Redmond Remodel | Seattle, Orange County, Chicago Interior Photographer

This remodel by Susan Adams was a pleasure to photograph! Susan infused this design with hospitality-inspired details (including a Four Seasons bed!) for the homeowners who travel frequently. Designed to be a Seattle landing spot, this home renovation was complete with luxury details that make everyday living feel like a vacation. The soaking tub in the master bathroom was so dreamy!

I’ve been traveling more and more for shoots, and some of my favorite places to travel (other than my home base of Seattle) are Orange County, Los Angeles, Northern California, Chicago and Atlanta. Traveling for photography projects is so fun for me, and always leads to inspiration and different design aesthetics. There is SO much talent in the interior design industry. Creating lasting partnerships with my photography clients gives me such joy and I love to see how their personal style carries into each project.

Seattle Interior Airbnb Photography | Queen Anne

It’s a two-fer! This beautiful Queen Anne home is actually a duplex, both with stunning views of the Puget Sound. Located in my favorite part of the neighborhood (where we first lived when we moved to Seattle!), it’s a short walk from Kerry Park, Parsons Gardens and the downtown core of Upper Queen Anne. We had such fun styling this shoot, creating a dreamy tablescape (using discards from the landscapers working outside, yes, literally!). A bit of greenery goes such a long way in creating inviting images, even with short term rental photos. Bringing an Airbnb or VRBO listing to life means treating the photos like a magazine shoot. It goes way above real estate photos (whose goal is to show each room looking its biggest and brightest). In interior shoots, the goal is to create a mood on the inside. It helps a prospective guest imagine what a stay would look and feel like, inviting a little more imagination. That’s also why good interior shoots take TIME. This is a big expectation shift if your only experience previously has been real estate photos for listing. The intentionality in composition and styling is huge, and really makes the difference in stellar listing photography.

You can book this beauty right here and now on Airbnb.

Seattle & Chicago Interior Lifestyle Photographer | Airbnb & Vrbo

Tuning in with a super fresh, fun and modern Airbnb & VRBO in the heart of Seattle!

This multi-level townhouse in Eastlake offers big city views and the most incredible rooftop deck for sweeping sunsets looking over the mountains and water of Seattle. Planning your next trip to the Emerald City and on the lookout for the perfect Airbnb? We've got you covered with some friendly advice on what to keep in mind when choosing your cozy nest in this vibrant city.

1. Location, Location, Location: Seattle is a city of neighborhoods, each with its unique charm. Consider what's on your must-see list and find an Airbnb that puts you in the heart of the action. Whether you're into the artsy vibes of Capitol Hill or the scenic beauty of Queen Anne, choose a location that suits your style.

2. Modern Organic Touches: Seattle is known for its contemporary aesthetic and love for nature. Look for Airbnbs that seamlessly blend modern design with organic touches. Think big windows that let in plenty of natural light, indoor plants, and perhaps a cozy nook where you can enjoy a cup of locally brewed coffee.

3. Amenities That Wow: Make your stay extra special by checking out the amenities. A fully equipped kitchen for those who love to cook, a comfy workspace for remote work, or a rooftop deck with city views can elevate your Seattle experience. Don't forget to see if they provide essentials like Wi-Fi, toiletries, and, of course, a cozy bed!

4. Local Hosts with the Most: One of the best parts of Airbnb is connecting with local hosts who know all the hidden gems. Opt for a place where the hosts are not just property managers but also enthusiasts eager to share their love for Seattle. Their insider tips can turn your trip into an unforgettable adventure.

5. Reviews Tell the Tale: Dive into the reviews! Past guests spill the beans on what made their stay exceptional or what could be improved. It's like getting advice from friends who've been there before. Pay attention to comments on cleanliness, communication, and any unique features that made their stay memorable.

6. Flexibility Matters: Plans can change, and flexibility is key. Check the cancellation policy and house rules to ensure they align with your travel style. Some hosts offer self-check-in, giving you the freedom to arrive on your schedule.

7. Budget-Friendly Options: Seattle offers a range of Airbnb options to suit every budget. Set a realistic budget for your stay, keeping in mind any additional fees, and explore the diverse array of accommodations available.

Remember, your Airbnb is not just a place to crash; it's part of your Seattle adventure. So, go ahead, find that perfect spot that feels like a home away from home, and get ready to soak in the best of what this incredible city has to offer! Happy travels!

Warm Modern Bellevue Home | Seattle + Chicago Interior Photographer

Creating a home space that feels elevated, layered and livable is second nature to Erinn Chapman. She can see spaces in any condition and bring out the best of their potential in a way that transcends trend and infuses spaces with creativity. Anchoring spaces with great furniture pieces and strategic spatial planning, she then layers the room with accents and textiles that create a sense of home, in its most aspirational sense. These spaces are livable and invite daily use, and do not feel overly precious or staged.

I’ve photographed Erinn’s interior design and renovation projects all over the greater Seattle area. In this Bellevue home, we approached the shoot as a team (my favorite), and captured each shot with an attention to detail and composition, telling the story of her work and the inhabitants who live amongst it. I learn so much from our photoshoots, as her eye for styling is truly unmatched. As an interior photographer with projects all over the country (namely in Seattle and Chicago), my goal is to create lasting relationships with my clients to the point that the word “client” almost doesn’t cut it. (Creative collaborators? Kindred spirits in interior obsession?) Nothing fills my cup more than rolling up my sleeves on shoot days and working together to capture spaces in the most beautiful way possible, and to have a heck of a good time doing it.

Thank you always for your partnership, Erinn!
