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.
