Jenelle Bonifield
Photographer and Designer
A photographer and designer based in metropolitan Phoenix, Jenelle Bonifield loves to roam throughout Arizona’s wine regions capturing images of vineyards and winemaking. With a background in graphic design and motion graphics, Bonifield always enjoyed photography and became a professional photographer as a second career specializing in farm-to-table images. As a wine lover, her interest in Arizona wine began in 2010 when her friends launched a vineyard and winery in the foothills of the Chiricahua Mountains in southeastern Arizona, LDV Winery.
Working alongside her husband Tom, the Bonifield’s design company, Green Rabbit Design Studio, was the recipient of more than 20 local, national, and international industry awards, including Telly, Worldfest, Creativity International, and ITVA awards. Her photographs have been published in AAA/Via Travel Magazine, Sunset Magazine, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, WhereTraveler, Arizona Food & Wine, Valley Guide, Images Arizona, Paradise Valley Lifestyles, Edible Phoenix, Uptown Magazine and Experience Scottsdale, as well as on the Visit Arizona website. Her photographs are on display at several tasting rooms across the state.
In London, Bonifield was announced Errazuriz Wine Photographer of the Year in the 2016 Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year’s produce category with an image of pressing Grenache grapes, “Press 2,” taken at LDV Winery. More than 7000 images from 60 countries were submitted.
More recently, Bonifield was invited to join the prestigious Les Dames d’ Escoffier International (LDEI) Phoenix Chapter. LDEI is an international organization of women leaders who create a supportive culture in their communities to achieve excellence in the food, fine beverage and hospitality fields. It is her goal to further promote Arizona wine through this opportunity.
Bonifield’s true passion is photographing and documenting the beauty of Arizona’s vineyards and hearing the stories of winery owners and winemakers.
