Struggling with your DSLR or Mirrorless camera?

I remember how frustrating it is to try to use my camera and learn photography.

I, too, was a newbie - many moons ago.

I taught myself and along the way, became a world renowned photographer.

And for the past 10 years, I’ve been empowering women, teaching them how to use their cameras through this course that I’ve created: Photo 101.

Hey, I’m Monique & I'm going to teach you how to use your camera.

From frustrated - to freak-ya!

I’ll teach you how to use that expensive camera that's sitting in your closet.

Maybe your camera is 8 years old.

Maybe you've used it twice.

It doesn't matter if you don't even know how to turn it on.

This class is for you.

What my students are saying...




“OKAY SO... Let’s talk about the photography course. It was magical. Not only did it give me the courage as a beginner photographer to know I don’t need fancy equipment to be able to produce magic and emotion.

Monique truly inspired me as a person, and a photographer.

I needed the confidence in myself to be able to have the confidence to capture other people’s emotion , and I will forever be thankful for taking this class.

If you’re on the fence, JUST DO IT. Push yourself out of your comfort zone, it is so worth it.”

“I participated in Monique’s Photo 101 course when it first began 10 years ago - and it was life changing!

 Monique taught me the in and outs of my DSLR, simplified that sh*t, and gave me the confidence to dust off my camera and shine with my creative tool! Now, I’m a photographer myself and I am so grateful for this beautiful journey I’m on.”

-Meagan Ircandia, Ircandia Photography, Calgary, Canada




What my students are saying...



"This course 100% took my camera knowledge and skills to the next level and most importantly helped me feel confident using a camera I already owned. I took the course virtually and it was nothing short of amazing! Monique has an incredible energy. Thanks Monique, you truly helped change my business!"
