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.  :)

 

living with grace, patience, and hope..

Since it is the day after Memorial Day, it only seems fitting to post about this amazing couple. Alexis is currently serving the US Air Force on assignment in Las Vegas, away from her husband, Justin, who is a teacher in Los Angeles. I can’t even begin to express my admiration for the ease in which they have handled this time of their lives.. living apart with a new baby. I know they are counting down the days until Alexis begins her next assignment this summer and will move back to her home in Los Angeles. I have an incredible amount of respect for the challenges that military families endure and the strength it requires to carry on with such grace, patience, and hope.

It also amazes me that Alexis prioritized this newborn photography session amidst traveling between Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Michigan, and Alabama with her 6 week old in tow. Like so many events in life, it may seem that there might always be a better time, but this new Mom is beyond inspirational! It is all about declaring value and deciding what is important, holding back from excuses and making time for the little things..
