We had the good fortune of connecting with Sandra Quintero Franco and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sandra, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I’ve always been passionate about events and creating and keeping special moments in people’s lives. I noticed a demand for photo booth rentals at events, but many of the options available were either too expensive or low-quality, including a lack of excellent customer service. So, I saw an opportunity to create a photo booth business that offered affordable pricing without sacrificing quality. Plus, I love the idea of being able to provide a fun and memorable experience for people at their events. It’s been much hard work but seeing the joy on our client’s faces makes it all worth it.

What should our readers know about your business?
I am very proud of my ability to create successful events that exceed expectations and bring people together meaningfully. In terms of what sets me apart from others, I believe it is my attention to detail and ability to really listen to my client’s needs and desires. I am always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that their event is everything they dreamed of and more.

Getting to where I am today business-wise was not easy. There were challenges along the way, but I overcame them by staying committed to my goals and never giving up. I learned the importance of perseverance and staying focused on the end result. My experience working with my family and my experience organizing events and activities for students during my years working in higher education put me where I am today.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned along the way is the importance of flexibility. Every event is different, and things don’t always go according to plan. Adapting and making changes on the fly is critical to success.

What I want the world to know about me and my brand is that we truly care about our clients and their events. We take pride in our work and will do whatever it takes to ensure that every detail is perfect. We aim to create unforgettable experiences that bring people together and leave a lasting impression.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend were visiting the area, I would take them on a tour of some of Florida’s most beautiful and exciting destinations. We would start by heading down to Miami Beach, where we could soak up the sun on the gorgeous beaches, take in some fantastic art at the famous Art Deco Historic District, and enjoy some delicious seafood at Santorini by Georgios. Exploring Downtown Miami, I’ll take my friend to enjoy the vibrant environment of Julia & Henry’s, where cocktails and diverse styles of food will amuse us. In Brickell, we would eat delicious Chinese food at Da Tang Zhen Wei Restaurant, where they offer a different experience at your dining table.

After a few days in Miami, we would head down to Key West, where we could take a leisurely bike ride around the island, visit the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum, and enjoy some of the best Key Lime Pie in the world. We would also take a sunset sail around the island, where we could watch the sun dip below the horizon while sipping on some delicious cocktails.

Next, we would go up to Las Olas to explore the vibrant art galleries, trendy boutiques, and delicious restaurants. We would also check out the Bonnet House Museum and Gardens, which is a beautiful historic home surrounded by lush tropical gardens.

Finally, we would end our trip by watching the sunset in Cape Coral, where we could take in the stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico while sipping on some refreshing cocktails. Overall, this week-long trip would be filled with fun, engaging, and exciting people, places, and things to check out, and it would be a trip that my best friend would never forget.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
To my beloved family, I want to dedicate this shoutout to all of you for being my constant source of support, love, and inspiration. I am grateful for the memories we’ve shared and the moments we’ve yet to make. Your unwavering encouragement and kindness have helped me navigate life’s ups and downs, and for that, I am truly blessed. I also want to credit my friends who have become family for their unwavering loyalty and companionship. Finally, to my colleagues in Higher Education who helped me to get more experience organizing events like graduations and allowing me to be part of students’ special moments, finding a way to keep their beautiful memories. Thank you all for being a part of my story and making it beautiful.
