This weekend I was in DC for work and lucky for me I got to bring Grandma and Grandpa along. We spent Saturday visting the sites of DC. Grandma was the champion of the day as she took Jonathen out in the paddleboats! What a happy memory for him.

I have yet to see Jackson not love an animal. From the tiniest ant to the largest elephant, he has a magical appreciation for animals. I for one have never seen anything like it. He is attracted to them like a magnet and they to him. It is a fun thing to witness.

Their age difference has really torn at me lately. I am not sure why, except they could both benefit from some friends their age. These moves have been hard on Jonathen. We have many talks about how we miss his friends in Germany. In Germany I remember the talks about how much we missed our […]

For me happiness is about the simple things. Two little boys climbing in my bed on a Saturday morning to snuggle. That is about as good as a thing can get.

He is napping less and less these days. I keep thinking I have figured him out and try to nap earlier or later and it works for a day or two and then, again, no naps. I am pretty convinced that your best napper should never be your first born, it is like false advertising! […]

I love what school has shown us so far. This year, is his year. He is showing great responsiblity and sharing all his tales of the day. One of my favorite parts of this school year are our morning talks on the porch. Having that time, one on one, before we both start our day […]

morning talks

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.
