Ways to make your game room more fun (besides the games)?

I got an idea for one my girlfriend keeps bugging me about. She wants her own photo booth. I have a pretty simple plan for building the frame, but the software is the problem.
Anyone know how this could be done? The only things I have found online involve very expensive software for commercial use. I told her I would work on it in exchange for acceptance of my arcade.
Hoping this will spark an idea in some of you coders. I am always happy to be a tester.

Buy her a game boy camera and you'll get the same crappy black and white photos. For $5.

An idea I shared one time that was pretty popular was to get a restored, modified pay phone for the gameroom. They are on ebay all the time.

I think I've told this story here before, but here goes.
There is a standup coinop foot massager at Salem Willows Arcade. It's from the 50s, I assume, and you stand on a heavily vibrating plate holding handles on the "cab" for stability. It really vibrates the feet, knees, etc, and does refresh. I've seen them from time to time on ebay or at auction.
My friends and I used to have a spot about 20 feet away by a pitch and bat that got little play. It never took long for a woman to walk up, drop in a dime, discover what it really did, and come back with a cup full of times and go to town.
Get one of those. Just keep your mom off of it.
