STARTING A CAMPER PHOTO BOOTH BUSINESS PT 1 : INTRODUCTION
SO YOU WANT TO START A CAMPER PHOTO BOOTH BUSINESS, THAT’S GREAT!
We (Conan & Katherine) started our camper photo booth business back in 2013 so we’ve been at it a while and are pleased to say that our photo booth business has been our full time job for several years now so it’s a great way to work for yourself, have fun, and learn new things!
Since we’ve been doing this for 8 years now we get asked a lot of questions and we thought it would be best to put the answers here to refer to as well as give a more in depth explanation of some things than we can in an instagram message.
This course will be broken down into 4 separate posts so you can easily refer to the section you are interested in:

ABOUT US
KATHERINE
CONAN
We started Lamphouse Photo Co. in 2013 with an idea about making photo taking an experience where every detail was thoughtfully considered from the props to the quality of the photos.
Since then we’ve been a part of over 1000 birthdays, weddings, corporate events, and more!
I (Katherine) studied Integrated Marketing Communications at Wichita State University
Conan studied fine arts with an emphasis in painting and anthropology at Wichita State University as well
Conan went on to work for over 20 years in the retail camera sales and photography industry, eventually instructing at Mark Arts in Wichita, Kansas.
ABOUT OUR CAMPER
The “Little” Lampy Camper is a 1956 Aljo
The camper is 14’ long from tongue to bumper, 7’ wide and 9’ tall
It operates on a single 110v outlet
We purchased the camper (our second photo booth camper reno) in 2016 for $600
We completely re built the interior
You can read all about the process of purchasing and renovating the camper here.
