As a Southern California native, Genie was born to shred the lens. From a very early age she has been involved with music, art and nightlife culture and started using a small film camera to document family vacations; her presence behind the camera together with her droll, quick witted sass quickly made her a favorite in L.A.'s nightlife, often associated as The Sunset Strips' Photographer and noted for her extensive work with TheSunsetStrip.com, as well as the City of West Hollywood and the Sunset Strip Music Festival, along with the world famous venues that call the strip home.

This night owl is a hired gun and has an extensive client list including notorious Hollywood heavy hitters like the Dolce Group, world class night clubs like Playhouse and Les Deux, as well as famous venues like The Playboy Mansion & The Viper Room as their house photographer; many local and national acts like The Jonas Brothers and Samantha Maloney [Hole, Peaches, Motley Crue] have called upon her as their own personal photographer. Additionally her work with many up and coming bands is often credited as the first to have not only been photographed but also cited as helping to create and cultivate a musicians visual style.

Major brands and establishments like Jack Daniels, Izze, Kraft Foods, Angels & Kings, Pink Taco and Great Northern Brewing Co. have joined her client list also. Her art has graced the pages of AP Magazine, Metal Hammer, Guitar Player, Terrorizer and XXL Magazine, among others.

Whether at a fashion shoot, in her studio, on-location or in the pit, Genie utilizes her intuition & talent to ignite her genius & creativity. From the lens, to the kitchen, to the bench, her talent pours over. You can find her designs, inpired by the occult, living wild and free & heavy metal at www.WildHeathen.com

Her magic is to shine light on the monumental moments that humans share. Magic is everywhere and her balance of time and light reveal the beauty. She seizes the loud, intimate, raw excitement, and in-your-face emotions of bands and events & her portraiture showcases the integrity & valiant characteristics of her subjects.

Genie splits her time between her home in Los Angeles and the open road, discovering all that America has to offer. She drinks tea, is obsessed with her German Shepherd, likes to party and enjoys listening to Danzig, Suicidal Tendencies & Judas Priest albums on candy cigarette breaks.
