  • 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.

My Big Girl- Richmond, Virginia Child Photographer

It seems like just yesterday she was born, and now here she is, a 4 1/2 year old, full of spunk and personality. Avery has always been difficult to photograph. From the time she could comprehend that I was taking her picture she would turn her back, make awful faces, or just plain old pout. I had to bribe, beg, and threaten to even get one decent picture. Well, I’m pleased to say that I think those days are gone. While her sister was sleeping I asked if we could take a few pictures of her. Not only did she say yes, but she really got into it. Looking at these I realize that she truly isn’t a baby anymore. ::sniff sniff::

It’s not fair that they grow up so fast. She is so gorgeous, with a beautiful smile. Love the one where she is touching her toes.
