REVIEWS

Diana is truly the most professional and creative photographer that our school has ever worked with. Her style of photography aligns with our school's philosophy, in that she takes the time to recognize the beauty and uniqueness in each individual child, as she photographs them. She will take as much time as they need to feel comfortable with her, which results in the most beautiful photos that capture each of their personalities. In the years that we have been working with Diana at our school, we have only had parents share their excitement and love of their child's photos. It is truly a pleasure to work with Diana Gran and we hope to continue to do so for many years to come!

After working with multiple photographers as a jewelry designer I could sincerely say that Diana as a portrait artist fulfilled all my expectations. From her professionalism to her talent every aspect of her service was top natch. She provides such an inviting atmosphere in her beautiful studio. The energy is just so positive and relaxing that helps to ease the whole process at the photo shoot. And the images are simply breathtaking. Thank you Diana. My dreams came true!
Asia Borycka
Diana is the ultimate professional. I have always been impressed by her photography portfolio, so I turned to her when I needed new headshots. We consulted on the goals for the shoot to make sure we'd get the right style. Her studio is comfortable and inviting with a variety of sets and impressive professional lighting. The on-site hair and make-up service was so convenient and helped me look my best. Throughout the fully guided photoshoot, Diana helped me with natural looking poses. She made me feel confident and beautiful. I am thrilled with the final photos, and found it to be 100% worth the investment. I highly recommend Diana!

I cannot recommend her enough!
