A Closer Look at a Custom Home by Azori

I recently worked with Azori (formerly MN Custom Homes) to create a video walkthrough of a completed home in Kirkland, Washington.

I love the opportunity to document a home beyond still photography. Video offers a different perspective, capturing how spaces connect, how the light moves through a home, and the small details that make a project feel finished.

For builders, it's also a great way to give prospective clients a better sense of their work beyond a portfolio of finished images.

Photography Meets Motion

My approach to residential photography is rooted in natural light, thoughtful composition, and an editorial perspective. I want the finished images to feel considered without losing the character of the space.

Video builds on that same approach, giving viewers a sense of the home's layout and flow while highlighting the design details along the way.

Together, photography and video give builders a versatile collection of content to use across their websites, social media, and marketing materials.

Working with Custom Home Builders

I work with builders, architects, and interior designers to create photography and video that showcase their projects in a way that feels true to their work.

Whether it's a newly completed home or an ongoing portfolio of projects, my goal is to create imagery that feels timeless, cohesive, and useful well beyond the initial project launch.

Thanks to the team at Azori for bringing me in to document this home.

Based in Seattle, I work with residential and design-focused brands throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

When McKith Interiors and Herron Homes invited me to photograph this beautifully crafted Seattle residence, the creative direction was clear: highlight the modern architectural details, honor the classic design elements, and celebrate the warm, lived-in elegance that both teams brought to life. This home is a seamless blend of thoughtful construction and refined styling — the kind of environment where clean lines, layered textures, and timeless choices work together effortlessly.

From the moment I stepped inside, the abundant windows and long, uninterrupted sight lines created a natural openness that was a dream to capture. Herron Homes’ architectural execution made every angle feel intentional, offering dynamic pathways for light to travel and revealing new layers within the space. Each room held a perspective where materials, textures, and structure interacted in quietly dramatic ways — the kind of detail that makes Seattle interior photography so rewarding.

Styling and furnishing from McKith Interiors added another dimension of depth and narrative. The mix of cozy, tactile accents and elevated, sophisticated pieces expressed the dual personality of the home: warm and inviting, yet undeniably polished. It’s the kind of design that feels luxurious without feeling precious — a space meant to be lived in, lingered in, and appreciated from every viewpoint. Haley, the owner and creative director, has a knack for blending vintage and antique items with contemporary high-end pieces to create an intelligent, wise, and inviting atmosphere.

As a Seattle interior photographer, I always prioritize natural light, and this project was no exception. Photographing the home entirely in natural light brought out its true essence — the softness of fabrics, the authenticity of tones, and the way sunlight shifts across surfaces throughout the day. Natural light reveals honest texture and color, allowing the construction details from Herron Homes and the furnishing and styling choices from McKith Interiors to shine in a way that feels real and connected to how the home is actually experienced.

This project wasn’t just documentation; it was visual storytelling. A celebration of modern design grounded in classic elements, elevated through expert craftsmanship and thoughtful interior styling. It’s the kind of collaboration that reminds me why I love Seattle interior photography — capturing spaces that feel warm, human, inspired, and beautifully layered, with every angle thoughtfully composed to reflect the character and lifestyle of the home.
