"If I could give Serena 10 stars I would. You won’t find another photographer who goes above and beyond to make all of your photo visions come to life. She puts in so much extra effort to get my pup to look at the camera and every session we have with her I’m amazed with the outcome…especially with how timely she sends us the gallery! I’ve already recommended her to family and friends and will continue to do so!"

"I highly, highly recommend Serena!! She was FABULOUS from our initial contact and the experience just kept getting better and better. She gave valuable input from destination choices to outfit choices, was very accommodating when we had to change dates and she made my daughter feel so much at ease and it really shows in the pictures. THANK YOU SERENA!"
- Kelly M.
"Serena is the absolute best and I will never go to anyone else! I’ve done a few shoots with her now and she manages to top herself every time. My fiancé and I struggle with taking the same photos with the same pose over and over again. Her posing skills made the whole thing feel so natural and fun, and it really shows in our photos! She got pictures back to us in such a timely manner so that we were able to announce our engagement using professional photos. I couldn’t be happier with how our shoot turned out and I can’t stop looking at them!"
- Bella P.
"I had my heart set on family photos in the height of the fall season and Serena's process made choosing the location and time and even coordinating clothing an absolute breeze (which as a mom of three is a blessing; one less thing to think about)! She was so helpful and communicative during the entire process and WONDERFUL with the kiddos (and believe me, I've got some wild ones and she was fantastic with them)! Highly recommend using Serena Rae Photography for capturing those important life moments!"
- Michelle M.
"Serena is wonderful to work with, she makes the shoot so stress free & fun! Not too mention, she's the best hype girl from behind the camera! Whether it comes to posing, fixing flyaways, or lighting; she always takes the small things into consideration. I've been dreaming of my senior photo shoot for years and she went above & beyond what I've imagined! I absolutely adore these shots & wouldn't of wanted anyone else to make my vision a reality! Can't wait to work with her more this upcoming year as I'm a 2026 senior rep!!"

"Serena was a BLAST to work with! She was quick to respond, easy to set up a date and time, and gave us her utmost attention throughout our entirety of our session. She made us (mainly my wife) feel so confident during our maternity shoot, it was a game changer. If you’re looking for photos, book with her quick!! She’ll be the biggest photographer in the county in no time! Thank you Serena!"
- Kyle G.
“Serena could not have done a better job, [she] made us feel so comfortable and the photos are so natural. She has such a sweet nature and is more soft-spoken so our very shy 9 month old was comfortable. Serena was really kind and thought of everything to make the session a success. It was amazing the variety of photos that Serena took during our session. Serena had such helpful information before our session, she took the stress out of trying to figure out what outfits to wear. We love our photos and used them on our Christmas cards and framed them in our home! We are absolutely planning on working with Serena again and are looking forward to another family session with her!"
- Amy K.
"Serena is the absolute BEST ever!! She would take our KU Dance Team photos each season and they were absolutely beautiful, so I called her up to take my senior portraits as well! She did a fantastic job, was so much fun to hang out with, and made our senior session ideas come true for each and every one of us! Our pictures came back so quick and were simply stunning! I can’t thank her enough!! Will definitely schedule another shoot with her in the future! :)"
- Maddie M.
"We felt so comfortable with Serena. She was so kind, patient, and had such fun ideas to elicit the best shots. Before the shoot she was super prepared and organized which led to a very relaxed & seamless experience. We were amazed by the quality of the photos she sent us for both of our photo shoots. They were everything we pictured and more. We absolutely recommend booking with Serena! We definitely will be booking again."
- Sarah S.
"My family and I have been looking for a photographer for a while now, and we’re so glad we were able to come across Serena! She was so understanding & compassionate during our session, not to mention professional & fun! She was able to make a connection with our toddler to actually sit still and manage to take a good photo. She’s one in a million, we’re so thankful to have found her! Can’t wait to work with her again in the near future!"
- Alyssa A.
"Your photographer search ends with Serena. She is AMAZING! We had such a great experience working with her during our family photoshoot. She was wonderful with our toddler. So much in fact that our toddler was sad to see her leave at the end of our session. The turn around time for photos was so quick and the products were beautiful! My family will definitely work with Serena again."
- Miranda B.

"I did my Senior Portraits with Serena Rae Photography in the summer of 2025, and it was an absolutely amazing and fun experience. It was the first time I ever really stood in front of a camera for something like this- for me, but Serena did an incredible job at walking through the process, the poses, struts, every nitty gritty detail to make sure I had a great experience and felt comfortable to express my true self to be captured on camera. We did Reading Public Museum Park, Berks County- beautiful spot for some gorgeous scenic gems like the flower garden and creek. The session was filled with laughter and excitement throughout every shot."
- Emma-Grace B.
"Most amazing person, super sweet, impressively prepared, she had hair spray, pop up tent, study wagon that outshines Mary Poppins bag any day and WOW is Serena extremely talented, she made my shy girl come out of her shell and kept a smile in her face the entire time!!! I CAN’T SAY ENOUGH about Serena and her services, don’t hesitate and book your next photo session with her right away! Best photos ever!"
- Alice S.
"Serena is an absolute delight! She was so cool and casual, and immediately made our family feel at ease. She did an amazing job choosing scenery, angles and posing us for interesting photos. Perhaps most importantly, she got my two teenage boys to genuinely smile and show their personalities! Love our pictures!"
- Lori F.
"Serena is very professional and has a wonderful creative eye. On two occasions, she has photographed our family and done an outstanding job. She not only has a gift for creating and capturing special moments but she makes the entire process fun, putting everyone at ease. Her quick turnaround time is also impressive."
- Amy B.
"We had a great experience working with Serena! She did a wonderful job capturing our family photos this year — the pictures turned out beautifully, and she made the whole session feel relaxed and fun. She truly has a great eye for light and natural moments, and it’s clear she’s extremely talented. We’re already planning to book with her again next fall! It’s impressive how skilled she is, and we’re excited to see her continue to grow as an artist. Highly recommend!"

She did a wide range of photos with various poses, backgrounds, props and a mix of funny, casual and serious looks. She has a great artistic eye and was connected great with each of them to make sure their photos were unique and expressed their individual personalities. Both of our kids loved working with her and we are are in agreement that she is our #1 go to for any future photo events."
