Your brand. Your customer journey.
Not rented software.
A system built around you.
We are software engineers and marketers. That means we think about the screens, the data, the incentive, the follow-up, and the real-world behavior around all of it.
Branded from scan to delivery
Your colors, campaign language, prompts, image output, offers, and delivery messages—not a Light Forge template wearing your logo.
Consent-based email capture
Make delivery conditional on a clear email choice, with the language and policy links your program requires.
Optional SMS capture
Offer text delivery and marketing opt-in as distinct choices, with usage and integration scope matched to the campaign.
Campaign dashboard & exports
Review participation and approved contact data, then export it for practical follow-up or connect an agreed platform.
Custom photo and AI concepts
Build branded portraits, transformations, postcards, product worlds, loyalty cards, or a concept unique to the business.
Ongoing campaign support
Refresh offers, visual themes, prompts, and customer journeys as seasons, products, and growth goals change.
Built for businesses with real foot traffic

Business program questions
Clear before
we build.
01What exactly starts at $199 per month?+
The entry software plan includes a branded mobile capture experience, one active campaign, branded image and delivery screens, consent-based email capture, customer data export, and remote support. SMS usage, hardware, installation, advanced integrations, custom AI development, and on-site staffing are scoped separately.
02Can this work without a physical photo booth?+
Yes. The simplest launch uses a QR code customers scan with their own phones. It can live on table tents, packaging, receipts, signs, menus, or displays. You can add a tablet, kiosk, camera, lighting, printer, or hero screen when the location needs a bigger attraction.
03Can you connect to our marketing platform?+
Often, yes. The right approach depends on the platform, available APIs, data fields, consent requirements, and campaign volume. We can begin with a clean export or scope a direct integration after reviewing your stack.
04Do you guarantee a specific increase in signups?+
No. Results depend on traffic, placement, incentive, staff awareness, and customer fit. We combine software, campaign design, and marketing strategy to make the signup more compelling, then use participation data to improve it.
05Who owns the customer data and creative?+
Your business receives the customer data collected for its approved campaign. Ownership and usage rights for custom creative, software configuration, and any bespoke development are documented in the final scope.
