We worked hard today but I am pretty sure we laughed harder. I am currently in the middle of a book that talks about marriage briefly and I shared with Matt just yesterday what it says. It talks about people leaving their marriages all too soon, never wanting to work through the hard times. It […]

Some things you have to do without thinking too hard. Exercise is one of those things for me. I have to almost trick myself into putting my shoes on and getting out the door. There is almost always this moment, about half way into my hike, that I feel surprised to be where I am. […]

I got all settled on the plane, opened my book and had the biggest exhale. An exhale that I believe I had been holding since Jack was born. The one you don’t even realize you have been holding so tightly because you are so use to the busy. I spent my time reading. I could […]

I spent Saturday in Alabama meeting up with old clients. It was so fun to see how much my little clients had grown and to see their families growing with love. To be a part of that is something I cherish. I love the connection and bond I have with clients even years later. That […]

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.
