The North Star Fund helps activists organize, gain visibility and influence, and pursue solutions to the greatest problems facing New York City. We were so happy to be a part of their annual gala and help raise awareness for this worthy cause.
Sigurjon and Justin spent the weekend with Barkbox, the doggie product subscription service, turning cute dogs into glamourous superstars!
Our "puparazzi" coverage on the red carpet captured costumes, treats, and of course, the cutest pups in the world. We absolutely loved being part of the 1st Annual Kentucky Derpy, and can't wait to come back next year!
The time has come for Ethan and his buddies to pick up where they left off last year. We are absolutely thrilled to snap photos at the 2nd annual E's Biker Buddies event! A big thanks to Ethan's Aunt, Corey for inviting us again this year! E's Biker Buddies is the first ever ALL KIDS Cycle for Survival event where every penny raised goes to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for rare cancer research. Last year E's Biker Buddies raised an astounding $85,000 and this year they want to repeat the magic!

All smiles in a picture from last year's event. Ethan on the bike with his buddies on such a great day!
So exciting to see E's Biker Buddies getting the attention of local celebrities like z100's Elvis Duran and the morning show!
Last weekend we got together with the Central Park Conservancy to kick off their 35th Anniversary celebration. The chill and snow did not stop people from clicking photos, participating in a silent disco and watching a Valentines Day theme ice sculpture being carved before their eyes. Some photos from the day:
Ethan is a kid with a mission. Too young to throw his own event an official participating Cycle For Survival gym, he threw a KIDS ONLY!!! version. Thanks to his awesome Auntie Corey for inviting us to do our thing. It was a good day.
On Tuesday night, hundreds gathered in Tribeca for the annual My Hero Gala presented by Aid for Aids. The goal was to raise money for aids awareness, research and prevention - and to have fun of course! We loved the energy the crowd brought to The Booth all night. Check out a few of our favorites:
Last week, The Booth joined the Anti-Violence Project for the 17th annual Courage Awards! The New York City based organization works to provide free and confidential assistance to thousands of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) and HIV-affected people that experience violence. Check out a few of our favorite shots from the event:
The March for Innovation, a campaign to raise awareness about the need for immigration reform, began this past Wednesday at App Nexus here in NYC. The event included a guest panel with Fred Wilson, Co-founder of Union Square Ventures; Brian O'Kelley, CEO and CO-founder of AppNexus; Jalak Jobanputra, Managing Partner of FuturePerfect Vetures; Alexis Ohanian, Co-founder of reddit (pictured below); Nithya Das, Acting General Counsel of AppNexus.
Over 100 guests dressed up in an array of prom attire to attend The Prom You Always Wanted and enjoy dancing, drinks, and food to raise funding to benefit The Center for Anti-Violence. We love that good samaritans always photograph well!
The 11th annual Taste of Greenwich House last month raised over $225,000 to support ten social service and arts programs, including treatment for victims of child abuse, medical care for home-bound seniors, afterschool programs for urban youth, senior wellness programs, and adults struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. We love good causes, and this was an especially great one!
We adore Seeds of Peace and were excited to participate in the 8th annual Peace Market (our 3rd). With thousands of guests in attendance, including musical virtuosos Questlove and Dave 1 (from Chromeo!), it was an inspired evening of giving to promote peace in areas of conflict around the globe. Here are a few of our favorite out takes from the energetic guests at the Peace Market:
What an amazing group of parents and community members who came out last Friday to support arts education for West Village elementary school PS3 at The Auction for the Arts! We had a wonderful time and were impressed both by all of the generosity and by the endless number of photo booth enthusiasts. Your children taught you well!
In case you have been wondering what the photo booth experience looks like, here are a few shots generously provided by Kenny Pang of Kenny Pang Photography. There are two staples of our service that are both shown here. First, there is a ton of space in The Booth, so guests can gather large groups of friends to take pictures with, and, second, we provide prints on-site at the time of the event.
The Booth was fortunate enough to have a preview of Holiday House this year and the opportunity to photograph VIP guests who were invited for a sneak peak a couple of weeks ago-- guests and decor alike were amazing! The good news: it is now open to the public (through November 18). Don't miss chance to view the gorgeous interiors in this historic Manhattan mansion all while helping to raise funds for the The Breast Cancer Research Foundation®.
Hosted by the ADL Next Generation Philanthropy Community, the 6th Annual IMAGINE Gala last night at 404 NYC was a wonderful event. Attendees showed their support for the ADL and a lot of love and laughs in the photo booth!
The Booth was delighted to participate in Wish Upon a Wedding's benefit last week at Eventi Hotel. For those of you just hearing about this non profit, they provide weddings for couples dealing with terminal or life-altering illness. Check out their org in this recent NY Times article: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/12/fashion/weddings/wish-upon-a-wedding-helps-couples-in-need.html!
