Transcona Photographer
Family, pet and engagement photography close to home for East Winnipeg — the Transcona Trail, Kernaghan Nature Park and Oxbow Bend.
Photography in Transcona
For families on the east side of the city, staying in Transcona means less driving and more time actually shooting. The Transcona Trail and Kernaghan Nature Park give you prairie grass, an oxbow lake and big open sky within minutes of Regent Avenue.
Favourite Transcona photo spots
- Kernaghan Nature Park & Oxbow Bend. An oxbow of the Red River ringed with tall grass and cottonwoods — golden at sunset.
- The Transcona Trail. A long rail-trail with clean sight lines for leading-line and walking shots.
- Rotary Heritage Park. A tidy green space with mature trees, good for quick family sessions.
- Historic Regent Avenue & the Transcona Museum. Brick storefronts and railway heritage for an urban, nostalgic backdrop.
Sessions that suit Transcona
Transcona suits family photography, pet sessions and engagements, particularly at golden hour on the prairie.
Planning your session
The nature park has almost no shade, so the hour after sunrise or before sunset is essential in summer. Grass is tallest and greenest in late June and July.

Transcona photography — questions
Do you charge extra to come to Transcona?

Where is the best spot in Transcona for family photos?
Kernaghan Nature Park at Oxbow Bend for open prairie light, or Rotary Heritage Park if you want shade and an easy walk.
