Brilliant. I don't typically love photos of myself but I LOVE the photos that came out of our family photoshoot. Her direction was very comfortable to follow, and we had a great time during the photoshoot. She even managed to get some awesome photos of our daughter even though she was super grumpy and tired. 100% recommend her as a photographer. read more

Thank you Diana for helping us capture the newborn moments in the comfort of our homes! If you want someone who's easy to contact, responsive and has an awesome photography style then Diana is your woman. She's super friendly and calming during the shoot. Love the photos we recently got of our newborn son and fam. Our house is not those picture perfect homes but she made it work and we love our photos! Her turn around time is also reasonably quick so you don't have to wait for too long. Would definitely recommend and hopefully get other sessions in the future! read more

Diana Jex Photography - Session Photography Near Me - Petaluma, California

I highly recommend Diana for any of your family photography needs. Coming from a photography and art direction background, I am both particular and diligent when researching photographers. Finding Diana was an absolute win. I had decided against a newborn photoshoot but as my baby quickly approached 6-months I started to deeply regret that choice. I reached out to Diana explaining what I was looking for, which didn't fit perfectly into a package of hers at the time, and she was enthusiastic about trying something new. She is not only talented but warm and inviting, which made the entire experience such a joy. She even managed to capture our family dynamics as if she'd known us for years. We will cherish the photos for the rest of our lives and look forward to having her capture more memories for us. read more

Diana is an amazing photographer I'd highly recommend! She has photographed our family twice now, maternity and family with toddler. They turned out absolutely beautiful, everything I wanted and more both times! Our toddler wasn't the easiest to work with, you would have no idea by the photos. We have got so many compliments on them. I truly cherish having these moments captured. Thank you Diana! read more

She was amazing! The whole booking process was fast, she answered all my questions and suggested me the best place to take my maternity pictures. The pictures are amazing! She helped us with the poses and with everything. We definitely recommend her I can't post all of them but here are 6 of all my favorites read more

We just moved to Sonoma county and I had been looking for a photographer to take our family photos while my daughter is still an infant. I found Diana on yelp, and instantly loved her style. Her Instagram blew me away. She was very personable though the whole experience. Diana helped us choose the right colored outfits that would go well with the perfect location. She was very quick to respond with any questions or concerns I had. The evening of the actual shoot, she took care of us, providing anything we needed to stay comfortable, including a warm blanket for my baby (it was a lot chillier than we expected) The shoot was so much fun and Diana gave great direction. We just received our photos and they are more stunning than I expected. We also received a video that chokes me up every time I watch it. Diana is amazing at what she does, and I highly recommend her as your family photographer. (Her maternity shoots are breath taking) read more

We loved working with Diana for our newborn/family photo shoot! She is so talented and has a wonderful eye and aesthetic.

She helped pick and style my whole family. I had a tough time finding the perfect dress (I tried on at least 40) and she recommended the place and even the dress I ended up choosing, let me tell you, I felt beautiful and confident on that day. She is so calm and peaceful, you can even sense it through her text messages! Diana will be our family photographer from now until forever and if you want the best, you would do the same. Thank you again Diana, I'm in love with our pictures. read more

We cannot thank Diana enough for the incredible maternity photography she captured during this special time in our lives. She captured our love and the beauty that surrounds us so well! Both before our session and during, Diana was so helpful and patient with us to ensure we received exactly what we were hoping for. She also made us feel so comfortable in front of her camera. We have shared images with friends and family who love the photos as well and hope to book with her soon for their families too! We can't wait for our newborn session! Could not recommend her more!!! read more

Diana was great to work with from scheduling a session, to choosing a location and helping us to achieve natural looking family photos.

Our family did a mini session with Diana - my oldest son was 3 and youngest was 11 months and I was a little nervous that the kids wouldn't cooperate - especially my oldest. When we got there Diana immediately started talking to my oldest son and I could tell he warmed up to her. She was fun and playful and got some amazing shots of our family - especially him! My son will occasionally ask about her and talk about the "lady with the kitty" (She had a Hello Kitty Pez Dispenser that was her "assistant" that he loved). She clearly made an impression on him. We are definitely going to be doing more family photo sessions with her - she created such beautiful images of our family and had the best recommendations for where we could have the sessions. I highly recommend Diana if you are looking for a solid family photographer. read more

Diana is such a gifted photographer! I love her candid style and the warmth of her photos. I looked at a lot of portfolios of local photographers and none of them compared to Diana's work, in my point of view. She does such gorgeous work! We will value our family images forever. read more

Diana did a fantastic job capturing our newborn photos! She made the whole process so easy, even for being home with a brand new baby. She came to our home and told us exactly what to do. She came prepared with all the cute swaddles, bows and props too! The photos turned out better than we expected! I'm so glad that we had her capture these moments for us. We highly recommend her, and will definitely be using her for any family photos in the future. read more

My husband Chris and I had such a wonderful experience during our maternity session with Diana, and we so look forward to newborn/family photos with her in the next couple months as we prepare to welcome our first baby in a few weeks. Diana is so lovely and down-to-earth, and our session with her was so natural. Diana's artistry and aesthetic are second-to-none, and I am so in awe of how beautiful our maternity photos turned out, thanks to her. We cannot recommend Diana more highly, and we hope to have her photograph our growing family for years to come! read more

The images we got from our family photo session are gorgeous and Diana was great to work with.

We love Diana! Some of our favorite moments were captured with Diana! She did our daughter's 6 month photos and also our one year photos. She chooses amazing outdoor backdrops and uses the natural light beautifully. We did one session in a lavender field and the other at a local Petaluma park. She is also a mom and is extremely personable. I am looking forward to more family photos with Diana Jex Photography. read more

I've never hired a professional photographer before and so I was nervous about who to go with. After reviewing the reviews on yelp and scrolling through her IG account I scheduled for a personal session. I was very pleased with the outcome so much so that I hired her again for a family session. I had family coming from all over to attend BottleRock Napa...I mention this because we didn't have our family photo session until after partying all weekend. As exhausted and as tired as we were we thought for sure that the pictures will not work out but somehow Diana magically captured all the right moments. She is truly a treasure and such a pleasure to work with. From the heart, thank you for the precious priceless pictures of my family! read more

Diana is an amazing photographer. I highly recommend her. She has an amazing eye with the ability to capture your most tender moments.

Diana was so sweet, incredibly patient with our 2 young kids, and very professional! She was also very helpful when asked for recommendations on location and selecting coordinating outfits. I wasn't sure what colors would look good in our pictures and Diana was really great at recommending color palettes and gave links to dresses she thought would photograph well. We absolutely love our family photos and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for family photo sessions! read more

Diana shot our elopement/quarantine wedding this month. Her photography is gorgeous! She captured precious moments that I didn't even realize happened. She was very accommodating and arrived early at our ceremony location which made me feel at ease. Photography is super important to us and I highly recommend her to shoot more weddings! Thank you! read more

We wanted some family portraits other than our own iPhoto selfies but didn't want to spend a fortune. We heard about Diana's mini-session and thought it was perfect. She was amazing in her suggested poses, background choices, photography knowledge, professionalism and ease of demeanor. All the photos turned out awesome!! Even our hard to impress girls are happy!! read more

Diana was fantastic!!! We did a photo shoot with our whole extended family (young children, grandparents, aunts and uncles), and she navigated it beautifully. We were anxious about the process, as we'd never done anything of the kind, but she was calm, reassuring, and helped us each step of the way. She was also terrific with our daughters (one of whom was in a very cranky mood), and made everyone feel comfortable. The photos themselves are beautiful, capturing everything we were hoping for, and allowing each individual's personality to shine. We would recommend her to anyone! read more

Diana was fantastic to work with!!! We did a family photo session with her and I did a portrait session for my business. I'm so incredibly happy with both. We have a one year old and a dog and she did wonderful with both. We got some amazing pictures of the entire family plus our pup, I am so so so happy we went with Diana and will definitely be doing so in the future. read more

Diana photographed our son within his first week of birth. We were amazed with the results. As a tired mom of three still in the daze of the first week with a new baby, she made the process extremely easy for me! She came to our apartment, brought the props, and worked with items we had to capture amazing shots. We live in a small space and I was nervous about how she'd find space in our three room apartment, but she made it work beyond anything I expected. I appreciated not having to travel anywhere with the new baby. She was amazing with our son as well. At the start of the shoot, he didn't want to stay asleep but she did a fantastic job settling and soothing him... staying patient throughout the entire shoot. I loved all the different positions and expressions she was able to capture of him. We were widely impressed with the final shots and will treasure them for years to come! read more

Diana is an all-around amazing photographer. With a family of 6, I was just hoping for ONE good shot of us. She somehow has the ability to turn the whole session into a big game, joking with all the kids to get them to smile and truly capturing the unique personality and quirk of each kid. I loved all the photos so much I bought the entire gallery. I really couldn't choose just a couple favorites. On the professional side, she provided props, had thoroughly scouted the location to get several backdrops and kept us moving and on time without ever feeling pressured, and her turnaround time on editing was so much faster than I expected. Can't say enough about how talented, professional, and kind she is, and will definitely be booking her in the future. read more

Best experience we've had with a photographer. Diana has patience and a way to make everyone feel comfortable. She captures not only beauty but everyones personality. We are beyond grateful for her abilities as a photographer and will treasure these photographs for a lifetime. read more

I highly recommend Diana Jex Photography! read more

Diana did our maternity and newborn photos and we are absolutely in love with them all. She is very easy to work with and so sweet. Neither my husband or I love having our photos taken but she made us feel so comfortable and was able to capture some really amazing shots. She was so incredibly generous to us and went out of her way to make sure we were able to get newborn photos taken after we lost our house in the Oct fires. We will cherish these photos forever and are so happy to have her for all of our upcoming family photos. read more

I have so many positives to share! We worked with Diana for a maternity/family photo shoot. Firstly, Diana is professional and responsive. We were able to set up our session easily and the price was perfect. Secondly, she is very sweet and down-to-earth. If you're nervous about posing, she will help you through it. And then, most importantly, we walked away with so many beautiful photos. I expected to like at least 5 to make the session worthwhile, but I loved each one! And her turn-around time in getting them to us was super quick. Highly recommend! read more

I contacted Diana very last minute to take family photos following my daughter's graduation. She was super responsive, easy to work with and took fantastic photos. I would strongly recommend her. read more

Let me start out by saying we LOVE Diana! We have done a newborn home photo shoot and two mini sessions with her. All three times she was incredibly patient and kind. My 3 yo was in quite a mood both times and I was convinced that there was no way she got any good shots because he was such a pill that day and to my surprise she took magical shots of our little family! She is responsive and gets your photos back to you super fast. We will be using her every year for our family photos! read more
