the Boudoir Trifecta Workshop
An Immersive 2 Day Photographer Gathering:
Build Your Business, Perfect Your Portfolio, and Expand Your Niche
Boudoir photography is often spoken about as if it were a single genre. But those who work within it know the truth — the most compelling work lives within the subtleties of the niche. The Boudoir Trifecta with Cate Scaglione is a two-day immersive workshop created for photographers ready to do exactly that.
3 Powerful Specialties
We will dive into Cate’s big 3 — Bridal Boudoir, Curves & Plus Size, and Fine Art Nude Outdoors. We’ll explore not only how to photograph these sessions beautifully, but also how to market and position these niches effectively within your own business.
Imagine two days photographing along the coast in one of New Jersey’s most charming seaside towns — mornings begin with the sunrise over the Atlantic, early afternoons filled with natural light and creativity in the studio, then evenings spent in creative conversation over cocktails and music.
Limit to 10 Photographers
With just 10 out-of-state photographers selected to attend, this is an intimate, joyful education experience designed to expand your portfolio and your perspective.
Cate Scaglione has designed this workshop specifically for experienced photographers who want to discover the deeper layers of boudoir. By expand your offerings into these three specific niches, you can grow your high-value creative, expand your ideal clientele, and generate repeat business among existing clients.
Together, at Cate’s coastal studio oasis, we will collaborate as a group step deeply into these three powerful niches…
Big Impact Bridal Boudoir: Learn how Cate has created a specialty market with brides that generates leads, increases sales potential, and you’ll develop an intentional, high-impact portfolio that attracts high-value brides… and fulfills your marketing library.
Curves & Plus Size Perfection: Immerse yourself in a more focused, intentional approach for serving our larger bodied-clients with confidence and satisfaction. Using her knowledge of 15 years specifically catering to this client, Cate will discuss how she’s generated higher sales and discovered her greatest brand advocates. Cate along with her model will share powerful posing and modifications; mindful direction and verbiage; superior plus-size styling; and incorporate the gentle psychological tactics that support and serve.
Nudes on the Ocean — A guided portfolio building experience in one of New Jersey’s most beautiful beaches, we’ll be taking on a different approach to nudes…right in the sand. We’ll start the day with a brief lecture. Explore the aspects of business and marketing this art. Then, enjoy an afternoon creating inspiring art by the sea. Even if you live nowhere near a beach on the daily, this will grow your portfolio and demonstrate your fine art range for your clients.
