  • About Me

    My name is Samantha Parks and I am the owner of Firefly Photography. I am a wife, mother to two precious daughters, organic eating (with an occasional coke here or there), homebirthing, lover of life. I do nothing without passion. I pour my heart and soul into all of my endeavors, especially photography.

    Pictures are proof, reminders, that people looked a certain way, dressed or smiled in a certain fashion, or sometimes simply that they existed. I want others to have those same memories, not just for themselves, but for their children and grandchildren. Pictures mean that someone was here, they lived, they made an impact. Sometimes we need proof. I want to give that gift to my clients.

Ballerina Girl- Richmond, Va. Child Photographer

When I was in the throes of infertility, one of the things I used to dream about was having a little girl who loved ballet. When I gave birth to Avery, all of my dreams came true and I really didn’t even care if she hated ballet (though I’m glad she loves it!) I had my little girl and that was all that mattered. Since she has an October birthday, most schools wouldn’t take her in September since she wasn’t quite 2. I persisted until I found one that would. This is her 3rd year taking ballet (and second taking tap) and she just eats it up. Her recital is coming up in May and I can hardly wait (I cry every single time!). I did her costume pictures a few days ago and wanted to share some of my favorites. I can’t believe she is 4 1/2 already. No matter how big she gets, she’ll always be my little ballerina girl.

Sweet Little Guy- Richmond, Va. Newborn Photographer

I love doing newborn photography. I think working with babies and new parents is one of the greatest joys I’ve ever had. Not to mention that I get to use my creativity while I work. It just doesn’t get any better than this. Isn’t this little guy just precious?

Girls are Sugar and Spice- Richmond, Va. Newborn Photographer

There’s not much I can say about this image except that this little girl was super sweet and this shot is one of my faves. I think in this instance, pictures speak louder than words!
