hi there. (: I'm a MINNESOTA PHOTOGRAPHER that blends warm, intimate portraits with a soft, storytelling vibe.
let's capture your joy
My name is Serena Strelow – to start off, I'm going to be EXTREMELY cliché and say... "I was born & raised in a small town in central Minnesota." Because.... well, I was! :) I have a crazy black lab puppy named DJ, & a sweet little kitty named Oakley. On October, 20th 2022, I was promoted to Mommy. God truly blessed me with my sweet little boy. Not only was I blessed once, but I got blessed AGAIN on February 15th, 2025 with another little boy. I absolutely ADORE being a Mama – it's the biggest blessing this life has to offer - NO DOUBT.
Basically, to put me in a nutshell... Faith, family, & creativity are the pillars of my existence!
So, I don't know about you... but since I was a little girl I’ve been a dreamer. I would dream about the big world in front of me & how I was going to leave my "mark". I really thought I would have to make some sort of scientific discovery, or become a famous actress to leave some sort of legacy...
But, what I found out down the road was so much more beautiful…
The uncontrollable butterflies when you’re in the presence of someone you love... the bubbling giggles of a child... the excitement of your furry friend when you return home… Seriously, the little miracles are E N D L E S S !
What better way to capture the joy in the "every day", then snapping a photo?
That's where Serena Marie Photography steps in –
