I was digging through some pictures of us from earlier in the year and this one surprised me. I do not even remember taking it!! But when I saw it flash up on my screen I immediately thought, this is what my kids see all the time. I can’t help but wonder if this will […]

I never want to forget this moment.This morning, for the first time ever, Jackson and I shared a very collaborative learning moment. Typically I share all the information and I get smiles and hugs in return but this morning, Jackson pointed, repeated, and mimicked everything I did. He even found a new friend, the belly […]

  I have had a crush on photography for as long as I can remember. A camera in hand as a little girl felt like a compass providing a connection to how I felt inside, to the world I adored on the outside. As the years passed, photography became a constant source of clarity in […]

We all love our new quilt from Grandma Linda, but I think Jonathen has claimed it most. I have folded and refolded this blanket so many time because every time Jonathen finds his way to the couch he grabs it and cuddles up under it! I wouldn’t have it any other way. My favorite part […]

It’s five o’clock and as I tried to think of what our moment of today was going to be, I glanced down and smiled. Yep, still in my pajamas. The smile came in part to the conversation I had yesterday on skype with my friend Kim, she joked that she wasn’t sure if she knew […]

I was breathing in the warm breeze while watching Jackson contently play with a bowl of water and a few sand toys when Jonathen walked over to ask to go to a friends house to play. That was us at 4:23 p.m. today.

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.
