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.

Those are the moments I strive to capture...

I traveled down to Encinitas a couple of Saturdays ago to meet the most awesome family! Both parents not only grew up in Southern California beach towns, but they currently live on the beach… so, it only made sense to photograph them there. Encinitas happens to be the coolest beach I’ve ever seen,...

“we take ourselves too seriously”

t-3

This was an evident theme in my yoga class this morning taught by Govindas (an amazing, amazing yoga instructor at SMPY).
