It is the last day of January and the temps were in the 60’s! It has been an unseasonably warm winter this year. We have been soaking up the sun after three dreary winters in Germany. Jackson missed his Daddy on our weekend getaway so it was the perfect afternoon for some warm and sunny […]

Moving around the world has its advantages. With each new adventure you have the benefit of tossing away parts of yourself you are not too crazy about and relishing in the ones you are. With that process it is easy to loose a little piece of yourself. Especially true with this last move. During this […]

Jackson met a new friend in Alabama, Barbie! He kept trying to move her hair to see her face, and when he was successful he would smile so big. Then the hair would fall back down and he would look for her face again. He has never seen anything like it so he was pretty […]

I will never forget the sounds of Jackson’s giggles as he played with all the neighborhood kids while visiting Erin in Alabama. There were so many kids playing and they ran around in a pack and little Jackson would run right in the middle and squeal with delight. He had always heard all the German […]

Jackson is the best traveler. This was the first trip where he really realized we were on a plane. From the “WOW” when he saw the airplanes on the tarmac to the “WEEEEE” as we took off that brought smiles to all the passengers around. He was a joy. Most of all I loved the […]

We went in search for a lost party invite tonight and it made me stop and look at the collection of things on our fridge. I decided right then that the fridge can tell a story. For me, it is love. Pure love because these things are there: 1. A magnet from Santorini holding up […]

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.
