One of my favorite moments today. Jackson LOVES forts and that is a good thing, as Tyler said last week, Matt is the best fort builder. Tonight, a simple one, but it brought out all the smiles.

When Jackson loves a food or wants to eat something he really likes he will rub his little tummy up and down and say ummmmm. This week he has started doing that sign for toys he likes too. He will bring over a favorite toy, hand it to me, and say ummmmm with a smile […]

I love bath time. I am certain it is my favorite time of just about every day. The boys have always had so much fun in their bath. I love especially anytime Jackson gets something on his face, like water when washing his hair, he puckers up his lips and blows real hard! He has […]

In the very next frame they looked away, and they didnt look back. I was strong until I couldn’t see them any more. Then the tears started to sneak out one by one. I would say a sentence or two and they would sneak back in again. Even now as I write this a few […]

It was 3:04 am, I woke up, looked at the clock and had a rush of emotion as my mind instantly thought, he IS leaving. In that instant I wanted to go jump in his bed and cuddle him close. As if he was eight all over again. But that is just it, he is […]

For the last two years I have hid from exercise. The mere thought of it made me weak in the stomach. I would do a little yoga off and on but I could never bring myself to push like I used to. Before, I would get into my exercise and really, really enjoy pushing past […]

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.
