Photo Booths for Boston-Area Universities

By Terrance | Published June 05, 2026 | 3 min read

PBPC runs photo and headshot booths for Boston-area universities — Tufts, Boston University, Boston College, and Wellesley. Why the headshot booth is the campus workhorse.

Greater Boston is one of the densest college towns in the country, and campus events have a rhythm all their own — career fairs, reunions, alumni galas, orientation, formals. PBPC has become a regular at several Boston-area universities, and the throughline is simple: the right booth for a campus event usually isn't a prop-and-strip party booth — it's a headshot station.

Universities we've worked with around Boston

  • Tufts University (Medford) — our most frequent campus client, with the Yearbook Headshot booth a fixture of career events roughly every semester. Read the Tufts case study →
  • Boston University — including an event at The Castle and a LinkedIn-style headshot booth for students.
  • Boston College — a booth activation at Conte Forum on the Chestnut Hill campus.
  • Wellesley College — headshot booths for campus career events.

Why the headshot booth wins on campus

  • It's genuinely useful. Every student walks away with a polished, LinkedIn-ready professional headshot — a rare event activation with a real payoff for attendees about to hit the job market.
  • It moves fast. The format keeps a steady stream of students flowing through a career fair without a bottleneck.
  • It scales to the whole calendar. The same setup works for orientation, reunions, and alumni events — not just the fall fair.

Beyond the headshot

Campus life isn't only career fairs. For formals, galas, and student-org events, the Classic booth and Social Booth bring the fun side, and the Orbit 360 is a centerpiece for big nights.
