She said she wanted to spend as many ‘Nani’ minutes as she could today. She even walked over 3 miles with me in the name of Nani time. There are not enough words to describe the love I have for this girl. My girl. She says the sweetest things. Today when we were walking in […]

The last minutes of the day were the best. The Jackson’s arrived late and we all fell onto the couch together. It was like no time had passed, except for the fact that my little girl, well, she is taller than me now! We were sitting on the couch, yes all of us on the […]

It is an amazing feeling to share the smiles and love my boys can bring. To be a part of that, to be on this side of seeing my Mom and Dad smile, is touching. This picture showed me that in a way I had never even thought about before and for that I am […]

My Dad grabbed my camera tonight and caught this candid moment. I am so thankful. Matt and I cuddled and the boys being silly with the happiness that Daddy is home. We can check off our first deployment since returning to the states and it feels good. I learned much about myself and now I […]

We have been waiting for the last piece of the settled puzzle. Waiting for our four bedroom home to be available. As much as I would like to say this waiting has been filled with peace and comfort, it has been nothing of the sort. I have felt so anxious. Mostly because I did not […]

This morning while I was talking with Tyler on skype, Jonathen and Papa Mark were busy learning to make the coolest paper airplanes. They checked youtube videos and created a few different planes. They flew them all through the house. The best part was seeing how excited both of their faces were. I love these […]

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.
