Hi, I’m Diana — a family, maternity, and milestone photographer based in Petaluma, serving Sonoma County and surrounding areas.

​

I believe the most meaningful photos come from moments that feel easy and real. My work is rooted in connection, natural light, and creating a calm experience so you don’t feel like you’re “performing” for the camera.

​

Whether we’re photographing your family at golden hour or spending a relaxed morning in your home, my goal is simple: to help you feel comfortable, present, and truly yourselves.

​

My Approach

I take a gentle, guided approach — offering just enough direction so you never feel awkward, while leaving plenty of room for natural interaction.

​

You don’t need to know how to pose.
You don’t need “perfect” kids.
You don’t need to stress.

​

I’ll help with location, timing, and styling so everything feels thoughtful but never forced. Sessions are designed to feel more like time together than a photoshoot — especially for families with young kids.

​

Why I Love This Work

I’m drawn to the in-between moments — the quiet glances, the laughter, the way your baby fits perfectly in your arms right now.

These seasons move quickly, often before we realize it.

 

Photography gives us a way to slow down and remember what this chapter actually felt like — not just how it looked.

​

That’s what I want to give you: images that feel honest, warm, and timeless — ones you’ll come back to again and again.

​

A Little More About Me

When I’m not photographing families, you can usually find me enjoying slow mornings, chasing good light, and appreciating the simple beauty in everyday life. I value connection, calm spaces, and meaningful work — and I bring all of that into how I photograph and how I work with families.

​

Is This the Right Fit?

You might be a great fit if you’re looking for:

  • Natural, relaxed photography

  • A photographer who values connection over perfection

  • An easy, thoughtful experience from start to finish

  • Images that feel timeless and true to your family

If that sounds like you, I’d love to work together.
