Profile

Hello, and welcome to my website, Genine Gehret Keepsake Photography–“Where the focus is on you.”

I am a retired high school career and technical education center ELA & Special Education consultant teacher by profession and a serious semi-professional photographer by default! I say that because my parents were professional photographers for over 50 years, and I finally decided to take my love of taking pictures to the next level by starting my own photography business back in 2005.

I photograph all kinds of events such as weddings, family reunions, birthdays, etc., and I do personal photo shoots, such as family and pet photos and individual photos. I also enjoy photographing beautiful scenery and nature, as seen in some of the portfolios contained here in my website. I have been fortunate enough to have some of my work recognized and displayed in a few prestigious venues.

During the autumns of 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2012 several of my photos were chosen for display at the well-known Frederic Remington Art Museum in Ogdensburg, NY, as part of an Amateurs Only Juried Art Show that was on exhibition there. My most recent entry in 2013, “Shades of Color” was also chosen to hang in the NYS juried exhibit at the museum for that season. During the summer of 2008, I was privileged to have one of my photos chosen in another Juried Art Exhibition at the Gibson Art Gallery in Potsdam, NY. My “Sun Worshiper” sunflower shot was also published in The Best of Photography Annual 2005 sponsored by Photographer’s Forum magazine. Finally, 11 of my photos earned red and blue ribbons, and won a “Best of Show” at my county’s annual fair during the summer of 2012.

If you would like to purchase any of my artistic shots shown in this website or schedule a photo shoot or an event with me, please contact me by filling out the contact form or by calling the telephone number listed in the contact information section. I look forward to creating for you a memory of special keepsake photos for your viewing pleasure.
