I go back and forth on this topic. As Brad says, it's easy to add a portfolio to a theme. The problem is that the portfolios just don't operate the way I want. I have a photography site without a portfolio right now because I don't like the small images that go with the Minimum theme portfolio.
When I want someone to look at a collection of my work, I want it large enough to smack them in the face. Looking at all of the photography/portfolio themes in the Genesis stable, I can't say there's a single one that I would choose. I truly like Minimum for my blog, but it's not great at showing my photos.

William, I was struggling with the default WordPress Gallery as well but then found this solution.
Could you use this + by choosing say a page without sidebars, manually set your thumbnails to as large as you want to use as your Portfolio page?

Plus, this is responsive. Works across all the various devices I have access to.
You can change the display to 50% so each image takes up half the content width and make the images larger.
@Mealtog - Thanks, I'll take a look.
@braddalton - Have you ever looked at the Gleam theme from Elegant Themes? What I truly want is something like that - full page with no bleed, except my menu bar at the top. Now that's a portfolio page. If only I could hook that kind of photo display into Minimum Pro.
One of the 3rd party vendors has a Genesis theme with a somewhat similar screen display for the photo, but they screw it up in other ways that make it unacceptable to me.
