The Girl Behind the Lens

I’m Dianne, a Sunnyvale-based photographer who specializes in catching real life before it runs out of the frame. My camera and I started out chasing landscapes and shooting creative portraits before I leveled up to the ultimate obstacle course: capturing massive live events with crowds of up to 2,000 people.

That wild mix of experience taught me one undeniable fact: the best photos happen when you aren't overthinking it. Today, I bring that diverse background to my three favorite things: candid family sessions, personality-driven portraits, and restaurant photography.

A chaotic kitchen or a sprinting kid won't even make me blink. I don't do forced smiles. I capture you, your family, or your food exactly as you are.

Whether you're dreading a headshot, chasing your kids around a park, or needing your menu to look as good online as it tastes, I've got it handled. Plus, my live-event training means I turn galleries around shockingly fast.
