Today we’d like to introduce you to Lety Deleon
Hi Lety, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Hi I’m Lety from Houston,Texas and my fiancé Carlos is from Chicago IL . I moved to Chicago with my fiancé summer of 2019 with plans to explore a new city for a year, I have always thrived on change, and something like moving to a new city gave me so much excitement. In February 2020 we welcomed our daughter Ariana and 1 month later we were in lockdown due to covid which led us to make the decision to stay in Chicago a few more years. During this period I persuaded and completed my Bachelors in Business Administration from the University of Houston. I wanted to build a business I loved while being able to be available full time for my daughter. That’s when my fiancé Carlos came up with the idea of starting a photo booth business, this was his idea and I loved it. We spent the next several weeks doing research and coming up with our business plan together. That’s when we created Social Photo Booth, a fun modern photo booth. We thankfully quickly with the help of social media started to get bookings, and within the next 6 months we purchased additional equipment, hired employees, and expanded. As good as our business was in Chicago I wanted to come back home to Houston, I missed it so much. My family, friends, sunny days, amazing food, and even H-E-B. Houston is a whole vibe you can’t get anywhere else. We are now back in Houston Tx and so excited to be able to do events here in Houston and have Social Photo Booth capture all the memorable moments we get to witness in the events that we do.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It was definitely a learning experience It took some trial and error to learn the steps for the set up to be up to the standards we want our brand to reflect. We learned softwares, how to set up equipment, built a website, created contracts. and hired attendants. We want the guest not only to take a picture and receive a print out but we want them to have the Social Photo Booth Experience. I was a bit nervous but optimistic in moving our business over to Houston and starting over with new clientele, however it’s all been going amazing in the last few months we have been here.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
We have a photo booth business named Social Photo Booth , we service special events like weddings, quinceañeras, sweet 16s, anniversaries, birthday parties, corporate events and much more. We provide the photo booth, attendant, backdrop, customized template, props, and every package of ours has unlimited prints. We are known for our attendants, they are always ready to make sure everyone is having a great time when they come take a picture with our photo booth. We are most proud of how fast we were able to make a name for ourselves, being constantly booked despite of living in a city where I hardly knew anyone. Companies like Yelp Chicago, Adp, Rabine, just to name a few have been some of our largest events we are so grateful for. Something that makes us different from other Photo Booth companies is that we strive on being modern, we are sleek and stylish. Our attendants are also very sociable they provide an exceptional experience.
Do you believe in bad luck or good luck?
I don’t believe in bad luck, I believe that you attract the energy you give and receive. The mind is so powerful as well as the words you speak. Positive energy, mindset, and thoughts play a crucial role in life and business. As long as you have a positive outlook in your business everything else falls into place, and you end up right where you are meant to be.
