I'm Marilyn Scavo, a Miami based photographer with a degree in education, and a unique perspective on photography. Although the subject of my photography is mostly boudoir, my style is high-end editorial. My mastered use of lighting, constantly changing set designs, and expert editing skills help to create original, magazine quality images that are tasteful, classic and timeless. I own and operate a six-figure photo studio, centrally located in beautiful downtown Coral Gables, for over 12 years. I have photographed thousands of clients, many of whom are repeat customers.
Over the past 29 years, I have photographed everything from people to products to corporate trade shows, weddings and architecture. I have exhibited in Art Basal, have had my work published and awarded and I am recognized as one of Miami's top boudoir photographers. I work with everyday women and men of all ages, shapes and sizes to help them look and feel like models for their photoshoot. I offer an extensive client closet with high end shoes and lingerie, my private label photography makeup, and an all women team.
I now consider myself a master photographer and successful entrepreneur that has developed and managed multiple businesses at a time, including Boudoir by Marilyn Scavo, Corporate Photo Pros, Photo Workshops and now Boudoir Guru.
BUT IT WASN'T ALWAYS LIKE THIS
I WENT FROM $30k A YEAR WORKING IN MY FIELD OF STUDY
TO $30k A MONTH DOING WHAT I LOVE
Photography was my hobby as far back as I can remember but as a young woman in the early 90's I didn't realize it could be a career. At the age of 17 I began to study architecture in college, and I loved to photograph it. I took a dark room photo developing class as an elective and before I knew it my classmates were asking me if I would take sexy pictures of them for their boyfriends.
My first boudoir client almost 30 years ago.
At the age of 19 I went to Spain for a study abroad program and fell in love with photographing architecture. I exhibited my work in Spain and received an offer to work for National Geographic. I turned the offer down because I didn't have the confidence in my work or in myself. This took me several years to develop since I was completely self-taught.
When I returned from Spain, I soon became pregnant with my daughter, and I knew that completing a degree in architecture was going to be impossible with a baby on the way. I chose a bachelor's degree in art education instead, that way I would have time for my baby and time to work on my photography.
I QUICKLY FOUND THAT I COULD BARELY MAKE ENDS MEET BEING A SINGLE MOM,
WORKING AS A TEACHER.
I developed and taught art and photography programs to elementary, middle school and high school students for 8 years while also teaching myself everything from makeup, web development, marketing, business and even some IT. I built up my clientele and eventually outgrew my home studio. In 2009, I opened my first official boudoir studio location. Although I was terrified to leave a steady paycheck and health insurance, it was the best decision I ever made, and I haven't looked back since.
