Nab a quickie with me on August 23 at The Newport Studio for an update on your professional headshots! (Link in bio)

Two years ago I had a goal of photographing pole shows—now I have enough portraits of incredible pole artists to make their own tab on my website 🥹 (go check it out at genitophoto.com/pole!)

Big thanks to Velvet&Chrome Chicago for hosting a moody pole mini day, and for rose for being a great muse!!

The iconic Pettie Spaghetti wearing the iconic biblically accurate angel headpiece by Josh 🪽

This is a model I trust to pull up with a suitcase of outfit choices I’ve never seen before, and have something that works perfectly. 😩

I did have to learn some new photoshop techniques for this, but it was worth it. 🫡

Proud of Chicago’s very own for taking the stage this weekend!!

(Very grateful I got to see this act live on stage before Vegas! The stage presence was everything!! I remember telling someone next to me it was PEAK Dahlia!)

Photos by in the with a bunch of stands and fabrics and a dream lol

Today’s diva is the notorious Nutmegan, from what I believe was my first time photographing a show at .nightclub — their spotlights were so fun to work with 🤩

I’ve been photographing shows in different venues lately, and I’m loving the challenge of new light set ups! Some are much less forgiving than I’m used to (and by that I mean it’s dark af) but when they give, they GIVE. The drama of these flares and spotlights have me lowkey drooling 😩

The way I’ve been hearing ’s name in rooms she isn’t in, from people just gushing about her (unprompted) lately, is unmatched. ♥️

I am SLOWLY converting my website and photo delivery site to other platforms, but it will be tedious and clunky (but ultimately worth it). Balancing two social media accounts and an endless roster of edits has got my eyes begging for non-screen time 😭 (I just got myself a fancy new puzzle board…). But I’m doing my best to keep up, prioritize properly, and not let quality suffer! (💀)
