Light, Love and Laughter.


So much of that beautiful joy during our maternity photo session in Petaluma, CA. I had the honor of photographing this soon-to-be family of four in one of my favorite locations in Sonoma County. They were just so sweet with each other and their connection was so natural. They loved cuddling their little guy, and their son loved to hug and give kisses to the baby girl in mama’s belly. I could tell that he was excited to become a big brother, and that this was the start of a beautiful friendship.


The evening was beautiful! A soft breeze in the air, the golden sun shining down lovingly on this family. I love how the light just kissed mama as she was looking out into the sunset.

I’m so excited for this family and I can’t wait to photograph their newborn baby girl in a few short weeks! If you or someone you love deserves the gift of photos, especially during such an amazing and fleeting time, email me at info@dianajex.com to set up a session!
