Meet Sereen
Hi! I’m Sereen, the creator behind the lens, a mom to a dino-loving gal, a full time mental health care specialist and advocate who is surviving and thriving on espresso! From a young age, photography set my soul on fire and made me feel alive. Photography was an inherited gift from my dad and though he wasn't a professional photographer, he was one who loved to photograph and cherish every moment of life.

TESTIMONIALS
“Sereen was the best photographer we could have ever imagined to have for our Henna & Wedding! Getting married during COVID was a stressful experience but Sereen was incredibly accommodating, patient, and flexible. She made us feel so comfortable and we were really able to be ourselves behind the camera. She captured the perfect moments that we will always treasure! I really can’t recommend Zaytouna enough. Not only was she an amazing photographer but she really made sure to make things go as smooth as possible and was there to help in any way possible. As always, Sereen exceeded every expectation we had! Our wedding portraits are everything we could’ve wanted and so much more. We are looking forward to have Zaytouna capture every milestone in the future. Best photographer ever!!!”
“I have been following Zaytouna Photography on Instagram since the first photo they posted. I love how bright and airy all their photos are. For our engagement session, we were so excited to be working with Zaytouna Photography. Sereen, the photographer, has an eye for detail and she never fails to capture the most perfect photos! She is so fun and easy to work with and we felt so comfortable in front of the camera with her. I also love how she is prepared and knowledgeable in many different aspects of photography. For example, when we booked our session with her we weren’t quite sure where exactly we wanted our pictures to be taken; however, Sereen was able to suggest the best places according to the season the session was held in. Since our session took place in the spring, she suggested a beautiful park filled with picture perfect cherry blossom trees. The photos look like a dream!!”
“Zaytouna was amazing!! She was on time and efficient! She didn't waste a single scenery without taking a memorable photo for us in it! She utilized whatever was around her to make the photo as unique as possible! Despite the heat in July, we were able to capture a lot of photos and made sure each photo was as perfect as the one before it! Quality over quantity!! She made us feel comfortable and free enough to be ourselves as well guide us into positions to make the picture better! Thank you so much!! Please work with her, you will be more than happy with how the photos will turn out!”
FAQ
+ I see you're based in New Jersey, do you travel for weddings or portrait sessions?
Absolutely! I actually have a bucket list of locations and venues to photograph! If you're the first client to book any of the locations on my 'to shoot' list, you'll receive discounted rate. However, please note, travel rates may apply. For the most accurate rates and packages, head over to the contact page and fill out the form! I'd want to know all you have envisioned!
+ I really want to plan a fun and untraditional engagement session but not sure where to start, can you help with planning?
You're tugging on my heart strings, I'd love nothing more! When it comes to planning sessions, there is a high likelihood that I have a location or creative concept I've been wanting to shoot and I'd love to share them with you! No two couples are the same and so the creative concepts I present may be more appealing to one couple than it is to the next, you can choose the one that fits you best. Of course, if the concepts I've presented don't sound fitting, we can work closely together to curate your own personal session.
+ Do you only photograph engagements and weddings? Or can I book a maternity/family/graduation or a just-because session?
The reason I got started in photography to begin with was to cultivate memories and milestones for others just as my dad did for me and my siblings throughout our lives. It was and still is one of the best gifts I have received. So, I most certainly photograph other types of portrait sessions, and gladly so!
