We had the good fortune of connecting with Rebecca Godoy and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rebecca, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
The idea to start my own photo booth business emerged from a mix of wanting to be part of others’ special moments, making parties more fun and exciting, and creating something that is truly my own. My husband and I began designing and building our own photo backdrops to add an extra layer of fun to our parties and celebrations. I’ve always been dedicated to capturing special moments, whether it’s through photographs, videos, or holding onto meaningful mementos. What better way to cherish memories than through a photo booth company, where not only can you capture the moment, but also preserve it as a keepsake! I envisioned a company that could provide not just a photo-taking service, but a complete experience that would add an extra layer of fun and excitement to any event. I wanted to offer something that could bring people together, create lasting memories, and add a touch of personalization to each occasion. Our little hobby evolved into a greater idea, and now we get to share this joy with others!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My career journey has been a blend of passion, persistence, and a deep commitment to creating memorable experiences. What sets me apart is not just the photo booth services I offer, but the heart and creativity I pour into every event. What excites me the most is the opportunity to weave a sense of joy and uniqueness into people’s special moments.

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is the significance of adaptability. The event industry is ever-evolving, and being adaptable is key to staying relevant and delivering outstanding experiences. Additionally, building a strong network and seeking mentorship from experienced peers. I’ve been fortunate to learn a great deal from others who generously offer their support through various platforms. This collective spirit of sharing knowledge has been a tremendous asset in my growth as a professional. Learning from the experiences and wisdom of others has enabled me to overcome challenges more effectively and has accelerated my progress in the industry.

What I want the world to know about my brand and story is that it’s built on a foundation of passion and a genuine desire to add value to people’s lives. Every event is an opportunity for me to infuse creativity and fun, leaving a lasting impression on attendees. I’m incredibly proud of the smiles and laughter I’ve been able to bring to various occasions, making them truly unforgettable.

Ultimately, my journey is a reminder that success is a culmination of determination, embracing challenges, and continuously evolving. I’m excited about the future, where I can continue creating remarkable moments, learning, and growing, while leaving a positive mark on people’s lives!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My best friend comes to town and I want to show them the best time ever. My best time ever is relaxing near a pool or a beach, in the sun, and eating my favorite foods… so that is exactly what we would do! We would hit the beach, most likely Laguna Beach since it is my favorite! We’d spend some time by the water and then head to the down town area for some brunch and shopping. We would definitely hit up Glen Ivy Hot Springs and spend the day pampering ourselves, drinking yummy drinks, and eating good food. And then I would probably just stop at my favorite shops and restaurants! Ultimately, I would want us to relax, spoil ourselves, and have fun!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’d like to dedicate my shoutout to Iliana Garcia-Flores, of Iliana Garcia Photography! Iliana’s journey has been an inspiring testament to the power of dedication and determination. Starting from the ground up, she transformed her passion for photography into a flourishing business, all through her own hard work and ingenuity. Iliana has been an incredible advocate for my business, consistently recommending my services to her clients and believing in what I do.

One remarkable moment of her support was when she connected me with a fantastic opportunity to work with the Parks and Recreation Department for Temple City, which has been a significant milestone for my small business. Her mentorship and guidance have played a pivotal role in my success, and I can confidently say that a whopping 50% of my bookings can be attributed to her recommendations! I’m truly fortunate to have her in my corner, and I can’t thank her enough for her generosity and kindness.
