I walk into his dark room greeted by the brightest smile. He reaches his arms up for me and squeezes me when he finds my neck. I carry him into my room and lay him in my bed. As he waits for the cup of milk to reach his grasp his little lips start to […]

Jackson has officially moved from the highchair to the family table tonight. I can barely describe how cool it felt to have him there with us. It felt so official, so right, so grown to have him sitting right next to me. I am a big time believer in the dinner table. It is where […]

As I type I am in a conversation with a dear friend. We are both documenting our lives in a very similar way. 100 days into this year and I find myself questioning everything, as does my friend. For me the questions are: Are we boring? Why are most of my pictures of my kids? […]

Right before dinner Jackson went to the art drawer and started to pull things out. I walked over and let him know we could do art after dinner. Half thinking he may not understand what that meant but I would try. He quickly helped me pick everything up and closed the drawer. He sat with […]

Jackson was busy playing with his dinosaurs and it looks like they got a little hungry!

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.
