The Visionary Behind Desert Luna
Photo Cred: Kelsey Carlson
Meet Sarah: Part creative genius, part experience architect, and 100% the reason Desert Luna is anything but your average photo booth company.
What started in 2018 as a side hustle, an addition to her wedding planning business, ended up exploding into a full-blown luxury photo booth phenomenon shaping the photo booth industry forever.
Armed with a degree in Business & Marketing and an eye for what makes people stop and say “WOW,” Sarah has grown Desert Luna from boutique beginnings to a powerhouse known for global partnerships, pop-ups, and brand collabs that actually move the needle forward.
Her philosophy? Luxury shouldn’t be intimidating—and no event is too small for a little extra magic.
At the end of the day, it’s simple: Sarah is here to help you capture the kind of moments people talk about long after the party’s over.
Sarah’s belief in building long term client relationships is what makes her & Desert Luna the go-to photo booth company you’ve been searching for. She believes in building legacy, and celebrating all of life’s moments with you!
Photo booths may evoke nostalgia for the past, but at Desert Luna, we celebrate this timeless classic while revolutionizing your photo booth experience.
Our Glow-Up Story
because it’s worth reading…
Started Desert Luna with zero idea what we were doing—but hey, we booked four events before even owning a photo booth (talk about manifesting)! Pricing? Clueless. Confidence? Off the charts. We had to start somewhere!
2018 – The Wild Start
Teamed up with Katie Hoss, and life was never the same. Got featured in Inspired by This, (you can read the article here) which landed us incredible clients. Oh, and we casually booked 100 events in our first year. No big deal.
2019 – The Year of Game-Changing Connections
Sarah met Kaytee Lauren on Instagram (where all great business friendships start) and decided to launch The Creative Photo Booth Podcast. Talking shop, spilling tea, and creating a community—check, check, and check.
Late 2019 – Instagram Friendships FTW
2020 – Big Moves & Bigger… Well, You Know
Partnered with Everybooth and launched a backdrop collection for the photo booth community nationwide. Then… well, you know what happened in 2020. But we pivoted, stayed creative, and came back stronger.
2021 – The Boom Era💥
Events? Packed. Booked. Overflowing. We built a powerhouse team, made a name for ourselves, and scaled up to rock 300-500 events a year. From dreamy weddings to high-energy brand activations, we didn’t just show up—we delivered.
And the industry took notice. We've been featured in Vogue, Brides, Green Wedding Shoes, Palm Springs Life, The Knot, 100 Layer Cake & many more…even on a TV show—because when it comes to capturing memories, we do it like pros.
2024 – The Leap to LA
Sarah expanded to Los Angeles, diving into the world of brands, artists, creatives, filmmakers, and entrepreneurs. New city, same mission—building relationships and elevating experiences.
2025 – Not Another Selfie, But a Movement
Launched our first Not Another Selfie pop-up in Venice, CA—the first of many. Spreading joy, connection, and unforgettable moments, one photo at a time with a photo booth pop-up & dance party! Want to partner with us!? Reach out!
The Future – Are You In? 🚀
We’re here to create conscious, innovative, and meaningful experiences that get people off their phones and into the present moment. If you believe in co-creating a more connected, impactful future, let’s make magic together.
Doing Our Part
Why Us?
If we haven’t convinced you by now…maybe our mission will?
I mean, let’s face it, without YOU, we simply wouldn’t exist, and our dreams wouldn’t be a reality today.
When you book Desert Luna, you aren’t just booking another photo booth company, YOU are joining a movement— OUR MOVEMENT.
