Online & In-Person Workshops
Teaching is one of my greatest passions. I love inspiring and empowering others to reach their full creative potential. With over 15 years of experience, I offer photography classes designed to help you grow your skills, gain confidence behind the camera, and reconnect with your creative voice.
Coming soon: in-person classes, community-building workshops in Montreal, and a few new things currently brewing — stay tuned!
The Moon Collective
Creativity is better with community
One year of creative reclamation, a month-by-month membership collective for women.
Each new month begins on the full moon.
A warm, inspiring space where art meets self-discovery — through photography, storytelling, and creative play. Designed especially for women, for all who crave expression, learning, and reconnection with themselves through any art.
This membership is built on monthly themes, with a focus on photography but expanding into creative prompts, self-reflection, artistic play, and seasonal living. However, it’s open to all forms of art and crafts.
It blends:
Guided creative exploration (in the style of the P52 and 36 Frames of Summer prompts) for photographers and other creatives of any level.
Self-discovery and expression (self-portrait/self-love guide through artful projects and discussions).
And community-driven creative learning ( "learn with me as I learn too" model)..
ILLUMINATE CLASSES
BOP- The Basics Of Photogrpahy

I teaching an online beginner photography class on the Illuminate Classes forum. This is great for anyone who can’t attend my in-person workshops. You can take the class from anywhere in the world. I can’t wait to teach you.
Learning the fundamentals of photography will not only help you to take photos that you’ve always envisioned, but also to do it confidently. Understanding how your camera works will allow you to consistently take perfectly exposed photos in any situation and allow for more creativity in your work. To do so, you need to learn how to shoot in manual mode and take informed decisions on ISO, shutter speed and aperture. Knowing what focus mode to use and how to meter in-camera to take well-exposed images are just a few things you need to learn to take full control. Understanding light and how its color (white balance) affects the end results are key principles of photography. The technical part of photography allows for more creative control and consistent results that match your vision. When science meets the arts is when the magic happens. Let me help you do that!

I have found that to harness my creativity, I always do best by setting creative challenges and stepping out of my comfort zone. My most successful attempts have come from playing, being curious, exploring new possibilities, and most importantly, ridding myself of expectations and pressure. In this course, we will do just that! Every day we will explore new creative techniques with curiosity and lots of trial and error. There will be rules broken, many rules followed a lot of hard work but all in good fun. You can expect failure, but there is no creativity without failure. During our time together, we will also discuss what creativity is, inspiration, and how to sustain a healthy creative life. This is an invitation to play, find new and unique ways to make photographs, and be pleasantly surprised by the results. These techniques can be used to photograph your everyday and even your clients, for photographers of any genre.
