Teri Genovese Photography Blog bio picture

in a nutshell:

I am a documentarian at heart.  Observing the subtle beauty amidst everyday life, near and far, inspires me to no end.  I specialize in creating genuine portraits of childhood and families, and dream of documenting people and cultures around the world. 

I received a BA in photography from Columbia College Chicago in 2003, where I learned the traditional craft - in the darkroom.  My work has since been published in the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Parent Magazine, Los Angeles Times.com, Chicago Public Radio.com, and countless Chicago Children's Museum publications. 

I currently live and work in Grand Rapids, Michigan and travel regularly to Los Angeles, California (where my business began).  I live for yoga, hiking, weekend road trips, a good book, simplicity, and anything chocolate.  :)

 

happy holidays!

i hope everyone has a holiday season filled with laughter, love, family, friends, great food, and lots of rest!

i am taking a restful vacation from my photography business until Monday, January 7th. all emails and phone calls will be returned after this date. i will begin scheduling 2008 sessions when i return in January. (the first available weekend for January sessions is Jan. 18th-20th.)

one of my goals for the new year is to get back to shooting for art’s sake. i’ve struggled with expressing my artistic side (non-portraits) since i’ve made the switch to digital a year ago. for an early xmas present for myself i bought this all plastic toy camera. a replica of the 1960s Diana Camera, which takes medium format film. stay tuned for some experimental photography using this little beauty. i’m also going to return to my love of making fine art one of a kind polaroid transfers and emulsion lifts. my goal is to share some work on my blog as i explore. perhaps i’ll eventually show or sell the work, or i might just file the prints away. i’ve always been a private little art maker. :)

December 22, 2007 - 7:58 am Jennifer - well, good luck and I am sure you will find the art again!

December 29, 2007 - 2:43 pm The WordSmith from Nantucket - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

My voice was shot the last two days, as I got sick over Christmas (I blame the kids climbing all over me, and myself for allowing the kids to climb all over me).

I can't believe this is the last camp for SMGC!

Does that toy camera actually take pictures?
