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...

Fine Art Ocean Coastal Photograph  |  Carmel, California

“i am at the beach alone, quite literally.
pondering why i haven’t done this before.
listening to the waves as they pound in
unexpectedly, yet like clockwork.
as i look down at my page,
the sound intimidates me
and fills me with a rush of energy.
‘i’m alive,’ my heart says.”

-excerpt from my journal

i went to sit and write at the beach...

where the wild things are portrait

Have you seen Where the Wild Things Are? I loved it. I saw it about a month ago and it keeps coming back to my mind. I loved the emotion, the symbolism, the imagery, and most of all, I loved when the wild things would jump into their pile and fall asleep....
