Founder's Story on Hammie The Photo Booth
Jeanette Schenk, owner / photographer of Shortcake Photo LLC, was determined to discover a unique perspective in portrait photography. During a girls' weekend, she came across a retro camper, which inspired the creation of "Hammie," her vintage trailer photo booth! Since then, Jeanette has broadened her repertoire to include "Hamlet," a charming wooden open-air booth, as well as "Paparazzi" and "Light Painting" booths. It’s just a matter of time before Jeanette conjures up another creative way to capture the joy!
