Leigh KaedingYou might have one on your refrigerator: a photo strip of pictures taken from inside a photo booth with family, friends, or co-workers, all wearing goofy hats, oversized glasses, and feather boas. And one of you is holding a sign that reads, “I’m here for the beer!”

It’s thanks to the photo booth craze which took off in North Dakota after Leigh Kaeding started the first local operation of its kind, in the fall of 2011. Leigh says she added DY Photobooth to her digital video production business when she learned local hotels were bringing photo booths from out of state for weddings, holiday parties, and corporate events.

“That really lit a fire under me to say, ‘really Bismarck? We can do this,'” Leigh says.

Leigh’s fire caught on quickly. After only a few months of operation, her business was booked almost every weekend. Leigh has since added two photo booths and six staff members. After capturing moments with too many people to count, Leigh and her husband Kevin, who works alongside her most weekends, have marked their own milestone, celebrating DY Photobooth’s 500th event in August.

“We just feel so blessed. It’s one of those things you think you’re going to try, and think maybe it’s going to work. And the community just keeps wanting more and more and more.”
