Fireflies and Northern Lights

FIREFLY PHOTOGRAPHY

Like everybody else, I was fascinated by fireflies as a kid.  Then in 2015 I started to photograph fireflies, which opened up another level of wonder.

I was intrigued by how fireflies silently and magically lit up the dark. Using long exposures, I began juxtaposing stars and firefly trails to create another dimension to these nocturnal images. 

Through my firefly photography with these ethereal beetles, I observed  fireflies love damp, long grass environments. There is no bioluminescence beyond the grassy fields. During firefly season, agriculture fields are dark, while adjoining fields with diverse grasses glow like tiny blinking lanterns.

It is my goal to donate our firefly photography profit to purchase marginal farmland suited for firefly habitat restoration, which will benefit the entire biome, and the farmer.

Please consider a purchase of these mystical, unique photographs for your home. They look great above a fireplace mantel or a headboard. You’ll have a piece of art unlike anybody else.

Purchase Firefly Photography here, along with Northern Lights and the Milky Way.  Enjoy!

PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

Portrait photography is rather magical. Every portrait session has a goal, every personality is unique.

If I bring anything to a shoot, its probably honesty, a casual openness, and hopefully a trust that is revealed through the photograph to the viewer.

My portrait photography subjects range from commercial or corporate portraits to editorial work and senior photography, plus family portraits. We can shoot outdoors, indoors, window lit, wherever, it doesn’t matter.

My volunteer portrait photography consists of working with Flashes of Hope, where we photograph children who are being treated for cancer, along with their families. See FOH portraits.

For MN Heart Gallery, we photograph young adults in need of a home. Each of these groups provide such a wonderful service helping children of all ages.
