Meet Diana
Hello, I am Diana, the one in charge of preserving your memories. If you are looking for heartfelt and delicate photography, then look no further. I put my heart and soul into my photos and my portfolio says it all.
It might sound like a cliché, but photography is my forever passion. I bought my first camera back in 2012, when I was an Erasmus student in Spain. I wanted to document my journey as a foreign student, whilst chasing my career and my photography passion.
I’ve captured valuable memories with my first camera not only for myself, but also for my other colleagues I was sharing my experience with. Being the “group photographer”, gave me an impulse to follow my dream of becoming a photographer. I always thought this can be my “side hassle job”, alongside my career, the one that I was working hard for – becoming a lawyer.
In the meantime, my vision about my career changed, but once again, my photography dream stayed constant. I moved to the UK in 2014, with a desire to create my life as I envisioned it. Leaving my family and friends behind was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life. However, I knew that my sacrifice would pay off one day and I should continue to “dream big”.
I started to work in hospitality without any experience, and within 2 years and a half, I managed to work my way through into becoming a hotel manager for a wedding and events venue. Working alongside so many different suppliers and being in charge of some of the most beautiful weddings in Hampshire, ignited my desire to be on a different side of the event – being a photographer.
But yet again, life had different plans for me. Little did I know that I was about to become a mama to twin boys. Oh, what a rollercoaster motherhood is! Now I am a mum of three, my daughter joined our tribe when my sons were 4 years old, and becoming their mama was the most meaningful thing that ever happened to me. Motherhood is so complex.. is a relationship, a social construct, a full-time job and an identity.
Having children and wanting to be more around them, was my wake-up call to bring my photography dream to life and this is how Diana Studio was born. Alongside flexibility and being able to organize my own schedule, my dream was also to be able to preserve your memories in the most beautiful way possible.

I absolutely loved photographing my babies’ milestones, documenting their life from newborn to their first birthday, and so on. However, I was most of the time behind the camera and it took me a while to understand that I need to be part of my family photos as well. This is why I will always encourage you to be part of that photo, even though you might say “oh, I didn’t realise I’ll be in the photos too”. You don’t have to, but trust me, if you do, you will not regret.
The reality is, over the years, when you will look through photos, these are the moments you will appreciate the most – the ones where you hold your precious newborn, even if you’re tired from sleepless nights, the ones where you joined your baby on their first birthday photo, where their face is dirty from their cake, but their heart is full of happiness and love for you.
So dear mum, don’t be shy to show your beautiful bump this is a unique moment of your life, and you need to cherish your goddess body. You are life and you give life.
Dear dad, you must be in the photos too. Your daughter and son will love to see these memories where you hold them in your strong arms, where you make them “fly as an airplane”, or where you read them a story whilst they listen with so much interest. They might not remember all these beautiful moments because they’re too young, but they will see the photos, and this will reiterate your love for them.
I am beyond grateful for every family I meet, and I feel honoured every time you decide to book me for one of your life events. Either for an intimate wedding, a corporate party, an engagement shoot, a branding session or maybe you simply want to update your family photos.. I am here to guide you through, to document your life and achievements and to capture all kinds of love.
I look forward to meeting you all and to create magic together.
