Genia Larionova
Hi and welcome!
My name is Genia. I was born and raised in Kiev, Ukraine, but I living in Atlanta, GA now.
Every morning, I wake up anticipating exciting situations that I’ve had created for myself.
My main vision is to be surrounded by enthusiastic, passionate, and innovative people.

I am a happy person – a mother of adorable twin girls Sonia and Lilia, a loved and loving woman, and a co-owner of our family business – commercial photography studio AKELstudio.
I am a digital artist and retoucher who is passionate about Photoshop.
This blog helps photographers add the last but very important touch to their photos to make the pictures masterpieces.
I am writing my blogs to inspire people and motivate them to start modeling the future according to their dreams. You can read my other blog www.kapreez.com to get more ideas.

I truly believe that our thoughts create our reality and future, and that our environment affects us. But I am sure we are able to create and manage the life we want.
Do you want to be optimistic and happy?
Surround yourself with happy people and read positive books, blogs etc.
Do you want to be rich or have the lifestyle like rich people do?
Find wealthy friends and become useful for them or create a useful product.
Do you want to be the best designer?
Surround yourself only with stylish and beautiful things or redesign your old things.
Do you want to be a top photographer or retoucher?
Check the best photographic work from the best photographers and retouchers every day, and your subconsciousness will store only the greatest sources to stimulate your creativity.

Usually, “About” page starts from past life and experience. Marketers teach that people want to hear remarkable stories from the past, yet I have a different story:-) I don’t live in the past. I am a forward thinker.
I’d better tell you the story of my future:-)
That’s what I want and plan to do, and what I am doing now:
Build a successful business where I and people working with me are happy to do what we are doing;
Give my kids the best possible education and training for future life;
Build a hi tech well designed house for my family in a place I choose;
Invest to genetic study;
Invest to enlightenment and education;
Help talented people to be noticed.
One day, I want to meet these remarkable and talented people, and I am working now to be interesting for them too:-)
My future story can be adjusted any time if I want so, unlike the past story:-) So, this page will be modified.

My personality type is INTJ or “Rational-Mastermind” (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)).
“There are less than 1% of others in the world with the INTJ personality type.
That means I am often misunderstood.
It was a great relief to discover my “Rational-Mastermind” diagnosis because it brings years of experience into a new and satisfying light.» ~ David W. Boles
David W. Boles, who has the same personality type, described himself very well. I can agree with every word he wrote. If somebody wants to read and understand more about my personality type, read David’s post . I think it will be interesting mainly for my close friends and relatives. But anyway, I want to keep the link to the descriptions on this page.
