For us here in Auckland it’s been a year of celebrations as we moved house, quadrupled our office space, saw more booths enter our “fleet”(and more booth operators!) and welcomed our second son and future operator into the family – whoa – what a year!

December will be our busiest month to date with our operators working hard to provide the fun factor at many a corporate Christmas party, birthday and summer wedding.

We are excited about having our booth at Parakai Hot Pools for a Christmas Party (yes, our booths can operate outdoors!) and at The Cloud – the last time we were there we were celebrating Rugby World Cup victory!!

Last month saw some interesting characters pass through our booth.  Mr John Key was snapped for the second time in our booth and Bubba and his friends went barking mad at his birthday party.  Yes, Bubba is a dog and yes, the booth was at his birthday party!  Just goes to show we can cater for all types of people and all types of functions at all types of venues!

Merry Christmas to all our friends and fan’s – may 2013 be as amazing as 2012!

Here in Auckland we are lucky to have a wonderful team of booth attendants, and thought we might take some time to introduce them to you!

Sara and Jacqui are our stay-at-home mums that enjoy having an excuse to get out of the house and socialise!  Jacqui used to manage a travel agency, before becoming a mum/booth attendant and Sara is one of the luckiest people we know – she wins every competition she enters!  We are just dreading the day she wins Lotto and doesn’t need to work anymore!!

Natalie is our most experienced booth attendant, attending more than 150 events so far!  Natalie is currently studying Nursing so she can double as the medic at your event, as well as your booth attendant!

We love students and have a few on our team – Hendrik studies Logistics, Joshua studies Architecture, Anna studies Illustration and Chloe studies Travel and Tourism – so between them they can work out the best way to get your booth from A to B, how to best utilise the booth in your space, and draw a pretty picture of it afterwards!

We are always looking for new operators to join our ever-expanding team so if you have reliable transportation and have a great personality, send your CV to auckland@photoboothfun.co.nz

Here are some photos of Team Auckland trying out some of our new props!

Another fabulous few weeks in Auckland raising money for some fabulous causes and of course partying hard with a great bunch of birthday guys and gals!

We had an awesome time hanging out with the cool folk at Media Design School at the Coca Cola Careers Expo last month – you must check out www.facebook.com/mediadesignschool to see the photos taken.  Media Design School had a tonne of hits on their website as a result and we can’t wait to work with them in the near future so watch this space!

Fundraising for some great causes always makes us feel good and this month we put a smile on the face of Macleans College students who were raising money for the Westpac Helicopter.  If other schools are interested in an easy and FUN way to raise funds please email Suze at info@photoboothfun.co.nz!

There have been lots of mid-year staff parties too, so thanks to Tower, Chrisco, The International Travel College of NZ and Sinclair Knight Merz for having us along – you guys are fabulous!  We also attended a celebration dinner for the team at the Langham Hotel who have a great venue for weddings, school balls, corporate functions – you name it!  Check out www.auckland.langhamhotels.co.nz for more information on this stunning hotel!

Events we are looking forward to this week are the Bartercard Expo (as we have just joined the Bartercard network which we are very excited about!) and the Radio Lollipop Masquerade Volunteer Appreciation Evening which we have donated a booth for to say thanks to all the volunteers for all their hard work!

Until next time Auckland, keep warm!!

Eden, Suze, Quinn and bump!
