I’m Diana, a Treasure Valley newborn and family photographer, homeschool mama of five (one in heaven), and wife to my best friend of sixteen years.
Before anything else, my faith and my family shape everything I do... how I love people, how I show up for my kids, and how I approach photography.I genuinely love being a wife and a mama first. Photography comes next.
Okay... I know this will sound cheesy but photography has always been part of my story. As a little girl, I was the one noticing composition... how the light hit a face, how a moment felt, how something ordinary could be quietly beautiful if you paid attention. I didn’t have fancy language for it back then. I just knew I loved freezing moments and making them mean something.
I love relaxed, connection-focused sessions that feel natural and enjoyable... yes, even for dads who don’t love photos. I guide gently, work in a variety of lighting situations, and create images that are timeless, meaningful, and personal.
I also love BBC Masterpiece classics, Fixer Upper reruns, The Office quotes that live rent-free in my head, a homeschool schedule that looks a little chaotic but somehow works, and random kitchen dance parties with my kids that start for no reason and end in laughter.
The other 40% usually requires coffee.
He says I’m a high-functioning introvert. He’s… not wrong.
and random kitchen dance parties that start for no reason and end in laughter.
My days run on love, logistics, and a whole lot of snacks.
Even the loud, messy, wildly imperfect ones.
I know what it’s like to put off photos until life feels calmer, cleaner, or more put together. To wait for better behavior, more energy, or a season that feels easier.
But I’ve learned... both as a mom and through loss... that later isn’t always promised. That’s why my sessions are designed to feel relaxed, flexible, and rooted in real life.
No pressure to perform. No expectations for perfection.
I’ll guide you when it’s helpful, step back when it’s not, and make space for genuine connection to unfold naturally. Some of the most meaningful moments happen in between ... and those are often the ones you’ll treasure most.
