Seattle Eastside Bright Stage by Hamilton & Co. | Interior Photography

The best part about my job (other than witnessing beautiful spaces and interiors firsthand) is meeting incredibly talented designers and stylists. Erin Vernon of Hamilton & Co. is not only a powerhouse of styling prowess, but also one of the kindest humans on the planet. Her design skills are so good that you don’t even notice the level of intentionality and detail. You know when you see something so perfectly as its whole that the smaller pieces blend in seamlessly so that you’re not looking at a collection of items but rather experiencing an entire feeling? That’s walking into one of Erin’s projects.

This stunning project on the Seattle Eastside was so much fun to photograph. Erin worked with the abundance of natural light to create an airy, light and crisp interior space that you just want to live in. Each room has its own flavor but everything works together to create a cohesive vision for a potential resident.

A Jewel Box in Seattle | Commercial Interior Photographer

Whenever Jennifer Gardner is driving the ship I always know I’m in for something fun. Jennifer does such an amazing job tailoring each project to the client’s needs, while adding her trademark to all of her designs, whether they lean more traditional or playful. The queen of a fabulous wallpaper, this project did not disappoint with not one, not two, but THREE statement wallpapers that each define a space and make it so special. Photographing her spaces is always such a joy because of the teamwork that goes into each photoshoot. Rather than checking off a list, we allow for nuance, detail and inspiration to lead us as we capture her work. We pay attention to the way light enters a space and illuminates her often colorful designs. We play with scale and accessorizing with her incredible staging kit (which is the most organized thing I’ve ever seen). The most magical photos come from collaborative and energetic teamwork and working with Jennifer is such a dream.

Coastal Kitchen | Seattle Interiors Photographer

When you think of Seattle, you may think of moody forests and mountains (which we have in droves), but we also have a huge amount of waterfront around the Puget Sound and many lakes. I headed up north near Marysville to capture this beautiful kitchen designed by Anneke McConnell.

I loved the mixture of wood tones and different stones used in this beautiful space. Mixing elements keeps the feeling dynamic and keeps your eye moving, and it also helps the space feel organic and layered. My favorite area in this space is the light-filled dining nook looking over the water. I can picture spending an entire afternoon there with a book and coffee.

Edgy-Glam Seattle Home featured in Wall Street Journal | Seattle Interiors Photographer

The Queen Anne neighborhood in Seattle is full of gorgeous old craftsman homes, tree-lined streets, and the sweetest little downtown neighborhood. When we first moved to Seattle in 2014, we were completely enchanted with the area and settled in for our first year. Taking long walks around the top perimeter of the hill, we’d take in the stunning views of the Seattle skyline and the Puget Sound, reveling in our decision to relocate to the Pacific Northwest. The area near Kerry Park was our favorite to stroll, so it felt very full circle to photograph a beautiful home in that same neighborhood for Wall Street Journal recently.

Designed by K+L Interiors and contracted by Blue Sound Construction, this edgy-glam Seattle home blends together some of the classic design of the 20th century with some strikes of modernity that give the home such a luxe and modern feel. The black drapery in the primary suite is stunning in contrast to the bright view out the window. The crown jewel of this space is the epic top floor great room which features a large walk-out deck that takes in the Seattle skyline and water to mountain views.
