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.  :)

 

for no reason other than love

as a collective society, i don’t believe we take enough time to appreciate and honor the love that exists in our lives. we are too busy and too distracted with work, technology, and things; but that is all nonsense. the distractions fail to compare to what is really most important: love, in all its capacities and forms. making these photographs, even for someone else, gave me a reason at the end of the day to squeeze my husband a little tighter and to see him more clearly. take time out today to hang on to the ones you love – with your arms and eyes wide open.
