We had the good fortune of connecting with Diana Jenkins and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Diana, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
I’ve always been a creative person, but photography feels like a calling, something the Lord invited me into. My goal is to capture images that reflect the authentic essence of your brand, making each photo feel genuinely you.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My process begins with inviting the Lord into each project through prayer. I seek His guidance in creating shot lists, building the brand’s mood board, and crafting posing prompts.

Even after a year, I’m still learning and grateful for the valuable advice I’ve received from photographers I admire. I’ve learned that comparing myself to others can stifle my growth, so I stay focused on what the Lord is doing with me and Diana Sy Photo. I’m always open to learning to improve my craft, which I believe is essential for any creative.

A core part of my brand and story is praying for my clients’ businesses. I pray for wisdom, confidence, growth, and any specific needs they have in their current season.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I’d start by taking my friend to China Queen in Carrollton—it’s seriously the BEST spot for dumplings! If we’re in the mood to get crafty, we’d head over to FuzzLabs to customize our own phone cases. Then, we’d spend some time outdoors at White Rock Lake or Trinity Trails, enjoying a nice walk in the sunshine while drinking coffee from Summer Moon or Boba.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
All credit and recognition go to the Lord. He’s the one who’s opened doors and connected me with business leaders I’ve had the privilege to photograph. I trust He will continue to guide this journey, and I’m grateful to be part of it.
