Hi! I'm Catalina

My name is Catalina Bloch and I am a self-taught photographer/photo boother and the owner of MDRN Photobooth Co. (6 figure luxury wedding photobooth) and MDRN Activations (7 figure corporate photobooth). I started my business back in 2014 with one DSLR photo booth from PBSCO and instantly knew this was my thing. What started as a side hustle grew into a 7 figure business in a few short years. 

While growing my business I had to piece together a lot of information myself from various places since there weren't really courses or resources available. 

Including how to price my photo booth rentals, which was the most challenging thing to overcome.

I want to change that by creating the best photo booth education resource out there. 

 

Two complete frameworks. Two different markets. One membership

Land High-Paying Corporate Clients Without the Guesswork

The Corporate Hustle teaches you how to find, approach, pitch, close, and keep corporate clients.

The language they use, the way procurement works, what to put in a proposal, how to follow up without being annoying, and how to turn a single booking into a retainer relationship. I have been booking corporate clients for over a decade and this is everything I know.  

Show corporate clients your value before the pricing conversation even starts.

Stop guessing your way through pitches and proposals. Walk in knowing what to say and why it works.

Turn one-time corporate bookings into repeat clients and retainer relationships that keep your calendar full year round.

How to Book Luxury Wedding Clients on Autopilot 

The C.A.T. Wedding Method teaches you how to move up in the wedding market by curating your brand and positioning, automating your back end so you stop drowning in manual work, and thrilling your clients and planners so they refer you without being asked.

If your work is better than the tier you are booking at, this course shows you how to fix that. 

Position your brand so premium couples see you as an investment, not a line item in their budget.

Set up the systems that bring wedding inquiries to you consistently without you chasing every single one.

Get better at turning inquiries into signed contracts. No scripts, zero pressure, and a process that works.

 You Also Get the Full Thrive Library

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.

Your 12 Month Roadmap 

Six sprints. Specific goals. Completion milestones.

You always know what to work on next.

Catalina is my go-to person for anything business and photo booth related.

Her advice and time are invaluable, and I am honestly not sure where my business would be without her expertise and guidance."

From Members Who Did the Work

“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

“If you’re wanting to take your Photo Booth business to the next level, you NEED to 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.

My advice to anyone considering it: You need to do this!!!! This is going to take your business to the next level. What are you waiting on?” 

Christa E. Ellis - Luxe Photo Booth KC

“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

"One module that left a lasting impression on me was the in-depth exploration of pricing strategies for corporate clients. This was a game-changer for me in understanding how to navigate the intricacies of pricing in the corporate world and how to effectively showcase this via proposals."

Kiefa Doherty

"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

"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."

Is Thrive Plus right for you?

This is for you if you are already operating, you know your work is good, and you are ready to move from operator to founder.

If you want corporate clients but have never been taught how to find them, talk to them, or close them.

If you want luxury weddings but your brand and positioning are still speaking to the wrong tier.

This is not for you if you are brand new and still learning the technical side. Thrive is where that happens. And 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.

Plus, now our team can send out quotes without bugging me for complex inquiries. And that blueprint template? A lifesaver! No more guessing if I priced right or if I'm being profitable. If you're in the photo booth business, this resource is a must-have.”

“I have enjoyed taking all the courses in Photo Booth Mastery and now the pricing guide. If I would have done a course like this when I first started it would have saved me so much time and money. Unfortunately, this was not around when I first begin my Photobooth ownership journey, but glad I am emerging myself on this knowledge now. ”

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.”
