We haven’t left the house for almost a week. The artic winds have been howling and we have been hiding inside working on mastering the toilet! So today when the weather shifted and it was almost 60 degrees and there were puddles begging to be jumped in…we did it. I had no idea daddy was […]

Today is close to my heart. I found an old journal that had an interview with my boys about me when they were 8 and 16. They are now 13 and 20 so I was just so curious what the difference would be. One was a teenager last time and is now out in the […]

I have been lucky enough to know this family for years. We did a session together in Japan and I could not get over how much fun they were then. Getting to reconnect with them in Virginia earlier this year was like a dream. I thought they were funny all those years ago, now they […]

family 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.
