Meet Beza Faris | Photo Booth Owner with a Passion for Sales & Storytelling

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

Hi beza, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I’ve always known that the traditional 9-to-5 life wasn’t for me. I value freedom, creativity, and being in control of my time. For years, I had an entrepreneurial mindset I used to buy and resell hair clips, always thinking about how I could turn a simple product into income. But over time, I started asking myself a deeper question: What can I do that I truly love? Something that not only makes money, but also brings me joy?

I began exploring different ideas and keeping an open mind. One day, while browsing Craigslist, I came across someone renting a photo booth. That moment sparked something in me. I’ve always enjoyed photography and capturing memories it’s something I genuinely care about. So I started researching the business, learning about what it would take to own a photo booth, and that’s how Reflect Me 360 was born.

For me, it was about finding a path where passion and purpose meet something that aligns with who I am and allows me to create joy and memory that lasts forever while building something of my own.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
As the owner of Reflect Me 360, I’m still learning every single day. I didn’t come from the photo booth world this was completely new to me. I’ve had to teach myself everything: how to run the booth, use multiple software programs, design templates, talk to clients, sell my services, and show up at events with confidence. And I’m doing it all as a one woman team.

Building a business from the ground up isn’t easy especially when you’re doing it alone. People see the fun side of photo booths, but behind the scenes, there’s so much to manage. Every booking is a new opportunity for me to grow not just as a business owner, but as a communicator, a problem-solver, and a creative.

What keeps me going is my passion for creating joyful experiences and my drive to build something meaningful. Even when it’s hard and it often is I remind myself that every challenge is just part of the journey.

Reflect Me 360 isn’t just a business. It’s my classroom, my vision, and my purpose.

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.
When friends come to visit me in LA, I love giving them a full experience some iconic sights, some local hangouts, and always a lot of good food and good vibes.

One of my favorite places to start is Venice Beach. I love taking people to Hotel Erwin’s rooftop it has a beautiful view of the entire beach and the city skyline, especially at sunset. We’ll usually stop by The Waterfront Venice for food or drinks right by the ocean it has a great energy.

Another favorite experience is heading to Malibu. I used to love taking people to Moonshadows before it burned down it was one of those perfect oceanfront spots But there are still so many great views and beach vibes in Malibu that make the trip worth it.

Food is a big part of any visit. I grew up in Italy, and I have a lot of European friends here, so we usually cook at home and have cozy dinner parties. With Italians, there’s always good food whether you’re hungry or not! But I also love taking guests to Little Ethiopia on Fairfax. The food is delicious and it’s such a rich cultural experience.

When it comes to exploring the city, we usually check out Melrose Avenue, West Hollywood, and the Hollywood area. But instead of just doing the typical tourist stops, I like to show people some local favorites like the Batman Cave (Bronson Caves), Birds café, and the Bourgeois Pig coffee shop. It’s where more of the locals hang out, and it has a creative, relaxed vibe.

We’ll also go hiking at Griffith Park it’s a beautiful way to get a view of the city and spend time in nature. Whether we’re exploring outdoors or just having good conversation over a home-cooked meal, I always want my guests to leave feeling like they experienced the real LA.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There are so many people and moments that shaped my journey, but if I had to give credit where it’s due, I’d start with my family. Their love, resilience, and support have always been the root of everything I do. I’m building Reflect Me 360 not just for myself, but for them to create a legacy, to provide, and to show what’s possible when you dream big and stay committed.

I also want to give a shoutout to She Is Hope LA, an organization that uplifts single mothers and families. Being part of their events and seeing the strength in that community has deeply inspired me and reminded me why my work matters not just for entertainment, but for connection and empowerment.

And finally, I want to recognize all the mentors and strong women some I’ve met personally, some through books or online that reminded me I don’t have to follow the traditional path to be successful. They gave me permission to take risks, believe in my own creativity, and trust my gut.

Reflect Me 360 is a reflection of all of that love, encouragement, and bold spirit.
