Party Pics Official

🎉 Remember Your First College Party Photo?

The DJ was spinning, the drinks were flowing, and someone in a Party Pics® tee leaned in with a camera – flash. Just like that, your college memory was frozen in time.

If you were in college during the ‘70s, ‘80s, or even ‘90s, Party Pics®  was the name in social event photography. And now, it’s back. With a new name: Party Pics Official™ .

📸 The Return of an Icon

Founded over 50 years ago by Jack Counts (aka “Papa Photo” – he pretends to hate the nickname), Party Pics® started as a grassroots idea and became the spark that launched Candid Color Systems. On campuses across the country, Party Pics captured millions of memories—and it became more than just a photography service. It became a brand students recognized, trusted, and even looked forward to seeing at parties and formals.

Now, we’re bringing it back, with a fresh look and a powerful opportunity for photographers across the country.

💡 Why It’s Back (and Why It Matters)

Let’s be real: retro is in.

Gen Z and Millennials are obsessed with vintage aesthetics. Just look at the explosion of film photography, digital point-and-shoots, and thrifted graphic tees. Party Pics® taps directly into that energy and nostalgia sells.

When you bring Party Pics to your city or campus, you’re not just offering photography. You’re offering a feeling: trust, fun, and instant social proof. People know the name. And they want in.
