It has been a joy to photograph some of life’s most cherished memories for 19 years. Over the years I have photographed in all sorts of environments, and am confident working with both natural and artifical lighting. I’ve also had the privilege of working with all ages, from newborns to seniors. Without fail I treat every photoshoot with care and respect; from scouting locations, and giving posing prompts to capture the vibe and personalities in the best light, to hand editing the final images.

Clients call my ability to capture the best of the people I’m photographing ‘Rina Magic’, but truthfully, it’s as simple as being in the moment and enjoying letting my inner goofball have fun. Sometimes that’s running alongside an active kid, sometimes that’s laughing along with a senior.

As an award-winning international wedding photographer I’ve witnessed first-hand how celebrating a ‘big’ moment isn’t about the big. Instead, it’s about the small details and fleeting moments.

The birth of my beautiful daughter and the amazing adventure that is parenting made this even clearer. I captured ALL the moments in photos and videos. Yes, I became ‘that parent’. The one that takes SO many photos and videos. And then (over)shares them with loved ones.

My experience taught me that parents need to be IN the pictures too. After all, their moments are your memories.

It has been a joy to expand on my work by working with commercial clients and organisations, including Edmonton Public School Board (EPSB).
