Teri Genovese Photography Blog bio picture

in a nutshell:

I am hopelessly sentimental and love creating art by documenting the beauty I perceive in life.  I live for yoga, hiking, weekend road trips, a good book, keeping a daily journal, and anything chocolate.  :)

As a Los Angeles based freelance photographer, I specialize in documentary children's portraits and fine art photography.  I received a BA in photography from Columbia College Chicago in 2003.  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. 

inspiration:

There is a quiet beauty all around us every day.  It is so often overlooked, but magical when seen.  Photography is a gift that has always inspired me to truly see and appreciate life’s subtleties… those heart-wrenchingly beautiful moments in everyday life that make you pause and feel utterly grateful. 

Those are the moments I strive to capture...

6 1/2 months of joy..

i search for meaning and fulfillment in everything i do. when i teach, i naturally feel fulfilled by the tiniest of challenges overcome by the kids i work with. when i see their confidence soar, i feel so grateful and proud that i am a part of their excitement and growth.

with photography, it happens in different ways at different times. saturday’s session was a perfect example of a wonderful, meaningful experience.

it is very important to Jenny that she have pictures of herself with her baby, Della, since that is something she doesn’t have of her and her mom. because her mother is no longer with us, i knew i had a very special and important responsibility. my goal was to honestly capture the love and joy i witnessed between this mother and daughter. in experiencing their love, my heart filled up with so much of it as well.

this is one of those sessions that makes me so proud to do what i do, that brings me such joy and inspiration to keep going, and that truly fulfills me to the core. thank you for inviting me in…
