Diana is a portrait and lifestyle photographer based in Edmonton and a proud graduate of MacEwan University. Originally from Kazakhstan, she moved to Canada in her late twenties and quickly became captivated by the rich multicultural atmosphere of her new home.
Drawing inspiration from human experiences and the beauty of nature, Diana’s work focuses on candid and abstract imagery, reflecting life’s raw, authentic moments. Through her lens, she blends storytelling with artistry, creating photographs that resonate with emotion and meaning.
A couple of years ago, I was diagnosed with a genetic disorder that affects my mobility. Devastated, I made the difficult decision to step away from photography—a craft I had poured my heart into. My last wedding was for a dear friend, Jenna, who always believed in me and inspired me in countless ways. Tragically, she passed a year later, but before she left, she gave me a framed quote: “You are stronger than you think.”
Looking back at the images from her wedding and the joy we shared that day, I realized how precious those captured moments are. They remind me of love, laughter, and strength. In that reflection, I found my purpose again—I knew I wanted to keep giving others the gift of preserving their most cherished memories.
Photography is more than a job for me—it’s a way to connect, celebrate life, and prove that no disorder can define who I am. Every session I do is filled with heart, and I feel honored to document the love and beauty in people’s lives.
I can’t wait to help you capture your special moments. 💛
