Today is best captured by a list. 1. This kid rocks. I am so proud that I get to be his mom. 2. We lived the first part of his life in the oncology unit and today we got to walk past the oncologist and go to the neurologist. Felt like a graduation or victory. […]

Everything we thought we knew about anything at all has changed.  Plans we had, packing material we saved, ideas about the future. Our kids. It all changed in that moment when that Dr. came in and said, “I am just going to say it to you straight…” Kristina Murphy I came into this story late. I […]

I went to get a piece of banana bread and it was almost all gone. So I set out to investigate. Who ate all the banana bread? Hmm. Think I figured it out!

Matt had pulled out his big tool set to help Jonathen with his bike. In the distance you could hear an excited gasp. Not two seconds later and the tools were busy in his little hands. He worked feverishly to fix everything in sight. Changing tools, running back and forth, excitedly, proudly ‘fixing’.

Your little world is all about animals right now. Or should I say aminals. You wake up talking about them, they keep you company all day long, and bedtime books are full of them too. So when we had a Sunday with nothing much to do, we decided to pack up for the zoo. Jonathen […]

He threw the bike down, next came the helmet. I stood there in disbelief. For I had never imagined that to be ‘in’ my Jonathen. Don’t get me wrong, he gets frustrated just like anyone else, but I have never seen him so animated about it. I had pushed him not to quit. Pushed him […]

my story

There is something about the way they look at you or that little giggle that gets you every time. That moment that tugs a little harder on your heartstrings. The moment that you tell yourself you are never going to forget. As a mother, I find refuge in the natural images of my children, images that bring me right back to that smile, giggle or moment. 

Those images grow stronger as the years pass. At the moment the photo is taken I see it as it was. Years later and I am transported back to the moment and I feel like I can be right there again. I can even hear that little giggle that goes along with that look. To me that is the strongest investment I can make; being able to freeze time and return to it anytime I want. 

I personally created Serena Nicole Studios with a mother's wish in mind. I wanted a custom photography experience to capture all of those natural looks, smiles and giggle that will transport YOU in time. Looks that are carefully crafted by a fluid and natural portrait experience that is child centered. My photographic style is very tender to encourage every one to feel comfortable so they can show me their style all their own. 

I see your family as I would want to capture mine. Those looks between a mother and child, a finger wrapped tightly around yours. Candid expressions that showcase what makes your family unique and all your own. So that years later you can remember more than what you looked like but what you felt like too.
