I focus on creating images that feel real, warm, and full of life.

My timeless photography is more than just taking pretty pictures. It is purposeful and created with intention, capturing genuine moments that tell your story and last a lifetime.

capturing genuine moments you’ll truly love.

I have done 3 family shoots with Serena and they have been amazing each time. I am in love with all of my photos and will be booking more as my boys grow!

Does this sound like you currently?

  • Feeling stressed about getting everyone to smile at the same time
  • Looking for a photographer who lets kids be themselves 
  • Hoping to capture fleeting moments and little quirks

You’ve picked all the outfits, got everyone ready, and made it on time… and now the kids aren’t listening. That’s okay! I’m here to make the session fun and relaxed, capturing your family exactly as you are. From playful giggles to spontaneous moments, I’ll help you enjoy the experience and preserve the little personalities that make your family unique. By the end, you’ll have photos that feel genuine, joyful, and completely yours.

Family photo sessions should be fun, not stressful.

 Serena has an incredible ability to make everyone feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, especially with young kids, which is no easy feat!
Every session with her has felt relaxed and enjoyable. The final photos are always stunning.
