Roaming Photographer at Cajun Industries' Jingle & Mingle in Baton Rouge

By Carlos Lerma

On Friday, December 5, 2025, we brought our Roaming Photographer to Cajun Industries’ Jingle & Mingle 2025 holiday party in downtown Baton Rouge, capturing posed and candid photos of guests from 7 to 11 PM, with prints and social sharing on the booking.

Jingle & Mingle with Cajun Industries

Cajun Industries is a Louisiana construction company, and Jingle & Mingle is its holiday party. We also worked Cajun Industries’ Annual Crawfish Boil in 2024, so it was good to work with the company again, this time for the holidays.

The party was held at 355 North Blvd in downtown Baton Rouge, and it ran for four hours, from 7 to 11 PM.

Why a roaming photographer instead of a booth

For this party, Cajun Industries booked our Roaming Photographer rather than a fixed booth. Instead of guests coming to us, our photographer moved through the party and photographed people where they already were: at cocktail tables, beside the Christmas trees, under the garland and in conversation with coworkers.

That approach mixes two kinds of photos. Some are posed, where a group stops and smiles for the camera. Others are candid, where people are laughing, talking and enjoying the night. Together they tell a fuller story of the party than a single backdrop can.

A branded frame on every photo

Even without a booth, every photo had a custom look. We designed a frame with a pink-and-red candy-stripe border, “Cajun Industries” across the top, and a “Jingle and Mingle 2025” cocktail-glass mark in the corner. It is festive, it matches the name of the party, and it makes every image clearly part of this event.

Prints and social sharing were both on the booking, so guests had a way to take their photos with them and share them with the rest of the team.

Capturing the decor and the people

The photos show guests with name tags gathered beside decorated Christmas trees, under greenery-and-ribbon garland around the doorways, near chandeliers, at white-linen cocktail tables and in wood-paneled rooms. A roaming photographer can use all of those spots as backgrounds, so the holiday decor shows up in the photos too.

When roaming photography beats a fixed booth

A booth is a great centerpiece, and our Portrait Booth and 360 Booth are favorites at holiday parties. Still, there are times when a roaming photographer is the better fit:

  • Mingling crowds. At a cocktail-style party, people move around and talk. A roaming photographer meets them there instead of asking them to stop and wait in line.
  • Multi-room venues. When a party spreads across several rooms, a single booth can end up tucked in one corner. A photographer can cover every room.
  • Showing off the decor. If the trees, garland and lighting are a big part of the event, roaming photos put them in the background of every shot.
  • Capturing the real moments. Candid photos of coworkers laughing together are often the ones people like most.

Holiday party ideas for your team

If you are planning a company holiday party in Baton Rouge or nearby towns like Port Allen or Denham Springs, here are a few ideas we like:

  • Give your party a name, like Jingle & Mingle, and build the photo frame around it.
  • Put your company name on the frame so every shared photo carries your brand.
  • Pick colors that match your invitations and decor so the photos look like part of the night.
  • Pair roaming photography with name tags or a theme so guests feel part of something.
