Your photo experience needs to be uniquely aligned to your brand, beautifully designed and energetically executed.

A Decade of Creativity: Celebrating 10 Years of Hip Image

Hip Image is a collective of individuals who know that creativity and uniqueness happen when you bring new ideas together in fresh, unexpected ways.

For the past 10 years, we’ve been redefining event experiences, pushing creative boundaries, and delivering memorable brand activations that stand out.

Meet the energy behind Hip Image: professional event photographer Monique de St. Croix and PR/brand strategist Jo Williams. A decade ago, this dynamic duo made their mark as the first to bring the VW photo booth concept to Canada, and they haven’t stopped evolving since. From interactive photo experiences to cutting-edge event technology, Hip Image continues to innovate, creating immersive activations that leave a lasting impact.

As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we’re excited to keep shaping the future of event experiences—bringing bold ideas, unique storytelling, and next-level engagement to every event we touch.

There are no limits to the ingenuity of this team. They know how to create the right solution for any challenge. They have created sets for client events that movie crews would drool —including giving Major Tom in Calgary a makeover for an Amazon “in the cloud” holiday event, creating an anti-gravity room for Brookfield, building an authentic Métis trapper’s cabin from scratch and much more.

Every staff member brings that unique life of the party energy to their job ensuring the Hip station is the hippest element of every event, with no aspect left to chance. Branded templates and a hashtag printer help to amplify the photos in the social media space providing ROI and brand recognition for your investment.
This Calgary-grown, women-owned, Métis partner company has turned the standard photo booth industry on its head since VW Bus Buttercup arrived on the scene in 2015. What began as a fun party favour side gig has evolved into a sought-after brand extension experience.
