  • 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.

Sweet, Sweet Baby- Richmond, Va. Newborn Photographer

Little Miss “I” was just a dream to work with! We tried a ton of poses, hats, headbands, and she just slept like a dream. When she was awake she just studied me with her big curious eyes. I photographed her brother when he was a newborn and was so excited to see mama get her little girl. Thanks K family!

Mister Personality- Richmond, Va. Newborn Photographer

The “A” family traveled to me for their session from Williamsburg. Mr. D was so sweet and full of personality. At 1 month old, I warned mom that he may not want to be curled up and sleepy like the shots she was expecting. Thankfully, he gave us the best of both worlds. Mr. D slept some and then studied me with his big beautiful eyes while I snapped away. I had a ball working with him and his parents.

Sweet Family of Four- Richmond Va. Newborn and Family Photographer

What a sweet little family these four were. Not only did they have a beautiful little girl, Miss G (check out those stunning eyes!), but they now have a perfect little boy, Mr. G, to round out their family. Both parents were incredibly sweet and their kiddos were absolutely darling. I’m sad that they don’t live in the area anymore, but I hope they will stop in for a session when they are visiting!

Double The Love- Richmond, Va. Newborn Photographer

The only thing better than working with one newborn is working with two! These little ones were an absolute delight to photograph!

Mr. J and Ms. M were not only adorable, but were both super cooperative. In true girly nature, Ms. M was a little peanut, over 2 lbs smaller than her brother. I have a feeling she’s not going to let that stop her from showing him who’s boss!

Tiny Newborn Sweetness- Richmond, Va. Newborn Photographer

Wh at

a doll this little girl was! She slept almost the entire session and let me do anything I wanted. I was in my glory! Not to mention, she had the most gorgeous skin and a full head of hair. Little M was a photographer’s dream!
