On Saturday, April 25, 2026, we brought our Portrait Booth with Glam to Pi Beta Phi’s 159th Founders’ Day celebration for the Louisiana Beta chapter in Baton Rouge, making black and white portrait strips for chapter members from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM.
Pi Beta Phi was founded in 1867, so 2026 marked its 159th Founders’ Day. Louisiana Beta is the Pi Beta Phi chapter at LSU, and the chapter celebrated the milestone with a late-morning event that ran from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM.
The celebration was held in a conference center at 3848 W Lakeshore Dr, near the LSU lakes in Baton Rouge.
For this event, the chapter booked our Portrait Booth on the Plus package with the Glam upgrade. Glam is our black-and-white portrait style with a skin-smoothing finish. It flatters without looking overdone, and it gives each photo the feel of a classic studio portrait.
Behind the booth we set up a silver sequin backdrop. In black and white, sequins catch the light and turn into a soft, sparkling texture behind every group, which suits the glam look well. You can see more options on our backdrop rentals page.
Guests also posed with large silver number balloons, which read beautifully against the sequins and gave groups something fun to hold.
We designed a three-photo strip on a cream background. Wine-red roses run across the top, and “Louisiana Beta” sits in script between a pair of angel wings and an arrow. At the bottom are the Pi Beta Phi letters and crest with “159th Founders’ Day.”
The black-and-white photos sit in the middle, while the color stays in the layout. That keeps the portraits classic and still makes every strip clearly part of this chapter’s celebration.
Chapter members came through in big groups, many of them in white and floral sundresses. Friends squeezed into the frame together, grabbed the balloons and changed poses across the three shots, from classic smiles to hugs and playful faces.
White and light florals look especially crisp in black and white, and the strips show how well the Glam style handles a room full of matching outfits.
Founders’ Day, chapter anniversaries, initiation and senior send-offs all deserve photos members will hold on to. A few things we have learned:
We work with chapters and organizations across Baton Rouge and in nearby towns such as Prairieville and Denham Springs.
Final pricing depends on the date, location, hours and add-ons. For a general idea of what goes into it, see our photo booth rental cost page.
