WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

Before I hear, "I need to lose ___ pounds before something like that" OR "No way-I've had kids already...." Let me show you the BEAUTY of BEFORE and AFTER!

Stretch Marks All Gone =)



And I am more than thrilled to let my clients know that I have finally mastered magazine quality editing and processing. Here is an example of the difference between general editing and MAGAZINE QUALITY EDITING! I shot with the lovely Miss Kayla Johnson last Spring for a calendar for TN Tech...after applying "Star-Bright Eye" ... "Face Slenderizing" and a few other amazing photo editing tools and techniques I've learned over the past few months-Here is an example of the results!



Please understand that yes, new technology is AMAZING...However, please note that I am not a plastic surgeon...for example I cannot transform an image of "Bigfoot" into a "Barbie Doll" However I CAN shoot with you and pose/edit/process/print images that showcase you and your best features in your best light!! So if you have ever considered a "Boudoir" photo shoot, you should book yours TODAY!

Littrell Family











Melissa walked into my life when we were in the 7th grade! I am thankful to have such a wonderful friend-and it's crazy that here we are, 10 years later, and somehow managed to have little boys who are related-yes, they are Littrell's. The amazing thing about her "Littrell" family, is that they have been together (off and on of course) SINCE THE 5TH GRADE! Yes, it all started at the pencil sharpener for Melissa & Johnny! We've shared some amazing times since our teenage years, and I couldn't think of another friend who has been such a BIG part of my life, for so long!

Even after all this time, since those young elementary childhood days-you can still sense the romantic passion between this couple! Thank you for allowing me to capture such beautiful photos Melissa-you and your boys are A BLESSING to me and Cade, thank you for always being here for us-from the very beginning! Ever since I found out I was going to have Baby Cade you have stuck by my side and supported everything I've tried to do as I journeyed into motherhood-and I am forever grateful! Family, and in this case, FRIENDSHIP, IS FOREVER!

LOVE & LIGHT & LAUGHTER OVER BURNT GRILLED CHEESE ALWAYS,
Serena

Girl Scout Father/Daughter Dance for Troop # 478





Examples of Formal Shots done with the girls and their "dates" =)



SO I am A HUGE FAN of Girl Scouts-I was a Girl Scout up until they no longer offered it at our school...AND it was through Girl Scouts that I discovered my passion for photography...yes this was when I was just a wee little girl. Yep, that's right, on a good Ole' camping trip, I had finally convinced my Mom that I was old enough to be responsible for our camera, and wanted to work toward earning a photography patch, and then I took all the pictures I could that weekend, and thus began my addiction to going to WalMart and counting down the days until my film would be developed and delivered-funny I now know how my clients feel when I am editing a collection =) As a child, I would pour over all of the pictures I took of various life events, and as they say, practice makes perfect ;) SO here I am 20 years later... TAKING PICTURES for all of you lovely wonderful people!

This weekend was the FIRST ANNUAL Girl Scout Troop # 478 FATHER/DAUGHTER DANCE at the White County Agricultural Building in Sparta, Tennessee. I was asked to photograph the event and offer the girls a small formal print package they could purchase-and of course a portion of it went to help raise money for the girls. Let's just say these little girls getting all dressed up to dance with their Daddy's and Grandpa's and friends... was just PRECIOUS! I had the best time watching them all giggle and dance and crawl up into their dad/uncles/step dads/grandpas/ arms. I truly was one of the sweetest events I've had the pleasure of capturing on digital film!

Thank you Catrina Ledford and Jennifer Case for allowing me to photograph your special event! It was a huge success!!!

Love & Light Always,
Serena

Krystal's Senior Pictures






Krystal is one of the sweetest souls I have ever had the pleasure of meeting! She is an absolute delight to be around, and is always cheerfully offering exciting new creative ideas! Watching her high school transition from a junior to a senior is refreshing-and I truly enjoy conversations with this exciting joyful young woman!

Krystal, I hope you enjoyed our session at the historic Train Depot in Cookeville, Tennessee. The pictures of you and your Mom are precious, and your boyfriend was super sweet during this shoot! I had so much fun trying to play up this popular photography setting location!

Until next time!

Love & Light Always,
Serena

Ashley's Precious Family









Ashley Vance, her mother Johnnie, and her adorable little boy Keaton, enjoyed a fun family session a few days ago! Keaton has so much personality! I've never seen a kid who was trying so hard to SMILE and did so on cue! It was precious! Here are a few of my favorites! The fall leaves, ravishing red outfits, and perfect smiles just made this one of the most perfect family photo sessions ever!

Love & Light Always,
Serena
