EXPERIENCE
Hey ya’ll!
I’m Diona.
dee-OH-nah like Fiona with a D.
I’m a photographer, author, wife, mom, and a Jesus-loving farm girl. Family means everything to me, and I’m deeply drawn to real moments – the loud ones, the tender ones and all the in betweens. While there’s absolutely a time and place for posing, my heart is in capturing life as it unfolds, photographing women and families just as they are. When I’m not behind the camera or writing, you’ll usually find me on the farm soaking up the beautifully human chaos of everyday life.

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!
