Client Reviews:

Dianna goes above and beyond! She was so patient with our newborn to make sure she captured the perfect shots of him. We are so thankful to have these memories of him

Alissa S. -- Grand Ledge, Mi. 
Dianna was great to work with! She has a wonderful sense of humor to help things go smoothly. While shooting, she explained what and why she was doing different lights/poses. I had a stroke before our shoot and she took caution to make sure it wasn't overwhelming. The results were amazing and we got them back super fast! Highly recommend her!

"My son hates to have his pictures taken, so the thought of having his senior portraits taken had me worried and nervous. After speaking to Dianna, I knew that she was the photographer for us! Her "No fake smiles" policy won me over immediately. My son has the worst fake smiles in pictures and I was afraid that all his senior portraits would have that horrible fake smile. During the session, Dianna did everything she could to capture his natural smile which I haven't seen in a portrait since he was little boy. Dianna made us feel very comfortable during the session and my son even said later that it was kind of fun. The pictures Dianna took were absolutely fantastic and we could not be happier. We were able to mix and match sizes of portraits that we needed instead of being stuck with sizes that we did not want or paying a very high a la carte price. Dianna uploaded the photos to her site for us to review. This made it very easy to have family look at the pictures and decide which ones they wanted. Ordering was easy and the portraits came quickly and look absolutely fantastic. I can not thank Dianna enough for taking such beautiful pictures of my son."

Dianna has done the senior photos for all three of our boys over the last four years. She's a pleasure to work with and does excellent work.

"We'd been wanting to do a family portrait for awhile, and when we learned that Dianna was looking for a family to do a session at a local apple orchard, we jumped at the chance. Dianna is awesome to work with - she's fun, creative, easy going, great with kids and completely open to ideas. She did a great mix of posed and journalistic-style photos (my favorites), and we absolutely love the final results of our photo shoot. In one hour, Dianna was able to capture the true essence of our family in images that will be cherished for a lifetime."

Laura W. --  Grand Ledge, Mi.
"I'm so thankful for the free session I won from Dianna's raffle!!! We had so much fun. She was very patient with my one year old. We had a great time doing a smash cake! I loved all the props Dianna brought to go with the ones I also brought! I thought the location Dianna chose was perfect! I'm looking forward to another session with baby #2!!!"

April P. -- East Lansing, Mi.
"We've hesitated to take family pictures with our girls because we have struggled before to get pictures where everyone is smiling. Dianna was very patient with our kids. When we weren't pleased with our family picture because our kids would not look at the camera all together, Dianna redid the photo shoot and brought fun toys to keep the girls smiling. The end result.....sweet pictures of our girls giggling and smiling. Thank you, Dianna!"

Kim F. -- Lansing, Mi.
"It was an absolute pleasure to have Dianna take me and my five year old son’s pictures. Not only was she very patient with my “lively” child but she was able to capture the bond that him and I have through her work. I would recommend anyone wanting to have beautiful memories caught on film to have Dianna put her talent to work. I truly feel she is a natural at this and she pours her heart and soul into what she does!"

Sarah C. -- Potterville, Mi.

"I recommend anyone looking for a photographer to hire Dianna Shaltry.  She was very accommodating and professional. 
I am not one to enjoy posing for pictures but Dianna made it fun and enjoyable.  I am very pleased with the pictures she took.  If I ever need to hire another photographer I would not hesitate to hire her again."

"When I knew it was time to find someone to do my son's senior pictures, I searched for someone who was the perfect combination of value and quality!  Right off the bat, we knew we had found the right fit!  First of all, Dianna takes the senior portrait for the yearbook and emails it to the high school right after you select the pose!  The "onsite" shoots were just as awesome.  She made David feel at ease and special.  She took photos that were meaningful to him and to me.  
Dianna is so easy to work with and has an awesome sense of humor and great eye for pictures.  Our photos turned out perfectly and we didn't need to take out a second mortgage on our home to pay for the photos!  I highly recommend Dianna Shaltry Photography!"

"I have never been a fan of having my kids' pictures taken professionally because it always seemed like the end result was awkwardly posed kids with fake smiles.  We would get them taken every now and then, but I would rarely display them in our home.  But Dianna's photography is different. She has the unique ability to capture the true emotion and personality of my children. Every time. I have never been one to decorate
my walls with photos, but I now proudly display many of Dianna's pictures throughout our home, and I look forward to adding many more!"

Jen W. -- Grand Ledge, Mi.
"We've had the opportunity to have Dianna as a photographer for a number of occasions: from a new baby, to a wedding, and family pictures.  Every time we've gotten pictures that we will treasure forever, and that's not easy to do with 4 kids, 5 years old and younger :)    Dianna is the perfect photographer for people with young kids because she doesn't get stressed, and goes with the flow.  Most of our favorite pictures are the ones that aren't posed because she manages to catch each child's personality in the everyday moments - from our son doing push ups during a military ceremony to show off for the "Army guys," or how 2 of our kids hid under the unity candle table at their Grandma's wedding instead of taking pictures."

"Dianna was absolutely wonderful to work with! You wouldn't have even known my daughter's photos were Dianna's very first newborn session! She does an amazing job and always puts her heart into each shot. Will be using her again!!"

Rachael S. -- Lansing, Mi.
"We had the opportunity to work with Dianna Shaltry for my daughter's [yearbook] senior photo and were very impressed with her and the picture of my daughter.  We then decided to have our family photos done by her and were very pleased with the pictures and felt that she was very professional.  She was easy to work with and had many great ideas.  We love our family photos.  We would highly recommend her."
