Hi! I'm Catalina

I am a self-taught photographer/photo boother. I built a six-figure luxury wedding photo booth business (MDRN Photobooth Co.) and a seven-figure corporate activations business (MDRN Activations).

I learned that doing excellent work at events was only part of the job. Pricing it, selling it, building relationships and creating systems were different skills.

I created the training inside Thrive to teach photo booth owners those business skills. The Founder Path helps you choose which one to work on first, based on the bookings and numbers you already have.

Two complete frameworks. Two different markets. One membership

 Build a deliberate approach to corporate clients

Learn how to identify prospects, shape an offer for their event, prepare a proposal, follow up and pursue repeat work. Use the templates and pricing tools to turn what you learn into pitches you can actually send. 

Make your wedding business easier to choose and easier to run

Work on your positioning, pricing, inquiry process, client experience and planner relationships. Build an offer that reflects the quality of your work, then improve the steps between a new inquiry and a signed booking.

 You Also Get the Full Thrive Library

Why You need Both markets 

Weddings fund the business and can be automated until they mostly run themselves.

Corporate is where you grow.

Most photo booth owners build one and leave the other mostly to chance.

We learned what that costs from experience.

In 2020, every wedding disappeared after March and corporate carried our business.

In 2023, corporate was slow to come back, and we did roughly 300 weddings.

Two very different years. Both times, one side of the business carried the other.

That is why Thrive includes both The C.A.T. Wedding Method and The Corporate Hustle. 

Thrive gives you the training and the Founder Path to build both sides of the business.

We don't mess with the part of your business that's paying the bills.

Where you start depends on your numbers. If weddings are already steady and profitable, you may go straight to building corporate. If your wedding business is still booking below your new pricing anchor, you'll work there first.

Stabilize cash flow first. Then build the next market.

Your Questions Answered at 10pm

This AI is Trained on everything in our technical library, The Corporate Hustle and The C.A.T. Wedding Method.

When you are figuring out how to respond to a corporate inquiry at 10pm, or second-guessing a luxury wedding proposal, or troubleshooting equipment before an event, you have something to ask.

Not a generic AI. An assistant that knows what I taught you and helps you apply it in real time.

Know what to work on next

You don’t need to open 40 trainings and figure out which one might help.

Start with the bookings you have now. If wedding inquiries are coming in but your average sale isn’t where you want it, work on your offer, pricing, and how you present it to couples. Use The C.A.T. Wedding Method and the wedding tools to make those changes.

If weddings are already steady and you want corporate work, start with The Corporate Hustle. Work on who you’re approaching, what you’re offering, and how you pitch and follow up.

The Founder Path takes you through one priority at a time. The courses and templates support the work, and you can bring questions to two live group coaching calls each month. You’ll know why you’re opening a resource and what you’re using it to change.

Workflows, streamlining processes, how my BA’s will represent me and the company. Thinking more of a “corporation” instead of a side-hustle mentality.

I have made the leap in the last 30 days from losing my corporate job, to really take the time to think about the next steps and how I want to elevate.

Is Thrive right for you? 

Thrive is built for photo booth owners who have been in business for at least one year and are doing $50K or more in annual revenue.

At that point, you have enough bookings and business history to work on pricing, positioning, wedding and corporate markets, lead generation, and systems using your own numbers.

If you’re not there yet, start with the 6 Figure Planning Tool.

It will show you what to work on first, and you can come back to Thrive as the business grows.

If you need smaller group coaching, that is Scale.

 

You Figured Out the Technical Side. Now What?

You have put in the work. You know your equipment inside out. You show up to every event prepared. Your clients leave happy. You are good at this.

But being good at running a photo booth and being good at running a photo booth business are two very different skill sets. And most of us, myself included when I started, only ever learned the first one.

So you end up stuck in this weird place where you know the quality of your work should be getting you better clients, but you do not know how to reach them. You can see the corporate contracts and the premium weddings happening in your market and you know you could deliver at that level. 

You have never been taught how to get in that room.

What you’re paying for throughout the year

You may start Thrive because your wedding pricing needs work. Six months later, the priority may be corporate sales, your inquiry process, or training someone else to deliver an experience you currently run yourself.

You have the courses and templates for each of those decisions. The Founder Path helps you focus on the work in front of you, and twice-monthly group coaching gives you a place to bring questions as you implement it.

You don’t need to finish every training for Thrive to be useful. You need to use the right training when your business needs it.

Results from the trainingS now included in Thrive

These owners bought the courses separately before they were included in Thrive. Here’s what they said about using the training.

THE C.A.T. WEDDING METHOD 

"We’ve already seen a tenfold return on our investment and still haven’t even fully implemented everything we learned.”

 

Troy Barnes

- Mirror Image Photo Booths

 THE CORPORATE HUSTLE

"April is on fire for me. We booked so many events with major brands, and honestly, the whole corporate hustle really gave me a clear vision of what I needed to do and the tools to pitch all these different activations. We're working on some really cool events for Ulta, Dolce & Gabbana, Modelo, The Final Four, and a bunch of other makeup brands."

 THE CORPORATE HUSTLE & THE C.A.T WEDDING METHOD

“If you’re wanting to take your Photo Booth business to the next level, you NEED take The C.A.T. Wedding Method course along with The Corporate Hustle. The knowledge that Cat has is amazing, and the fact that she is willing to share with others to help them elevate to the next level, you can’t get this any where else.

I'M READY! LET ME IN

What real-life photo booth owners are saying about The C.A.T Wedding Method…

“CAT Wedding Method is a must for anyone that wants to elevate their business into being the best in the industry. My big "aha moment" was learning about the Smarketing Sales Funnel.

My advice to anyone considering it: 
Take it nowwww”

Anneth Pablo - Snaptrend Photo Booth

“Worth every penny. I would have paid more for an extra day! I know that my business will be more successful having taken the course. I will follow Cat to the ends of the earth. I trust her and whole heartedly.

My advice to anyone considering it: If you want to propel your business with tried and true processes invest in yourself and do it. You will make it back in one or two events. ”

Kimyada Benjamin - Clickn It Photo Booth

“If you’re wanting to take your Photo Booth business to the next level, you NEED to take this course along with The Corporate Hustle.

What real-life photo booth owners are saying about Corporate Hustle…

 "I felt like I was learning to work with corporate clients as I went, fake it until you make it. Now I feel like I am equipped with the tools and knowledge I need to approach them with confidence."

Marissa Chiu

“The Corporate Hustle course was a game-changer for my photobooth rental business! Despite almost a decade of experience, I gained fresh insights, especially in optimizing workflows to achieve more while working less. Catalina’s teaching style is exceptional.”

Marko - MBP Photo Booth

“The amount and speed at which our team learns from you is honestly incomparable to any other resources that exist in this world. This course is LIT 🔥”

Polar Ice Photo Booth

The proposal and service guides are gold.  The worksheets to REALLY dig into the core of your base is gold as well! We spend so much to learn the techniques and on the equipment, we've got to make the numbers match and make sense and say our rate with pride.”

Beyonca De La Paz

You already have the talent and the technical skill. Thrive is where you build the FOUNder business to match

I used to think we couldn't position ourselves as the most expensive booth company in our area since we're still new, and there are companies with over 8 years of experience.
But now, I realize we absolutely can because we're offering a unique experience that others simply aren't.
