A fun party favor that can add a bit of character to any event, caricature artists are an unexpected, easy way to entertain your guests while giving them something to take home.  Exaggerations of a person’s likeness, these drawings display an interest in a distorted and non-typical way. Be it riding a pony, or racing down a roller coaster, caricature artists are a good way to spruce up your party in a non-traditional type of drawing while adding humor!

Photos booths are becoming increasing popular to have at events.  Whether it is a birthday party, wedding, corporate event or even a prom a photo booth will be a great hit!  I mean who doesn't love getting their picture taken.  To add to the fun, my clients will bring in different props for the guests to use and get creative such as funny hats, large sun glasses, blow up guitars etc.  Bonus, it also acts as a great favor too!
