Your headshot experience, designed just for you
From the moment you reach out, my focus is on you - your goals, your style, and how you want to be seen.
Every session is carefully planned with your unique needs in mind. Whether you're a professional refreshing your online presence or building a personal brand, we'll collaborate to create a session that feels effortless, intentional, and true to who you are.
With personalized guidance and plenty of support along the way, I'll help you feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera.
I've always believed that clothing is a powerful extension of your personality. Choosing what to wear for your headshot session can take some serious thought. These images are more than just pretty pictures - they're a reflection of your professional identity.
For personal branding or lifestyle headshots, stick with pieces that feel like you. Authenticity always photographs best.
For more corporate or business style headshots, wear what you would typically wear to work. Choose clothing in a medium shade color. No prints, dots, or striped. Details matter. Accessorize carefully.
I pride myself on making clients feel comfortable in front of the camera. Whether in studio or on location in one of Orange County's beautiful parks or beaches, sessions are fun and relaxed. I will gently guide you into the most flattering poses. Everyone has uniquely flattering angles and I will guide you into those poses.

2. Plan your session
After your initial phone call, we will meet to plan your session. When you book with us, we always begin with the end in mind. We’ll talk about what you envision for your session and we’ll design your session to complement your style and colors. The type of session and locations for your session will be discussed.
3. book your session
After you have decided on a date and a location, I will send you a contract to sign and an invoice to secure your session. When those items are completed, you are officially booked! I take a limited number of sessions each month, so it is best to book early.
I will send you a "What to Wear" guide and check out my blog ,"What to Wear to a Family Photo Session". We will go over your wardrobe choices
before the session. It is not complicated!

The big day has arrived! Your family session will be relaxed and comfortable. I will guide you into relaxed, comfortable poses so you won't wonder what to do.

5. Enjoy your beautiful images!
Within two weeks of your session, we will hold a reveal session where final decisions will be made. We will help you sort through the images and decide what would look best in your home. We offer archival quality prints, exquisite wall art, custom heirloom albums, gifts and so much more.
The final edited images and products will be ready about three weeks after your purchase.
No need to pick up your products, they will arrive at your home.

I was referred to Diane through a friend of a friend to do my newborn son’s photos. I was very thrilled with how quickly she responded from the very start and how communicative she was and that she checked in with me (preggo & mom brain made me very forgetful). I contacted her while I was still pregnant and then after I had my baby to set up his photo shoot and she was so helpful with giving information and answering all my questions. We decided to do our session in home because that was easier with a new baby. She came with so many options for props and backgrounds! It was so wonderful. She was patient with my baby and with me which was helpful especially when my baby ended up being fussy. She then came back over a few days later to look through the photos with me and to look through packages. I would highly recommend her! - Lauren

My family and I loved working with Diane. She took such outstanding photos of my newborn that we went back months later for our Christmas card photo as well. Diane was very professional and I appreciated how quickly she gave me our photos. I would highly recommend her for your family. CB

Diane is artistic and captures amazing shots. We are so incredibly pleased with the photos that Diane took of our newborn baby girl. Diane went beyond our expectations - we were not expecting all the different poses and options, and we're delighted with the results. We always felt she was mindful of our baby's comfort and safety as well. Diane is warm and friendly and easy to get along with; she is clearly a photographer because she delight in capturing important moments artistically. Sheilagh

We absolutely love our newborn photos! Diane was extremely professional, kind, and patient with us during our newborn session. We had an in home session. We took posed newborn photos with the props, wraps, and headbands Diane brought., and we also took family photos in the nursery and room. We got so many great shots! As a new mom, I was nervous about a newborn session. You just don't know how the baby is going to be. But Diane put us at ease, she was so patient with us and our baby. She allowed us time to breastfeed and was so good at calming our newborn girl. She worked really quick to pose and get great shots. Thank you Diane! We are so grateful! I highly recommend using Diane to capture this precious time!
Diane put us at ease; she was so patient with us and our baby.

I had a great experience with Diane. She was very accommodating with dates and took a ton of photos. I also loved that she came with a changing booth at the beach and accessories which really enhanced the overall look. Looking forward to the newborn session.
