This little boy just makes me smile! As a lifestyle photographer here in the Upper Valley of VT and NH, I was delighted to take these photos. Here we have his one-year portraits as a lifestyle session in his beautiful room, with his family (and his dog) and later………..he is destroying a cake. Enjoy! Firefly…
Here is another maternity session. There must be something in the water, because I have two maternity portrait sessions and a newborn photo session on Friday alone! Anyway, enjoy these rustic-themed images of this beautiful second-time mom-to-be. She also happens to be an amazing artist and owned and instructed art at the Traillworks Gallery in…
There are things about you quite unlike any other. Things always known by your father or mother. So if you decide to be different one day, no worries… I’d know you anyway. from I’d Know You Anywhere, My Love by Nancy Tilman This was a cold, but beautiful maternity portrait session with this stunning…
I specialize in maternity, newborn and child portrait photography in both Northern NJ and Southern NH. I like to do personal creative projects from time to time and they have manifested in my Do You Dream in Color? stylized shoots. Each shoot has a different message, but they are all in my dreamy, whimsical style….
I was looking down so much, that my neck started to hurt. No, this isn’t some kind of Winter Blues post…………A light dusting of sparkly snowflakes fell on Keene, NH. I posted a week or so ago of some Snowflake Fairies I photographed. I was back at it again with my camera. This is what…
Today was a perfect day for those big fluffy beautiful snowflakes. It’s amazing how fleeting they are – it’s sort of a metaphor for impermanence, isn’t it? They are so delicate and unique and disappear with a single breath of warm air, or a gentle wind. Next time it snows, look around……….these little glistening beauties…

I normally do maternity, newborn and child portrait photography in mostly in Northern NJ, and Keene, NH. Once each year, I like to step away and do something a bit different. Avalon is this year’s project. Last year, I did an Alice in Wonderland-themed shoot. I already have some ideas for 2013. But first, here…
[…] As a family and child portrait photographer here in Keene, NH and in the Upper Valley of VT and NH as firefly photography, I was really happy to be selected to be a part of the Keene Art Walk in downtown Keene, NH with images from my “Do You Dream in Color?” series, “Avalon”.

A tree does grow in Brooklyn. I was thrilled to be able to utilize a rooftop garden to capture some beautiful imagery of this gorgeous new mother. Firefly Photography is now booking appointments in Southern NH (Keene and the Monadnock Region) and Brattleboro, VT for dreamy maternity, newborn and child portrait photography. Getting married?…
I went to England last month. It was on a whim. I thought my fondness for spontaneity would fade away after I had a kid, but it didn’t. I went on this trip alone. I have never been apart from my little mini for more than an excruciating 24 hours and I was certainly never…
In the fall of 2011, I created my first “Do You Dream in Color?” portrait series in NJ. When I moved to Keene NH, I was delighted to be in my first Keene Art Walk! I was placed at Salon Exodus with my Alice in Wonderland series.
I took these photos in the woods in NH earlier this month. I also happen to admire Thoreau. He was a very principled and interesting man, critical to the Transcendentalist movement and he wasn’t afraid to go against the grain of society. It could be said that his writings influenced the likes of Dr Martin…
Hear the sledges with the bells – Silver bells! What a world of merriment their melody foretells! How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, In the icy air of night! While the stars that oversprinkle All the heavens, seem to twinkle With a crystalline delight….. Edgar Allen Poe I always loved this part of Poe’s “The Bells”….
One of the things I have noticed is that the business side of things was interfering with the creative side of things. Not that I claim to be the next Jackson Pollock, but working on the images from this concept shoot while the world goes on, has been very meditative. So I decided to do…
Who knew that at 2am that morning, Megan and I were two crazy wrecks working on last-minute studio preparations?! I am so happy with the final result. Here we are in front of the building on 23 Main Street in Sparta, NJ. I hope to keep growing. It was perfect night on Friday – the moon was…

If you’re in the Sussex or Warren County area, and you have children, then you’ve probably heard of Dr Chi. Actually, if you’re under 40, and you grew up in the area, there’s a chance he has been your pediatrician. He’s kind of a mainstay in the area who has been around …. pretty much forever!…
I happen to be on a pretty intense course of self-improvement in the art and technique of photography. Among the bits of valuable advice I have gotten was this little gem; to be a better photographer, move to the other side of the lens. I am naturally camera-shy and I generally don’t like to be the…
In stark contrast to what is going on in other parts of the state here as well as the dramatic tragedy currently affecting the Pacific, there was relative quiet at Kittatinny Valley State Park in Andover, NJ this morning. Enjoy these quiet images I shot on this chaotic day for our planet. I wish for peace and…
Before I discovered a passion in portraiture, my photography developed during my travels. Lonely Planet: Morocco makes mention of this small town in the Rif Mountains called Chefchaouen. My curiosity sent me over to Google Images, at which point I was determined to see this place for myself. The town is painted blue and it reminded…
I loved magnifying this tiny little ice world that exists in my own backyard. Millions of individual crystals that are so intricate, so ornate, and yet disappear in an instant. I went outside carefully searching through snow for individual crystals with a twig and laid out the individual flakes on either a black scarf or…
The fall issue of Edible Jersey came out the other day. It’s a beautiful magazine and I am excited to have been asked to be a part of a feature story on Sussex County called Wealth of Green. See below: Firefly Photography is now booking appointments in Southern NH (Keene and the Monadnock…

This picture just reminds me of Alice in Wonderland (or maybe I am just always looking for Wonderland references in my shoots?) Yesterday I went to Skylands Manor to meet a mom and her two girls. I don’t remember ever being at Skylands Manor and it was gorgeous and we had the most beautiful weather…
