St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, and a few of you may know, but I love any excuse to take pictures, and if they are fun pictures with my kids, friends or family all the better. To that end I thought I’d put together a quick and easy guide to making a St. Patrick’s Day photobooth that is both cute and super easy.

Step 1) Figure out where you want to take your pictures
A blank wall works great. If you’ve got a bit bright window near it, even better. Or if you’re planning on doing pictures at night, bring a few lamps close to the photo area for the best possible lighting.
Step 2) Scene Makers
I tried out a few props to see what I liked best, but they all were super easy to put up and take down and cost me less than $10 to get. I’ve got them linked below the image.
Foam Shamrocks on Amazon
Shamrock Burlap on Amazon
Green and Gold Tassels (I got mine at Hobby Lobby for I think
about $5, but this was the best I could find on Amazon)
Combo of a couple of them
Step 3) Photo Booth Props
I thought it’d be fun to make a few props that could be printed at home and taped to the back of wooden sticks or straws (slurpee straws) in my case, because for the life of me I could not find wooden dowels, nor kabob sticks at the stores around me. I printed mine on cardstock, cut them out, taped the sticks to them and we were ready to rock and roll.

or if you want to avoid the cutting taping business there are a bunch of photo booth props on Amazon for around $10
My boys are such champs about being in pictures, but I make sure my boys know they are totally optional. For this particular photoshoot only my littlest was interested in participating, but he was dang adorable.
And some pictures of my little cuteness
And that was it for us, quick set up and take down. Minimal effort, and adorable fun. If you’re looking for a fun way to do some pictures at home with your kids, for a school class party, or even for your adult friends grab your gear and enjoy.
