On Thursday, February 12, 2026, we brought our Portrait Booth to Homecoming 2026 at LSU of Alexandria, running from 11 AM to 1 PM in the campus quad for students and campus staff, with a Wizard of Oz themed layout.
LSUA is Louisiana State University of Alexandria, and its campus sits at 8100 Hwy 71 South in Alexandria. For Homecoming 2026, the theme was Wizard of Oz and Wicked, and we got to carry that theme right into the booth.
We set up in the campus quad for a midday window, from 11 AM to 1 PM. That timing put the booth right in the middle of the school day, when students and staff were moving between classes.
LSUA is a campus we know well. We have also worked LSU Alexandria High Rollers in February 2024 and an LSUA Residential Life Block Party in November 2025, so it was good to be back for Homecoming.
This booking was our Portrait Booth with the Plus package, with social sharing added. Guests posed in front of a purple flower wall, and the props included crowns, oversized sunglasses, hats and cat ears.
The photo layout is where the theme really came through. It read “There’s no place like HOMECOMING” with the LSUA logo, and the design showed a yellow brick road winding past green hills and red poppies toward an Emerald City, all framed by a sky-blue border. It was a fun nod to the Wizard of Oz and Wicked theme, and it made every print feel like part of Homecoming week.
The purple flowers behind the students paired well with the bright colors on the layout. Purple, green, red and yellow all showed up in the same frame, which gave the photos a bold, cheerful look.
Social sharing was added to this booking, so students could share their photos right away instead of waiting until later.
Students and campus staff came through in groups of friends. The props were a big part of the fun. Crowns went on, oversized sunglasses came out, and hats and cat ears turned up in plenty of frames.
Groups of friends are what a homecoming booth is made for. People stepped in together, tried a few poses, swapped props and headed back out to the rest of their day with a Homecoming photo to share.
If you are planning a homecoming week event at a college in Central Louisiana, here are a few things we keep in mind.
Plan a midday window between classes. A booth from 11 AM to 1 PM catches students and staff as they move around campus. A midday slot works well when your crowd is coming and going instead of arriving all at once.
Carry the homecoming theme into the layout. Your theme is already on banners and shirts, so put it on the photos too. Send us your theme, colors and logo, and we can design a layout around them, just like the yellow brick road and Emerald City here.
Add sharing so students can post right away. Students want to share their photos the same day. Adding social sharing to your booking lets them do that. Our Digital Social Booth is another option if sharing is the main goal.
Pick a backdrop that works with the layout. A colorful backdrop like this purple flower wall gives the photos a finished look. Take a look at our backdrop rentals to find one that fits your theme.
Keep the props simple and fun. Crowns, sunglasses, hats and cat ears are easy to grab, quick to swap, and they keep the line moving for groups of friends.
We bring our booths to campuses and events across Central Louisiana, from Alexandria to Pineville and Ball.
Final pricing depends on the date, location, hours and add-ons. Our photo booth rental cost page explains what goes into it.
If you are planning a homecoming, a block party or any campus event in Alexandria, we would love to help you bring your theme to the booth. Get a Quote and send us your date, campus location and theme.
