Spending the day in West Seattle shooting with Haley, the founder of McKith Interiors, was such a reminder of why I love working so closely with designers. We approached every shot together, carefully styling and adjusting the spaces to create a relaxed, lifestyle-driven feel that stayed true to McKith’s clean, timeless aesthetic.

Haley’s vision for interiors is so thoughtful—layered, neutral, and elevated without ever feeling too perfect—and it made styling each corner such an intuitive process. We’d tweak a throw here, adjust a table setting there, constantly looking for that balance between polished and approachable. The natural light pouring into this West Seattle home was a dream to work with, highlighting the beautiful textures and calm palette that McKith Interiors is known for.

As a Seattle interior photographer, these collaborative projects are some of my favorites—where the final gallery doesn’t just document a space but really brings it to life. I’m so excited to share a few of my favorite images from this shoot with Haley and McKith Interiors. You can learn more about their design work at mckithinteriors.com.

Photographing this Traditional Sunlit Kitchen, designed by Board & Vellum, was such a rewarding experience. The space is filled with natural light and balances traditional detailing with a fresh, livable feel. Every element — from the soft white cabinetry to the warm wood accents — was chosen to create a kitchen that feels timeless without being too formal.

The design layers classic features like detailed millwork, a custom range hood, and subtle marble textures with a layout that feels open and connected. The darker island grounds the space while the lighter countertops and backsplash keep it bright and easygoing. It’s the kind of kitchen that feels welcoming from the first step in — elegant but approachable, with thoughtful touches everywhere you look.

Triple Bottom Line Construction, a Seattle-based builder I've worked with many times, brought the design to life with beautiful craftsmanship and attention to every detail. Their work consistently makes a space feel solid and intentional, which always comes through in the final photographs.

As a Seattle interior photographer, I’m always drawn to projects like this — where great design, natural materials, and quality construction come together to create spaces that feel both beautiful and lived in. It was a joy to capture the way the light moved through this kitchen and the sense of calm the design naturally brings.
