Last night he asked if he could turn the entire living room into a fort and sleep there. He has had more fun building and creating this year. He loves most to create forts that Jackson can enjoy with him or that challenge Jackson to climb and do things Jonathen has to help him with. […]

As a military kid friends are hard to come by. Especially friends that share your interests and even more importantly your eleven year old boy humor!! Jonathen seems to have found just that, at last. They were so excited to have a two night sleep over…but boy were they tired when all the fun was […]

Jackson runs into my bathroom, opens the drawers and pulls out all the toothbrushes, then he turns and runs as fast as his little feet will carry him. It is a sight that makes me giggle almost every day and one that makes me thankful that we are a very ‘close’ family!

I am not sure if he knows it yet, but this has been a big summer. He has taught himself to swim, after years of hesitation. We have spent almost every day at the pool and watching him get stronger and stronger makes my heart sing.

  I have been on a journey of sorts. Half literal and half figuratively. Moving my business always forces me to rethink everything. Some moves it doesn’t take me long to find my path. Other moves, to include this one, I take it a little bit slower and bask in all that is me, artistically. […]

This makes me laugh and sigh all at once. It has been a summer of brother bonding. Yet, with an age difference of 10 years, in order to bond, something has to give. And well, Jonathen has done just that! A little regression caught on film! In his sweet defense, we are working on teaching […]

too much time

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.
