It's okay to have fun at work! In fact, it's an important component of your photo marketing service. Taking photos of your guests shouldn't be an add-on or a chore, it's critical that you make it an engaging and entertaining part of the experience that you already offer.

You want your guests to have a great time and remember their experience forever. What better way than making them the star and getting amazing photos of their adventure?

We usually recommend that the same staff that guide your guests on their experience are the ones who take the photos. Your staff are often what your guests remember most. They are the face of your business and are they are who ensures your guests have a great time.

Over the years we've run several *Fun Photo* contests with our clients. The *Fun Photo* contest was created to remind and encourage guides to have fun with their guests and the photos they take.

Here are a selection of photos submitted by our clients over the years. Use them as inspiration to add a fun photo to your photo marketing solution.
