SHOW NOTES
When I first heard Cat’s story, I knew I had to bring her on the podcast. She didn’t just build a 7-figure photo booth business—she made a bold decision early on to be premium, not just expensive. And that choice changed everything.
In this episode, Cat and I dive into what it really means to position your brand at the top end of the market, even if you’re not there yet financially. We talk about charging more, working less, attracting high-value clients, and turning your expertise into a second revenue stream.
If you’ve ever felt resistance around raising your prices, struggled to communicate your value, or wondered how to get out of hustle mode and into growth—this one’s for you.

Hi there! My name is Catalina (Bloch) Viau
and I am a self-taught photographer/photo boother and the owner of MDRN Photobooth Co. and MDRN Activations. I started my business back in 2014 with one DSLR photo booth from PBSCO and instantly knew this was my thing. Most people see a photo booth as something fun and quirky you have at an event. I see photo booths as an incredible marketing tool, creative outlet, memory maker and business tool. I set out to master every kind of photo booth and video booth out there in my quest to grow Canada's largest photo activation company. I spent hours and thousands of dollars trying "ALL THE THINGS" so you don't have to.
