PHOTO 101

The transformative course that will teach you how to use your DSLR or Mirrorless camera

 

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

I remember how frustrating it is to try to 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 5 years, I’ve been empowering women, teaching them how to use their cameras through this course that I’ve created: Photo 101.

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,

Welcome to PHOTO 101.

7 Years of Success!

I created this course seven years ago and it has evolved into a program that has improved each student’s photography. From mama’s wanting to capture their family memories, to takingn better photos on vacation, to better brand photos for a small business - all the while empowering each students to capture the loves of their lives - beautifully!

This course has launched many photographers into their own careers and is a pre-requisite for my photography mentorship Clueless to Clients.

“I participated in Moniques Photo 101 course when it first began 5 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.”

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!”

Bryna Thorinn, Winnipeg, Canada

“OKAY SO. Let’s talk about the photography class. 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 take my camera on vacation with confidence and capture really special family memories!

I went from being so frustrated, trying to figure out why my expensive camera wasn’t giving the pictures I’d hoped for. Now, I’m investing in some new lenses and even have friends ask to shoot content for them!

Ten years ago I bought my first DSLR camera. I walked into Future Shop, handed the sales guy $600 and asked, “What’s the best that would get me?”

I wanted to take beautiful photos.

I walked out of that store with an expensive camera and no clue how to use it. That camera sat in mg desk drawer for a year.

Every once in a while I’d turn it on, the buttons set to automatic and click a few photos. 

Disappointed because the photos felt flat, lifeless. I was frustrated because the manual was impossible to navigate. 

Back in the drawer it went.

I’d turn to Pinterest, searching “how to use your DSLR”. Blog posts would start off exciting and quickly lead me to a point I could no longer follow. I didn’t have that exact camera. Lost, confused and defeated. Again, back in the drawer.

Through trial and lots of error. Grit and grind. I taught myself.

And then guess what?

I became a professional photographer. I travelled the world telling stories with my camera and the photos I could produce.

Then guess what happened?…

I started teaching photography.

And then guess what?

My students started to become professional photographers.

Wild, right?

This is the class, the workshop, the course that I created and teach that will transform your relationship with your camera.

You will learn how to use it. 

And you will take stunning photos.

I’m so excited for you, join us?…

Let’s start shooting!
