Welcome!

Welcome to Polka Dot Photo! I’m so glad you stopped by. This is where you will find sneak peeks from recent sessions, specials I am running and new product offerings.

My name is Rina and I am a mom to 3 wonderful girls. I have taken great pleasure in documenting the passing years through countless photographs. Over the past couple of years I have come to realize that my hobby has turned in to a passion. I am so excited to be starting this new adventure in my life. Through the art of photography I would like to create cherished memories for friends, family and clients.

I am a Winnipeg, Manitoba natural light photographer.  I specialize in maternity, newborn and family portraiture.  Portrait sessions are done conveniently in your home or at a location that is special to you. Using natural light, my sessions will last approximately 2 hours depending on what type of session is booked. I don’t put any limits on poses or outfit changes.

If you are interested in booking a session or would like a little more info, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Baby Sienna {Winnipeg newborn Photographer}

I spent the afternoon taking newborn pictures of this sweet little girl.  I met her mom and dad back in April to do their maternity session and they were looking forward to finding out who would be joining their lives.  What a pleasant surprise for them to meet their sweet little daughter. She did a fantastic job for her first photo session.  Winnipeg newborn photos, Winnipeg newborn pictures, best Winnipeg baby photographer, baby photos Winnipeg, Winnipeg baby photographer

One year old fun {Winnipeg Child Photographer}

I met this family last year as they were awaiting the birth of their first child and over this past year I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing them to document the birth of their daughter, and then again when she turned 6 months old.  I was looking forward to seeing them again and seeing how much Claire has grown.  She has grown in to the sweetest little one year old and I thoroughly enjoyed our session!  outdoor family photos, 1 year old child photos, Winnipeg child photographer, Winnipeg family photographer, St. Vital park family pictures, 1 year photo session, family photo session outdoors

Sweet Little Daisy {Winnipeg Newborn Photographer}

Little Miss Daisy isn’t even due for another couple of weeks and yet here she was 3 weeks old already for her newborn session.  It was busy in the studio with 2 big sisters, a big brother, mom and dad and Grandma in visiting from out of town.  She did a fantastic job and although she wasn’t too sleepy, once we got her asleep she gave us a little time to get some poses done.  This will be one busy household!

Beautiful Spring Blooms {Winnipeg photographer}

Couldn’t resist snapping some pics of the tree out front in full bloom with that beautiful evening light.

Soon to be three {Winnipeg maternity photographer}

Last night I ventured out to one of my favourite locations to do a maternity session with this great couple.  They are expecting their first child in a couple of weeks and are looking forward to becoming parents.  The weather this Spring has been horrible for planning outdoor sessions and we were so lucky that the skies cleared and the sun peeked out from behind the clouds just in time for our shoot.  They were fantastic to work with even with all the tick infested grass we waded through.  I think the first few pictures are worth it.  Can’t wait to meet your new addition in a short time :)   Winnipeg maternity photographer, best Winnipeg maternity photographer, outdoor photo sessions, Winnipeg baby photographer, maternity images,

3 Generations in the Park {Winnipeg Family Photographer}

Saturday evening turned out to be a beautiful night for a photo session in the park.  I had the opportunity to do a photo session with a Dad and his 2 grown children and their family.  I had a great time getting to know the family and enjoyed watching how fun-loving and easy spirited they all were together.  They made my job so easy.  Winnipeg family photographer, Winnipeg family photo sessions, family pictures, St. Vital Park, best family photographer Winnipeg

Maternity in the park {Winnipeg maternity photographer}

I had a fantastic time the other night meeting this couple for an outdoor maternity session.  It has been a long time since I’ve had the chance to do an outdoor session – it’s so nice to be able to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather.  We had a gorgeous evening session at a park close by and I had a great time meeting K and S and their first furbaby, Bella.  Thank you for letting me play around in the evening light and wading in to the tick infested forest and grass with me!  I think it was worth it.  maternity photographer Winnipeg, outdoor mmaternity blog collageaternity photos, Winnipeg newborn photographer, Winnipeg family photographer, maternity images, best Winnipeg maternity photographer

A little Pink…{Winnipeg newborn photographer}

I met this young family a couple of months ago for a maternity session and I was looking forward to meeting their latest addition to their family.  They welcomed a little girl in to their busy household and now have added a little pink to their lives.  Little Miss M fought the good fight and was not too happy to be having her pictures done.  She gave us little moments of sleep but was a very light sleeper and didn’t like to be moved around at all.  We still ended up with some sweet shots of her and even one with her big brothers.
