For birthdays · Los Angeles, United States
A guest camera made for birthdays in Los Angeles.
LA events sprawl across estates, beachside venues, and creative warehouses, so guests are often outside in changing light all day — exactly the candid window a guest camera covers best. PicShots gives every guest a digital photo roll for birthdays, with one QR scan, no app install, and a host-controlled gallery you can reveal whenever the moment is right.

Built for birthdays
Why birthday photos always disappear
- You always say 'send me the photos' and never get them
- Group chat photo dumps die in the camera roll
- The best shots are scattered across 8 phones you'll never see
- Shared albums are too much friction for casual guests
What you get
Tuned for birthdays in Los Angeles
Works for kids' parties and milestone bashes
Same flow whether it's a 6th birthday at a trampoline park or a 50th at a restaurant. Hosts who used disposable cameras finally have a digital version that works.
Free for up to 10 guests
Most small birthdays stay on the free tier forever. Pay once only when the guest list goes bigger.
Photos that won't expire in your camera roll
Your gallery stays put long after the party ends. Pull it up next year for a throwback or hand-pick prints for the wall.
Setup tips
Setup tips for a great party gallery — Los Angeles
1 Drop the QR on the favors table
Or tape it to the cake stand. Guests scan when they're already standing there, not when you remind them later.
2 Skip the per-guest limit for short parties
Under 3 hours, a generous shot allowance works better than a tight one — there's no time for spam.
3 Reveal the gallery during cake
Live shared gallery while everyone's still in the room beats sending a link two days later that nobody opens.
4 Prompt the QR before golden hour
LA's golden hour is the strongest candid window — remind guests to shoot just before sunset and you'll capture the best light of the day.

Is it really free for small parties?

Will my grandparents figure it out?
Most do. They scan the QR with their phone camera, the link opens automatically, and they tap a big shutter button. No accounts, no app store, no settings to find.
Can my kid's party use it?
Yes. You (the host) control everything; the kids just take photos like they would normally. You can delete anything you don't want kept.
Can I add the photos to my own camera roll later?
Yes. Download the whole gallery as a ZIP, or save individual photos to your phone from the gallery view.
What if guests take too many photos?
