friends, family, or even just by yourself, photo booths are a cute and fun way to spend a few minutes frozen in time. If there’s one thing that’ll boost my mood at a party, it’s a photo booth.

I’m always the first to point out a photo booth when I’m at an arcade or when I pass by one in the middle of a mall. All my friends know that once that photo is printed out, it immediately goes on my wall — another memory I’ll constantly be reminded of.

Sitting in a photo booth gives you the classic feel of letting a camera take pictures for you — a change of pace from the selfies we’re so used to taking on our smartphones every day. When you’re in a photo booth, you get to be creative in the simplest way.

It’s wholesome how some people choose to plan their poses, but on the flip side, capturing a candid laugh is just as special. I can guarantee you that almost everyone who comes out of a photo booth comes out with a smile on their face.
