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.  :)

 

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…
