WHAT DOES BOUGIE MEAN?
“Bougie” is short for the French word “bourgeoisie.”
The term “bourgeoisie” has historically applied to the middle class, particularly those possessing economic & cultural capital.
In modern slang, “bougie” refers to someone (or anything) who is expensive, high-maintenance, or over-indulgent in an admirable, but slightly excessive manner. Touché.
WHAT’S UNDER THE HOOD?
Photography: Apple iPad Pro 12MP Camera with a 13″ Ultra Retina XDR Display in a retro case on a tripod.
Printing: DNP DS620A state-of-the-art Dye Sublimation thermal printer it has some of the fastest print speeds available- in less than nine seconds!
Lighting: Two energy efficient 85 Watt LED light bulbs, dimmable & color controlled, under black studio reflector umbrellas.
Set Up: Photo Bougie’s hunky Handy Man built us a custom wooden set up for our camera tripod stand & prop table. We stained it black & added glam hollywood lights. It gives old money vibes.
DO YOU NEED WIFI & CELL SERVICE?
Digital:
Not a deal breaker. But having wi-fi or cell service enables your guests to engage with our on-site digital picture sharing service.
(All guests can instantly text/email to themselves instantly.)
We can offer guests the option to airdrop to their phone.
If we cannot connect via your wi-fi, nor a cellular network, we will transmit all texts as soon as we are back on the grid.
Your event gallery will also go live as soon as we have reliable service.

Photo Strip Printing: We can print ANYWHERE!
Photo Bougie has all of the magical internal systems to transmit data between our iPad station & our printer via an AirCastPro 3.
We do need to be able to connect to the internet to print.
WHAT IS REQUIRED TO RESERVE OUR EVENT DATE?
To fully reserve your date we require a $200 non-refundable retainer & a signed contract. We simply cannot hold dates without these two items.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK FOR MY EVENT?
We are now booking fabulous events into 2027.
We recommend reserving a your date as soon as possible since we have limited availability. We are very flexible after that & can always make small detail changes as we get closer to your event.
We prefer bookings at least one week out from your event so we have sufficient time to design a photo strip layout, pick backdrops, design your booth & confirm details.
DO YOU TRAVEL OUTSIDE OF DURANGO, CO?
Yes! We will travel outside of Durango, CO for events.
We are up for adventure for the right event & will travel up to 350 miles away with our open air Photo Bougie booth.
No charge for mileage for the first RT 50 miles. We charge for mileage after 50 miles. Fee: $1 / mi .
If we need to stay overnight & bring a toothbrush we will need to charge an additional fee.
We might consider traveling further for the right client. Let’s discuss, darling.
DOES THE TIME I RESERVE INCLUDE SET-UP OF THE PHOTO BOOTH?
The time you reserve is the “consecutive operating time” of the booth.
We have built in our set up time costs into the hourly rate. We will arrive to set up a minumum of 2hrs prior to the scheduled operating time.
Earlier if we have a complex load in.
If you reserve 3 hrs (for example, 7- 10 pm) we would arrive to set up at 5 pm.
If you need us to come earlier in the day to set up or want the booth to shut down for parts of your event, say during a performance, we offer idle time at $75/hr.
