Welcome
OUR MISSION | EMPOWERMENT. JUSTICE. WELL-BEING
To tell visual stories that inspire us to the core and move the soul to action.
StoryPortrait Media is a documentary film company led by photographer and documentary filmmaker Genevieve Russell. Based in Santa Fe, NM, StoryPortrait Media produces visual storytelling content; photography, documentary film, and socially engaged public art projects, for visionary leaders, organizations, businesses, and artists working towards the empowerment, justice, and well-being of all.
The heart of our work is visual storytelling. Our documentary team uncovers the depth, breadth and inspiration of our clients’ unique mission, and then pairs character-driven narrative with intimate and stunning visuals. The resulting documentary video and still photography packages are succinct and engaging, transforming messages from words on a page (or screen) to intimate and compelling visual and emotional experiences.

What inspires us and why we do our work:
In every community across the nation, there are stories of change. There are mothers and fathers with ideas of how to make the world a better place for their children. There are advocates, activists and policy makers in state capitals and on Capitol Hill working tirelessly to create laws that ensure equal rights, social justice, clean water and air, environmental protection. There are non-profit organizations, and the donors who support them, providing services to children, families, farmers and those in need, and for-profit ventures developing products that seek to take into consideration a healthy planet, workforce, and local economy. We are rising up to create a new story. And with the internet and social media, these stories can now find their way and transform apathy into action.
StoryPortrait Media aligns with individuals, organizations, businesses, and artists who are on the leading edge of social evolution – that's you! Your personal story, or the story of your organization, has the power to inspire audiences to act. StoryPortrait Media wants to help you deliver it visually, authentically, and with greatest impact to ensure that your story will make a difference. And, like a song, we'll fill every avenue of communication with life-affirming examples of people succeding at creating a better way of life, for all.
Now is the time to shine. Let's work together.
