Transitional New Build | Seattle Interior Photographer

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.

Queen Anne Modern Tudor | Seattle Interior Photography

The very first neighborhood my husband and I lived in when we moved to Seattle was Queen Anne. Known for its stunning historic homes, we often enjoyed long walks through the neighborhood to take in the charm. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing one of these beauties and am so excited to share it with you.

Keeping with the classic style of the home, Laura Libby of Edition 82 spearheaded the design on this project. She managed to maintain the original spirit while working in pops of design that surprise and delight (see: that hallway wallpaper). This project really came to life through attention to detail in every aspect. From the custom woodworking to the light fixtures and hardware, everything tells a story and invites further inquiry.

We photographed this project on a moody autumn morning using natural light wherever possible. Even on the darkest of days, it’s very possible to achieve well-lit images through an HDR-driven approach. Most images in my portfolio are actually composites, where many images are layered together and blended to achieve the final look. This ensures the lighting is well-balanced, ambient, and inviting.

Enjoy this beautiful space!

Seattle Architectural Photographer | Colman Park Renovation

Seattle has no shortage of fabulous midcentury architecture. When attempting a full scale renovation, Office of Ordinary does an amazing job of preserving historical details (or emulating them if adding new elements). This home in Seattle’s Colman Park neighborhood sits high up in the trees on one of Seattle’s many steep hills. This gives the opportunity for a real tree-house vibe, which was achieved with great skill in this project.

My favorite part of this home is the new banquette dining area, which was a new addition to this home. With wraparound windows and seating, it feels like you’re really in a treehouse (with far better insulation). ;)

In capturing this home, we kept with a natural light approach, which highlighted the soft green glow from the outdoors. Allowing natural light to guide the way does pose some challenges (I have to do quite a bit of post-production work for these images to be successful), but it always feels like the right choice in telling the truth of the space, capturing light, and creating an inviting mood.

This beautiful project was recently featured on Amazing Architecture, where you can see more details about the renovation process, view the floorpans, and learn more about Office of Ordinary.

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.
