FireflyNights Photography

Firefly Nights Photography provides custom portraits that are true works of art. Being a Naperville photographer working with clients all over Chicago, especially the western suburbs like Hinsdale and Elmhurst, Firefly Nights provides maternity, newborn, child, high school senior, pet, and family photography.  Photographer Megan Drane is also the nation’s premier special needs photographer. Located in downtown Naperville, Illinois, Firefly Nights Photography specializes in masterly lit and unique images in studio or on-location.

Firefly Nights Photography is an internationally award winning portrait photographer, winning Best Image in National Association of Professional Child Photographer’s international image competition – three times! We are also named Best Photographer by Naperville Magazine six times.  But our biggest honor happened in 2019, being named part of Team USA for the World Photographic Cup, one of only 16 photographers in the country.

Firefly Nights Photography also has a passion for working with special needs children, especially those with autism spectrum disorders. With an autistic child, herself, Megan understands how to work with children who have physical limitations, sensory or behavioral issues, as well as developmental delays. As featured on Chicago’s ABC News for her work photographing special needs children, Firefly Nights can give these families something they can’t find anywhere else. Her current experience extends to all forms of autism, Downs Syndrome, cystic fibrosis, cerebral palsy, and many other genetic/chromosomal disorders. We are also the official photographer for the Autism Society of Illinois.
