It was late when he asked, even later when I crawled in bed next to him. He scooched right into my arms. It felt so good to be needed by my middle who never asks for much. Shortly after this picture was taken we switched. He opened his arms to me and I cuddled up […]

It was an amazing night for so many reasons. I have loved these girls for the longest of time. Little Ava. was just that when I met her. A few months old, flying around in her Daddy’s arms. I will never forget that day. Addie, was still just a dream. One that we would talk […]

I felt like I was shooting for National Geographic this morning. I sat back and stalked my subject, waiting, patiently waiting, for him to use his ‘binoculars’. I want them captured, as they have been such a huge part of his childhood and I think they will fade away soon. When Jackson is unsure of […]

I often wonder, so I decided to ask him. Jonathen, what do you like about being in the middle? I like that I get to be the little brother and the big brother, he said. What do you not like about being in the middle? Annoying brothers. Wait, no, Tyler couldn’t do a single thing […]

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 […]
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.
tell me about your family
I would love to get to know you too!
