All Skill Levels Welcome

Dive into the world of photo editing in a relaxed, judgement-free zone at our comfortable cottage, nestled in Muskoka. Tailored for both beginner and intermediate users, there’s something for everyone to learn! 

Are you eager to unlock the full potential of your Lightroom subscription, but hesitant about using layers? Intrigued by brush tools, content aware, masking, sliders, sharpening, exporting, organization workflows, generative AI, and beyond? We understand. These processes seemed overwhelming to us in the beginning, too.

Despite subscribing to the complete suite of Lightroom and Photoshop, many of us often miss out on utilizing the innovative tools available. We are thrilled to extend our hands-on creative workflow insights to you.

Hands-On,
Personalized Learning

Our cozy cottage creates the perfect environment for a laid-back, personal learning experience. In this session, we'll walk you through our editing workflows and techniques. Most importantly, you'll walk away with a better understanding of your own unique style, helping you create a consistent look across your portfolio. We'll offer friendly feedback on your previous work, boosting your confidence to transform RAW images into a creative vision. 

Tasty Treats

We'll provide a delightful selection of baked treats and light snacks, along with a variety of non-alcoholic drinks, such as juices, herbal teas, and specialty coffee. We’re committed to creating an intimate and interactive learning environment, and what better way to do that than by mixing learning with delicious refreshments?
