| Chasing Fireflies Photography is a unique studio serving northern New
Mexico and Southern Colorado. Its founder, Jennifer Sparaco, has a special flair for
photojournalistic photography. What is photojournalistic photography? Jennifer likes
to think of it as photography that captures who you are. "Say cheese!" are two words
you will never hear from her mouth. Instead, she prefers to capture the personality of
each client. "Perhaps your four year old is a dreamer. No sense in confining him or her
to an unnatural smile on a 4x6 photograph. Why not create a photograph of your child
dreaming of pirates and spaceships, of fairies and unicorns with that thoughtful, dreamy
look you love so much? Those are the large prints my clients hang in their homes." Photographs
are a moment in time, a memory captured forever. Jennifer has an extraordinary ability
to capture the most fleeting of moments, a look, an expression, a feeling. "I often look
at old family photos, and wonder what that young face of my great-great-grandmother was
thinking when she was my age and the entire world was before her." Capturing these special
moments and memories is what Jennifer loves to offer her clients. "I offer collections
for every special time in life. From a baby's first breath, an amazing moment to capture
in my birth photography, to the wide-eyed excitement of a graduating senior, or a lifetime
of love shared between a couple celebrating 50 years of marriage. I am honored to be
a part of these memories that make up life." As an on-location photographer, several
different options are available to clients. Jennifer knows newborns are most comfortable
being photographed at home, seniors may want something more varied. Likewise, young engaged
couples may prefer something more funky or edgy, such as photographs taken in our historic
downtown alleyways. Recently, Chasing Fireflies Photography renovated a small studio
space for occasions when something more simple or traditional is desired or for when
the weather turns too cold or wet for outdoor shooting. |

Jennifer also donates her time
to a cause very close to her heart. "I am an affiliate photographer for the Now I Lay
Me Down To Sleep Foundation. This foundation pairs professional photographers with parents
of babies who will not make it home from the hospital." A photographer, at a family's
request, will come to a hospital or hospice location and conduct a sensitive, private
portrait session for the family and their precious baby. Often times the photographs
offer comfort to parents and families during the healing process after such a tragic
loss by honoring their child's memory. The services are completely free of charge and
parents will receive a remembrance slide show and photographs from the session to use
as they desire. If you know somebody who may be in need of such services, you can find
out more by visiting the foundation's website at
www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org.
