Testimonials
"As a small business owner, having such high-quality photos of the work I do adds professionalism to my business, and encourages customers to engage. Storytelling is crucial for a small local business, because it shows what sets us aside from corporate America. My customers work with me because my business has values, is mission driven, is woman-owned, and offers unparalleled quality. Genevieve conveys these elements that make my business so unique and special through her photography."
Nina Yozell-Epstein, Founder | Director Squash Blossom Local Food Inc.
"I would simply say that the images we created together of my products, have made social media feel easy - because when you have a gorgeous image for Instagram, which is what I use primarily, the rest is dead simple. All I have to add is the facts about the product, I don’t have to work as hard to make the product appeal, because the images make my customers say “ooooh! I want to try that! The strong images I have created with Genevieve and StoryPortrait Media sell the feeling of what people want in their lives—beauty, warmth, deliciousness and self-care. When people think of Mamayurveda and Mamayurveda Medicinals, I believe they will remember the exquisiteness they saw in those images.”

"I am so impressed with Genevieve’s ability to be innovative with each project she takes on. She comprehends the scope of work; captures the perfect views of Design with Nature’s gardens in order to communicate their totality as well as their nuance; and produces exquisite garden photographs. The images are beautifully organized in our company’s portfolio, which has helped potential clients know that we’re the right company for them. Clients frequently say, “Will our new garden get to be in the portfolio?” Genevieve designed our website, a mini-version of the portfolio, in a very elegant and easy format that expresses more about Design with Nature than only images can portray. All in all, I think Genevieve is a real talent and helped our company be very successful. "

"Genevieve exceeded expectations on the web design and photography for the Jazz of Enchantment project spotlighting New Mexico jazz musicians. Each of the featured artists raved about her professionalism and were truly impressed with her images, which always seem to strike straight to the heart of a viewer. Her portraiture was imaginative. Her performance photos captured the swing, power and emotion of jazz. Her website design was perfect for our needs. What started as an addendum to the radio series, turned into a powerful lasting legacy of the project online. I couldn't have been more pleased in every step of the process with her."

"The video was created in a timeless way that has felt appropriate for me to continue to display proudly over time. The investment has been returned many times over. The video is completely aligned with my brand and style as a photographer and feels completely genuine for my business. I am proud to share it with others. Genevieve is a gem. She is a smart, creative artist with an absolutely collaborative approach to the process. The process was important for me and helped me to further clarify my vision for my business. She made it fun and was always easy to work with."

"We have shown Eldon's DVD so many times to friends and relatives, and they have been blown away with it. He is so admired in so many areas, and this DVD just confirms how they feel about him. I wanted to tell you that we just had a big athletic reunion on Sunday with many of his college teammates, and we showed them the DVD. It brought tears to the eyes of many of them, and they were all wanting to get a DVD of this . . . he means so much to so many of them."

"I just wanted to let you now how much I still enjoy and am touched by the beautiful album, photos you did of us a few years ago. I was cleaning up this morning and took the album down to look through it.....just brought back so many tender memories and the joy I felt with Greer and Sophia being so young but blossoming in so many ways. I love that closeup shot of Sophia by herself with her hair blowing in front of her face....she looks peaceful and yet a force to be reckoned with. And I love the image of Greer on her bike and the one of her laying across Robert's chest. Thank you for doing what you do, Genevieve. It is important work and touches me in that most beautiful, heartfelt place deep within."

"It resonates with the energy and presence I want people to feel when they look at my work—as well as the kind of clients I want to attract. The result is that I have a beautiful website that feels vibrant and alive and I reach my divine right clients with these images and messaging."

"Waldorf is a difficult curriculum and education to document, it’s really even difficult to put into words and Genevieve was able to capture that in her video and her photographs. It was remarkable because there’s a magic in Waldorf and the composition, the lighting and the subject. She captures the magic and the joy that the kids have in their every day learning."

"Genevieve’s works is so intuitive that it’s instinctive and not calculated, but carefully thought out. She sees the beauty in lighting a candle, breathing in. When you are done, there is something special about it that is Genevieve."

“When I worked with Genevieve to shoot my product line, we brought in a model, used the products, the ingredients, chai tea and the cup. It was really beautiful the way she captured that essence of my business. I always get comments and compliments about my photography because they think it’s amazing. She did an amazing job.”

"Many of us have videos and photos of our family member, however anything we shoot is flavored by our own perceptions and expectations. Our loved one's demeanor is influenced by family dynamics and history. I would urge families to take advantage of Genevieve's special skills as a listener. Upon their first meeting, my father immediately felt like he had known her for years. She creates a safe environment that let's the individual go with the flow of his own thoughts and express what's important to him. The product is a true picture from the loved one's point of view. The piece she did on my father is short, but priceless. I especially appreciate that Genevieve didn't steer him in any particular direction. I'm not interested in his reminiscences of family history; we have plenty recorded already. - This short portrait of my father gives the essence of whom he thought himself to be. I thank Genevieve for that. "
