Today we’d like to introduce you to Steven Biggs.
Hi Steven, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
In 2024, I began experiencing financial hardships and was in jeopardy of losing my home of 10 years. I had a little over $2,000 to my name and no immediate resolution in sight. While troubleshooting some ideas and venting to my photographer friend, he abruptly interrupted. He said, ” I have a 360 Photo Booth that I’ve never used. If you think you can make some money with it, you can have it!” I asked him how much trunk space I needed, and Trending Flashes was born. It didn’t start glamorous, but I have a supportive wife and family who make me feel like there is no way I can fail at anything. We rode together to do events in the middle of nowhere, backyards, and venues hours away. I’m talking 3 kids, a wife, and a driver full of anxiety and hope! I fell in love with servicing events, and seeing guests smile became my new addiction. This was shocking because I never considered using a 360 Photo Booth. However, customer referrals started coming in, and almost every booking turned into a repeat customer that year. I was able to save my family’s home, pay my photographer friend for the 360 Photo Booth, and do some consistent expanding. I kept investing, kept learning, and kept creating my own version of what servicing events should look and feel like. We valued people, and now they continue to value us.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I can honestly say this hasn’t been the roughest entrepreneurial journey I’ve traveled. Most of my wins have come with a tremendous fight and minimal rewards. With this business, it’s as if all the perfect pieces keep coming together flawlessly. All I’ve done is work hard and keep trusting God.

My favorite book is the Bible. Chat GPT has become my daily must-have, and my most valuable resource is balance.
