EXPERIENCE
Hey ya’ll, welcome!
I’m Diona,
your photographer, hype-woman, & new best friend.
I’m thrilled that you’ve discovered my corner of the internet. With over twenty years of experience, I’ve dedicated myself to crafting stories that revolve around life’s intimate moments. Spontaneous adventures inspire me greatly, and I strive to capture that wanderlust-filled, carefree vibe in my photography. Simplicity is key, as I aim to create amazing images that evoke pure joy and wonder. When I’m not capturing moments behind the camera, you’ll likely find me on my farm, embracing the delightful chaos of raising chickens, & rabbits. My loyal Chihuahua companion, Ranger always at my heels.
Outside of farm life, I’m an enthusiastic traveler. Nature serves as my muse, constantly changing and offering serene landscapes that fuel my artistic vision. Whether it’s the crashing waves of the ocean or the majestic peaks of mountains, these adventures inspire me deeply. With God as my foundation, fueled by unwavering passion, and accompanied by the energizing elixir of coffee, I am ready to document and celebrate life’s beautiful moments. Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I’m excited to capture the essence of your cherished moments along the way.

Diona is a god send!
Our wedding photos turned out absolutely magical and she could not have been easier to work with! She captured every special moment that I was hoping for, even with my fussy toddler adding to the challenges. I’ll hold on to these photos and memories forever and will always be grateful that she shared her artistry with us!
