WORK WITH ME
I was born and raised in Michigan, and I’m happy to say that the midwestern politeness will never leave me. After visiting San Diego as a child, I fell in love with the city — I had big dreams to move out there as an adult one day & spoiler alert – I did! After working in marketing/social media, under multiple photographers as their second shooter, and as lead photographer for an awesome production company, I realized I had everything I needed to start my own business. Passion. Drive. A desire to make people feel good and comfortable in their own skin through visual imagery. I started my business in 2018, mainly photographing graduates for their senior portraits, and then opportunities began to unravel for me to work with small businesses, restaurants, and brands. As a lifestyle photographer, I thrive on creating images that speak to the essence of a brand, a person, or a product. Working with small businesses is especially rewarding, as it lets me help them tell their unique stories and elevate their businesses through beautiful imagery. Working with my clients isn't just about taking their picture; it's about understanding their vision and dreams, and translating them into timeless images.

"Diana is such a dream to work with. She has captured some of my life’s most important moments including college graduation, family photos and my engagement beautifully. She understands how to help with posing while still capturing moments that are completely natural. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and 100% would recommend her to anyone!"

"I got extremely lucky to find Diana, as it has been an absolute pleasure working with and getting to know her! Diana's genuineness, authenticity, attention to detail, and thorough approach to photography are what set her apart. As a social media manager for five operational venues, Diana has made each one of them shine. From conceptualization to post-shoot, Diana is organized and receptive to the exact vibe I need from each specific shoot we do. "
Monty, Belmont Park
"I've had the pleasure of working with Diana since 2021 on a variety of photoshoots from restaurant, hotel, lifestyle and CPG. She knocks it out of the park every time, from swift coordination and planning to bringing our inspired shot lists to life! Not only is she a fantastic photographer, but also amazing with general directing, model assisting and styling touches."
