This one is cute and easy for anyone to do.

Start with just your foreheads visible and gradually come up into frame.

Line up by height, tallest to shortest, then shortest to tallest, then mix it up however you want.

It's best to do with three people, since there is only so much space.

4. Twinning

This is a cute concept for couples to try!

The girlfriend first takes a solo photo, then the boyfriend enters unnoticed at first, and finally the girlfriend turns to him and they kiss.

It can be a cute a romantic thing to do on your next date.

Examples

And in case you still need more tips, I've included some examples of celebrities posing for life shots.

You can pose just making cute faces like Hyeri and Jang Ki-yong.

It doesn't have to be a crazy or super inventive concept to look nice.

Ryujin and Yeji took sets of photos separate from each other then put them side by side for this super cute effect.

Dino and Seungkwon of SEVENTEEN took these photos while in Itaewon.

Start with the same pose, alternate poses, then end with matching poses just like Oh My Girl's Binnie did with DIA's Yebin.

The layout of these photos is a little different, but the same concept can be applied to the regular lengthwise format.

Here we see the ladies of Mamamoo crowded together to all squeeze into frame on the left example and the photos look pretty candid and natural.

If you want you can also take solo photos like Winner's Jinwoo and ASTRO's Eunwoo did.

Props & Accessories

Photo booth pictures have become so popular that shops now offer props and accessories, which make photo sessions even more fun.

It also makes it easier to think of fun ways to pose or different concepts.

Some places even have heat styling tools so you can fix your hair!

Hope you enjoyed these tips and tricks for taking cute photo booth photos.

Keep them in mind the next time you go out with your friends and take pictures and you'll look like a pro!
