Meet Christina Escamilla | Owner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Christina Escamilla and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Christina, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor behind the success of Apollobooth has been our commitment to delivering a personalized and memorable experience for every client. From the moment we engage with customers, we focus on understanding their vision and tailoring our services to fit their event perfectly. Our attention to detail, high-quality equipment, and friendly, professional service ensure that every event runs smoothly and leaves a lasting impression on guests. We also prioritize customer satisfaction, following up after every event to ensure our clients are happy with the results, which has helped us build a strong reputation and gain referrals.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My career has been a journey of passion, dedication, and continuous learning. What sets Apollobooth apart from others is our focus on delivering not just photos but creating memorable experiences. We take pride in offering highly personalized services for each event, from custom photo templates to unique props that match the client’s theme. I’m most excited about our impact on our client’s special occasions, and I’m proud of the reputation we’ve built through hard work and client satisfaction.

Getting to where I am today professionally hasn’t been easy. Like any business, there have been challenges along the way, from figuring out the best equipment to managing high expectations at large events. In the early days, balancing marketing, client acquisition, and delivering great service was tough. But I learned to stay persistent, keep refining the business, and focus on the client experience above all. Overcoming those challenges meant learning to adapt, constantly improving, and always being willing to listen to feedback.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is the importance of building relationships and trust. Word-of-mouth referrals have been instrumental in our growth, and that trust comes from consistently delivering great results.

What I want the world to know about Apollobooth is that we’re not just another photo booth business – we’re about making every event unforgettable through our attention to detail and passion for what we do. Our brand story is rooted in hard work, a love for bringing people joy, and a commitment to making sure our clients and their guests leave with smiles on their faces and photos to cherish.

Finally, I’d like to thank our clients – their feedback, word-of-mouth referrals, and repeat business have been a driving force behind our success. They’ve truly helped shape Apollobooth into what it is today.
