FROM CLIENT TO PLAYBOY BUNNY
When German Playboy asked me to photograph a cover for their 50th-anniversary issue, I said yes immediately. I knew I wanted to photograph a YOU BY DIANA client.
I reviewed my previous clients who had signed a model release and called Annalisa back for a Playboy session. Annalisa became a Playboy model overnight. How fun!
Here’s what Annalisa said about her experience:
“Working with Diana was sensational! I’m many things (activist, yogini, philosopher, animal mom, plant lover), but I’m not a professional model. I’ve already had a boudoir session with Diana, and I was thrilled when she asked me to model for a Playboy cover.”
“What a fantastic opportunity! Our shoot was so playful and empowering, and I am simply elated to be included in this issue. Happy 50th birthday, Playboy!”
“Diana made me feel beautiful for the first time in my entire 73 years.”
“We are all beautiful. Just be who you are.”
“You do a great job of showing our personalities and the things that we find fun. This is a great opportunity to express who you are.”

Don’t settle for just any photographer.
YOU DESERVE IT ALL
I’ve had the honor of working with famous faces like Kesha and Katy Perry and for magazines like Playboy, Vogue, Elle, GQ, Esquire, and many more.
You may not know this, but celebrities only work with photographers that they 100% trust to make them feel empowered, confident, and badass. But this empowering feeling shouldn’t be reserved for only celebrities.
I WANT TO DO THIS FOR YOU!
You deserve a photographer that is trusted by countless brands & celebrities. Book your boudoir session with me today and experience a luxurious portrait session!
TESTIMONIALS
Love Notes
“Diana is an amazing person to work with.”
“During the session I got in tune with internal vixen, and I felt like I could express myself in a way I hadn’t been able to before. I felt super natural and at ease the whole time. She is so easy to hang out with and easygoing.
And the end result photos are stunning!”
— Mary
“The entire experience has been dreamy and empowering.”
“The black & white photographs are not only caught with a creative, distinguished eye, but the wide range of tones create a depth that’s true-to-life and palpable.
Working with Diana is a fun, freeing experience and she helped me feel safe and authentic.”
— Amanda
“Diana is both professional and personable.”
“She has a way of drawing you out of your shell, finding what makes you shine, then capturing the magic as it happens, with results you never would have imagined from yourself.
It’s not just a product or service, it’s an experience.”
— Jess
“This session was a beautiful journey for me, as I continue to grow into loving my body & mind.”
“I’m so glad I didn’t wait.”
“I'm so glad I did that. I'm so glad I didn't wait. I told myself I was going to lose weight for this, but I didn't.”

THE TRANSFORMATION
If you ever think: "These individuals are stunning, they must be models!" - then you're mistaken.
THESE ARE 100%, EVERYDAY INDIVIDUALS. THEY ARE PARTNERS, PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS, AND SO MUCH MORE!
These resilient individuals are your local nurses, lawyers, doctors, teachers, etc.; they are the strangers you encounter in a supermarket or pass by while holding a cup of coffee. They are everyday individuals who have chosen to pamper themselves with much more than just a manicure or a makeover.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
-
My style is a high-class version of boudoir photography. Think of a multiple-course dinner in a three Michelin stars restaurant vs. a happy meal at a fast food chain. Or a cool, laid-back, five-star hotel vs. of a random motel on the highway. Don’t get me wrong, though, I love shooting amazing portraits in rundown motels ;-)
I’m talking about the quality of my service and the resulting photographs of YOU. At the same time, I’m definitely not up my own ass like many high-class restaurants. Ha! On the contrary. You will see!
My photographs celebrate the personality of each woman through sexy, intimate portraits. You are unique, and you deserve to be portrayed as such. You are an original, and images of you should reflect that. My style is modern, artful—and also fun, and sexy!
-
Yes. Confidentiality is paramount. I would never use your image without your permission. If, on the other hand, you embrace the possibility of seeing your images published, do let me know, and I will provide a model release for you to sign—though I cannot guarantee that your images will be used.
-
Don’t worry about poses! I will tell you exactly what to do and how to position yourself, so it looks good on camera. I’m getting into the poses myself to show you, and you can mirror me. And then there are always small adjustments. It will be fun! It is my job to pose you and create amazing photographs of you.
-
Your reveal & ordering session will be set within three weeks of your photo session. I will present your entire collection of around 80-150 images. I will assist you in making your final image choices and deciding on products.
Most of my clients opt for an album, wall art, and a mini accordion booklet to take with them everywhere. Please inquire about a specific product if you have something in mind that you don’t see on our list.
-
We professionally retouch pimples, bruises, scratches, and everything non-permanent that would disappear within a few weeks.
Permanent marks like scars and stretch marks tell a story and it is not up to me to decide whether you want to see that story. Please let me know if you would like anything permanent removed.
-
While I love the aesthetics of black & white, but I will photograph in color if you request it.
-
You can absolutely be nude! And you certainly do not have to be. How much skin you show is totally up to you. What I suggest for most women is doing both nude and semi-clothed.
-
I have a background of 20-plus years as a respected international fashion and advertising photographer, as well as shooting private clients. This means that I bring an uncommon level of expertise, vision, and quality to intimate portraiture.
What’s more, my shoots are fun and always have been. I have always enjoyed connecting with my subjects, and the connection shows in my photographs.
-
Now is perfect. A session now will be a record of your amazing self at this particular time of your life. We are ever-changing creatures.
How sad it is that, as women in this culture, we are constantly being told that we are just not quite there yet. Our beauty is tantalizingly just out of reach—if we would just buy this, smooth that, cover the other thing.
But these are lies! You are already perfect. And that’s why now is just right. You will feel empowered during your session, and every time you look at your photos. So why not allow yourself an extra boost of confidence?
-
After your reveal & ordering session, it will take up to two months for you to receive your products.
-
After booking, we will talk and you will get a link to everything you need to know about preparation for our session.
