We didn’t even make it out of the parking lot before we had our first bite. I could barely contain my happy as the sweetest juice trickled down my cheek. Ten years away and farmers markets were in my top five things I missed most about home. Some may argue that both Japan and Germany […]

This last week has been an amazing thing to witness. Like a Christmas tree lighting up with a million lights, Jackson’s words have arrived. He has added at least 50 words to his vocabulary just this week, many in the form of two or three word sentences. With all the new words comes a lot […]

His first word was car. He loves anything that has to do with cars. Watching them drive down the street, watching a race on tv, or most of all one in each hand as he goes about his daily tasks. Today as I unrolled his car mat on the floor I got a wave of […]

I wanted his first run to be memorable. One that he could reflect on years from now and it would still bring a smile. For maybe that smile will inspire him to keep moving, keep running, and know that I am always behind him, believing. It was just that. It started off shakey but we […]

I have never lived some place so hot. I have lived on tropical beaches for most of my life, and still, they can’t touch a New Jersey summer. Today was 102 degrees outside and so humid you could cut the air with a knife. We opted for some backyard pool fun as it was just […]

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.
