dee-OH-nə /diˈoʊnə/
I was born and raised in Southeastern Georgia and, yes, I’m a loud! At 18 I moved to California where I lived for three years.
The change of scenery and the feeling of living in an entirely different world while there helped mold me into a better artist as well as a person.
I am a wife and mother. I love anything creative and artsy, essential oils, Starbucks, hot tea, going to the zoo, being at the beach, mermaids, visiting Disney, traveling (any and everywhere), and having lengthy conversations. I like to talk, a lot!
I have been running my photography business for over ten years, though under a few different names. After getting married and moving to Jax, my husband and I merged our two businesses to create DCWilliams Photography, LLC, that was in 2010. In 2018 I rebranded to do business as Diona Reneè & Co since it’s more just me nowadays and I do much more than photography!
