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...

a day in the life..

this is a very special family that i really miss seeing on a regular basis.  we use to see each other a few times a week at santa monica gymnastics, where i use to teach.  you can catch a glimpse of miss A.’s reminiscences of the gym in one of the photos below. once you’re a gymnast, it’s so hard to stop.  i can completely relate, and my heart melted when i caught her doing an L hold on the edge of the table before she hopped off.  she is also an awesome artist! i was so impressed with her work and so happy to bring home a handful of her drawings!

and then there’s little miss N. pictured below who just turned the big ONE! i don’t have any words for this amount of cuteness..

and this is miss C..  the sweetest little girl you could ever meet. she was born with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome and is such an inspiration.  i love these quiet moments..

May 14, 2009 - 10:36 pm Kimberly - These are just beautiful. I love how you captured each child's personality. The picture of C. playing on the floor will forever be a reminder of this time in her life. I want A. to have the picture of her holding C. when she grows up, so I can remind her what an awesome big sister she is. You can almost see little N's mind figuring out the world in these pictures. I can't wait to see more. Thank you so much for sharing the day with our family.

May 14, 2009 - 11:29 pm Teri - thank you, kimberly! it was so wonderful to spend the day together - your family is an inspiration! A. is such an awesome big sister and i was thrilled when i captured that moment.. i knew it would be special. and i have to tell you, i'm missing C.'s tight hugs already! hope to see you guys again soon. thanks again!

May 17, 2009 - 10:39 pm wordsmith - C and A and N are growing like weeds!!! K looks the same- a beautiful, loving mom. The photos are very evocative of their essence. It's like you captured a story in each photo, and I can picture movement and conversation, and what might have been going on.

May 17, 2009 - 11:08 pm Teri - thank you michael! it's very encouraging to know that you can see their essence in the photos. that was definitely my ultimate goal! it's very different (in a wonderful way) to photograph a family i've known for awhile. :)
