Hi, I'm Monique - A baker-turned photographer.  I help bakers and treat makers take better-looking photos using their smartphones.  Don't be fooled, the methods I teach can also be applied to any food or product.

I believe my purpose is to help make an impact in the dessert community

I didn't always know how I would make the impact but knew I had a purpose within the dessert community. I've always had an eye for photography, and I love looking at magazines and other beautiful photos that showcased different aspects of a dessert dish. I always wondered, as a baker, how can I better translate photography into my creations.
Well, that thought sparked something in me to learn more about photography, specifically desserts.

Have you said any of the following:

• I don't know where to begin with my photography
• I have too many orders to capture a good looking photo
• It's nighttime, I don't have good lighting
• It's day time, but I just can't get the correct natural lighting
• I'm too tired, been working all day on these orders
• I don't have the right background or props

I was already super busy. I had no time for photos

1. I work a full-time job
2. I am a full-time mom (because that is also a job)
3. I have a spouse (that is another job)
4. I'm involved in my child activities
5. I bake and prepare the cakes for my orders at night, after I come home from work, sit down with family dinner, help with homework, get my child in bed, etc.
6. I am the only one to receive orders and collect payment from clients.
7. I am the shopper, planner, baker, decorator, deliver, the cleaner.

I was lucky if I got a photo because that is something I used to do on the way out the door or right before the client picks up.  I had no time to stage or edit the photo.  I would be so tired from my normal day to day activities and turn around to prepare a cake that I would take any photo and upload it to social media and marketing materials.  I didn't care what was in the background of the cake (i.e. messy kitchen from baking) I always told myself, "Next time, I'll get a better photo."

But the pattern just kept repeating

Humble Beginnings - Taken with my smartphone

Banana pudding cake is one of my tops sellers.  I didn't know any better with this photo.  This goes to show staging is everything.  This was no way to display my hard work on this delicious homemade cake to the public.  Looking back at this photo, I wouldn't buy it just based on the photo alone.

Over the years, I started to make time for my photography because I couldn't afford a professional photographer to come to me each and every time I needed photos of my desserts.  I knew I had to learn it.  With practice and determination, I didn't give up.  I studied, enrolled in a few photography courses, read books, and simply practiced when I didn't have orders. 

See progression below

I am here to tell you

I've learned and figured it out with years of experience, trial, and errors.  I've mastered what it takes to get beautiful photos and I will teach you what they are in this course.  YOU can achieve great-looking photos using your smartphone and what you probably already have at home.

The skills taught in this class are transferable and stick with you for a lifetime because you will possess the knowledge needed to get scroll-stop photos.

Over the past four years, I've been focusing on my photography efforts, specifically on desserts. Why? Well, that is simple. I am a baker myself and understand precisely the type of image a baker wants to capture with their desserts. 

Introducing...
