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.  :)

Thank you for your talent in capturing the most precious moments in life! Any chance we could replace the nightly news with a slideshow of your pictures? ;-)

May 7, 2010 - 1:46 pm Kirstie - That first photograph is perfection, it brought a big smile to my face. I adore her confidence in the last photograph. They are incredible moving real moments full of light and life. Beautiful work.
