Add some lighting. Good lighting is essential for taking great photos. You may want to consider using a backdrop light or a ring light to brighten up your photos.
Decorate your photo booth. Once you have all of your basic setup complete, you can start decorating your photo booth. Add some balloons, streamers, or other decorations to make it look festive.
Test your photo booth. Before you open your photo booth to guests, be sure to test it out and make sure everything is working properly. Take a few test photos and make sure the lighting is good and the props are easy to use.
Explain how to use your photo booth to guests. When guests first arrive at your event, be sure to explain how to use your photo booth. Show them how to get in front of the camera, how to use the props, and how to print their photos.
