As years go by, these moments become fewer and farther in-between. Don’t miss the opportunity before it’s gone. You will have many stories to share with your children as they grow older. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/535828b2e4b07ec2da38ea78/1528522639043-TSVNK516UNQX55KJQNDV/family_outing.jpg Welcome - Get in the Frame As a parent myself, I get it. You’re never in the photos because you’re always the one taking them. But you try! You take selfies. And sure, that’s better than nothing but it doesn’t show how you connect with your children in your daily life. Who’s capturing you in those moments? Your presence in photos is important. It shows how much you were there in the action, through good times and bad. So get in the frame. Be in the photographs. When your children look back at them, they will feel your love all over again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/535828b2e4b07ec2da38ea78/1528522766404-NL7E7L0KKH9C8H74QLIU/bedtime_routine.jpg Welcome - Embrace it all Life is not perfect. When the truth is captured and reviewed in retrospect, the unfiltered view of life is always more interesting. So let go. Stop fighting the natural rhythms of life. It's what makes us human and I think it's beautiful when we fully embrace it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/535828b2e4b07ec2da38ea78/1528524884566-GJ5XQRRVZ4MJ37R8V47W/father_and_son.jpg Welcome - 1. What to Expect All family sessions are captured with a documentary approach. There is no posing, staging or directing. As you go about your life, I simply tag along and document it, free of judgement. My goal is not to shoot for the best instagram posts but to preserve moments that are important for you and your family to have in the future. Moments that tell your family story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/535828b2e4b07ec2da38ea78/1528356453942-0J7QBPU4GIH842L97BIE/family_portrait.jpg Welcome - 3. Where & When Most sessions are booked on the weekends. My favorite are those that include some time inside and outside of the home. Rain or shine, it's on. I'm able to shoot in most public places as long as photography is not prohibited. For stay-at-home parents looking to document a portion of their day with their toddlers, I’m available to do mini sessions on Thursday and Fridays between 10am - 2pm. For more details, check out session info. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/535828b2e4b07ec2da38ea78/1528525567032-LXEFQAE3YEGI7PW2O05Y/snack_prep.jpg Welcome - 2. How it's Done Before I show up at your door, we'll chat over the phone to go over any questions you may have. I’ll get to know a little bit about your awesome family. Knowing these details will help me understand what's most important to you. I like leaving the rest of the getting to know on the day of the session. It will feel more like hanging out with a family friend who happens to have a camera :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/535828b2e4b07ec2da38ea78/1528181070682-00MJ2UZBU5NDIOVPMRNZ/_H0A8691.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/535828b2e4b07ec2da38ea78/1527267241442-KH2W6E13QCIGOX75T0KE/_H0A8449.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/535828b2e4b07ec2da38ea78/1602275742044-YIKORT7YKUJAGQX4ZE3X/_H0A7819.jpg Welcome https://www.dianamahphotography.com/meet-diana daily 0.75 2020-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/535828b2e4b07ec2da38ea78/1530163854503-8SD1HCXDV45UJOMATLJ4/About_Diana_Photo_by_FeliciaChang.jpg Meet Diana - I'm a mother to two lovely goofballs (5yrs and 2yrs) who fully embraces the documentary approach to family photography. I believe everyday moments are "photo-worthy" as they reveal so much about who we are in this moment and what makes up the blue print of a family- far beyond any family portrait can do. I see beauty in real life, non-directed, non-staged. It's honest, candid, fleeting and beautifully vulnerable. Parent struggles, toddler tantrums and the ones that bring you to tears. These are the moments that paint the picture of a family's true story. When I'm not photographing other families or my own, I'm probably eating the crusts off my daughter's grilled cheese sandwich or picking another booger from my two-year old's nose. If we're not searching for a treat to satisfy our sweet tooth, you might find us in the courtyard, looking at all sorts of interesting bugs. Near the end of the day, I'm likely trying to find some inner calm at the nearest hot yoga studio or swimming laps at the Canada Games Pool. In my other free time, I enjoy connecting with other artists and photographers in the community when I can...but if I'm not doing that, I'm probably making a late-night run to the grocery store because we're out of milk!

Hi there! I’m Diana, how are you? Let’s take a moment to honor your role as a parent. It’s the most rewarding job you’ll ever have. How do I know? Because I’m a mom too! If there is an opportunity for us to work together, I’m sure we can exchange some good stories! Lol. I live in New Westminster, BC with my husband and our two favorite little humans who are 7 and 4. When I became a mom, life seemed to whirl by with a little one in the house. But it wasn’t until after my second child was born that I realized how important it was to make records of life that would allow us to remember who we were, how we lived and how we felt in real moments. That’s when I began shooting my own family with a documentary approach. Snapping moments of life, as it is. The candid approach has always been my natural style but I realized how I was barely in any of the photos. Through the past years of connecting with other moms, I also realized how many of them feel under represented in photos because they are usually the ones taking them. This was what shifted my focus in photography because I want to help parents who understand the importance of getting in the frame in a candid approach. I know you’re out there! Have questions?
