Portrait Booth at Delta Zeta's Parents Weekend in Baton Rouge

On Saturday, September 26, 2026, we brought our Portrait Booth to Delta Zeta’s Parents Weekend 2026 family tailgate at the chapter house on W Lakeshore Dr in Baton Rouge, taking color photos of members and their families from 11 AM to 2:30 PM.

Parents Weekend at the Delta Zeta house

Delta Zeta’s chapter at LSU hosted a family tailgate for Parents Weekend 2026 at its chapter house, 4060 W Lakeshore Dr in Baton Rouge. The tailgate ran from 11 AM to 2:30 PM, and members spent it with their parents and families.

We set up outdoors, under cover on the front porch of the house. A porch is a great spot for a booth at an event like this. It is right where families arrive and gather, and the cover keeps the booth out of the direct sun.

The booth setup and design

The chapter booked our Portrait Booth on the Ultimate package, with a white backdrop. White is a smart choice outdoors. It stays clean and bright in daylight and lets everyone’s outfits stand out. You can browse other looks on our backdrop rentals page.

A pink toile layout

We designed a four-panel grid: three color photos and a title panel, all on white with a pink toile border. The title panel has “Delta Zeta” in pink capitals and “Parents Weekend 2026” in green script. It is soft and classic, and it looks like something you would frame, not just a party print.

How families used the booth

Members brought their parents and families through the booth, and many groups came dressed for the day in purple, gold, yellow and lavender. Some families stepped in with a simple smile, and others brought sunglasses and a little attitude.

Because each layout holds three photos, families could try a few different poses in one session.

Color vs. black and white

We also shared our Glam Booth at Pi Beta Phi’s Founders’ Day on this blog, where black and white portraits gave a formal milestone a classic look. Parents Weekend called for something different. Families showed up in purple, gold and yellow, and color photos let all of that come through. Both are great choices. It comes down to the mood of the event and how you want the photos to feel later.

Planning tips for parents weekends and family tailgates

• Pick a covered spot. A porch, patio or tent keeps the booth comfortable and out of the direct sun. Let us know where you want the booth so we can plan the setup.
• Choose a backdrop that works in daylight. Light, simple backdrops like white look clean outdoors and keep the focus on the families.
• Design a layout families will keep. Your chapter name, the event name and the year turn each photo into a keepsake parents will hold on to.
• Think about sharing. Families often want to send photos to relatives who could not make it. Our Digital Social Booth page shows how digital sharing works.
• Plan for family groups. Members and their families often come through together, so tell us roughly how big a typical group will be.

We also bring booths to events in nearby towns like Zachary and Gonzales.
