Do you remember what it was like to be young and inspired? With the brightest possibilities for your future fueled by your own capacity to dream, invent and create? Think back to your years in undergrad, sitting on a bench on your college campus musing about fully-financing some project\u2014a yet-to-be-hatched endeavor full of risk and passion. Wrapped in the youthful hope of your college years, surrounded by the calming crisp of fall, it\u2019s easy to get distracted from the textbook on your lap by fleeting dreams of starting your own business from scratch and transforming it into a successful company.<\/p>\n

With an impressive amount of drive, and a determined passion, those wistful plans can indeed be realized. Katrina Santos and Brandon Wong, founders of Photobooth Supply Co.<\/a>, embarked on their own entrepreneurial adventure while in college and, with the help of Microsoft Surface, turned their budding business into a digitally-sound, wildly successful enterprise.<\/p>\n

The beginnings of a digital entrepreneurial adventure<\/strong><\/p>\n

Originally dorm-mates and college sweethearts, the pair started a part-time wedding photography business together that continued to flourish after their graduation. Though the company was indeed successful, it was a difficult business to scale, as both Katrina and Brandon were limited by the need to be physically present at each shoot. After considering ways to address the challenge, the pair created Photobooth Supply Co., providing high-quality, portable photo booths to other photographers and entrepreneurs. The photo booths offered an extra layer of creativity and functionality for guests at weddings, galas, birthday parties, company events and so much more.<\/p>\n

Boosting photographic creativity and empowering customers with Microsoft Surface<\/strong><\/p>\n

When searching for a digital solution to serve as the bedrock of their photo booths, Microsoft Surface was unmatched in both its affordability and premier features. Its streamlined interface offered a level of comfortability that supported users with a wide range of tech experiences, and its powerful technology supported the creation of video, animated GIFs, and advanced filters\u2014all capabilities that were not possible with other portable devices. The device\u2019s touchscreen was another added bonus, lending users familiarity and peace of mind with a responsive device that was easy to learn quickly, and facilitated a tangible, user-friendly, digital photography experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen our customers unbox their Photobooth, they\u2019re blown away by the fact that a Microsoft Surface Pro is powering their entire event,\u201d says Brandon.<\/p>\n
