Traveling to Green Bay, Wisconsin, for this lakefront renovation was an absolute dream. Partnering with Designs of the Interior (DOTI) and DeLeers Construction, we documented a massive, high-end overhaul over two full days of photography and video. From the moment I arrived, it was clear this was going to be a special project: the team’s energy, attention to detail, and styling expertise made every shot a joy to create.

This was a luxury property at its finest — sleek, modern finishes paired with warm, inviting textures, all taking full advantage of lake views and natural light. Working alongside the DOTI team, we tweaked each frame shot by shot, experimenting with angles, light, and composition to ensure the images truly captured the feeling of living in the space. Every corner of this renovation told a story, and my job was to make it sing through both photography and video.

Collaborating in person with the DOTI team was one of the highlights of the trip — we even went for dinner together, celebrating the space, the design, and the process. I genuinely appreciated how much thought and care they put into styling and presenting the home, and how open they were to collaboration. It’s rare to find clients who are both insanely talented and incredibly fun to work with, and I feel lucky to have documented this project with them.

As a Seattle-based interior photographer with Chicago roots, I love traveling for projects like this across the Midwest. Projects like this allow me to bring my natural-light, lifestyle-focused approach to homes that are both aspirational and deeply personal. Photography and video work hand-in-hand to capture architecture, interiors, and the lived-in feeling that makes a house a home.

This project was a big deal — a luxury lakefront renovation, two full days of shooting, and a truly collaborative creative process. But more than that, it was a reminder of why I love what I do: telling stories of space, light, and lifestyle in ways that feel real, elevated, and human.

Newport Haven: A Modern Retreat by MacPherson Construction

Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to photograph Newport Haven, one of MacPherson Construction’s standout projects. Located on the Eastside of Seattle, this home is a stunning blend of modern elegance and functionality, embodying the essence of luxurious city living.

Newport Haven was designed with a focus on seamless indoor-outdoor living. The architectural elements, from expansive glass walls to the carefully curated material palette, create a harmonious connection between the home and its dynamic urban surroundings. Every detail, from the open-concept living spaces to the spa-like bathrooms, reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and innovation.

My goal for this project was to capture the feeling of this dramatic and sweeping space. Each image was composed to highlight the property’s unique features, such as its sleek modern kitchen, unique bathroom, incredible vaulted ceiling and bespoke light fixtures. The natural light pouring into the home played a starring role in the shoot, accentuating the clean lines and high-end finishes that define MacPherson Construction’s work.

What sets Newport Haven apart is its ability to balance luxury with a sense of home. Whether it’s the serene primary suite, the Batman-inspired office, or the entertainment-ready outdoor spaces, this property is designed to elevate everyday living while making a bold architectural statement. Collaborating with MacPherson Construction was an inspiring experience—their dedication to excellence is evident in every corner of this home.

Newport Haven isn’t just a house; it’s a lifestyle. Photographing this masterpiece was a privilege, and I’m thrilled to have contributed to showcasing its beauty and craftsmanship.
