Ruwan and Diana Photography

Ruwan & Diana Photography creates authentic family portraits inspired by the adventures families love most. Serving San Diego and North County, we offer experience-driven sessions that focus on connection, shared moments, and meaningful memories, resulting in heirloom artwork families can live with, cherish, and pass down through generations.

We create value by designing portrait experiences that feel relaxed, guided, and genuinely meaningful. Rather than focusing on posed images, we help families share an experience together, whether that’s exploring a favorite outdoor spot or spending time together at home. The memories made during the session are just as important as the final artwork. Those moments are then thoughtfully crafted into heirloom-quality prints and albums, turning family experiences into tangible artwork that carries personal and emotional value for years to come.

Ruwan brings a calm, thoughtful, and highly relational approach to both photography and business. With a background in Environmental Science and over 15 years as a middle school science teacher, he naturally creates an environment where families, and especially teens, feel comfortable, seen, and at ease. His early training on slide film shaped a patient, intentional approach to visual storytelling, while his educational background sharpened his ability to guide people clearly and confidently. As a co-leader of the studio, Ruwan focuses on client experience, strategic direction, and heirloom product design, ensuring that every session is not only enjoyable, but deeply meaningful. Ruwan is known for building trust quickly, listening carefully, and helping clients feel confident throughout the entire process. His work is rooted in family values, legacy, and creating images that resonate long after the moment has passed.
