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.

Asri Homes Launch Collection in Chicago | Commercial Interior Photography

Every so often, I get the chance to collaborate on a project that aligns perfectly with my passion for storytelling through photography and design. When Asri Homes reached out to photograph their launch collection, I knew it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. Their vision of blending sustainable, modern luxury with timeless design resonates deeply with my approach to capturing interiors and lifestyle moments.

Though I’m based in Seattle, my commercial photography projects take me far and wide to capture the essence of brands and individuals. The project took me to my hometown, Chicago, a city known for its iconic architecture and vibrant creative scene. The excitement of boarding the flight wasn’t just about heading to my favorite city—it was about working with a company where sustainability and innovation in design takes center stage. Asri Homes embodies this spirit, creating spaces that are both aspirational and inviting. Asri partners with artisans with family-owned workshops to create their pieces, which you truly have to see to believe (throwing no shade to my own photography work here!).

Asri Homes is redefining the modern home experience in the sustainable space. Their launch collection is a stunning representation of thoughtful design, where every detail—from the textures and materials to the flow of the spaces—is meticulously crafted by hand. These pieces are not just pretty objects to live with; they are pieces that inspire, connect, and elevate everyday living.

The photoshoot itself was so much fun. Each piece told its own story, and my goal was to translate that narrative into imagery. The shoot was very much lifestyle-oriented, focusing on how these pieces invite elevated everyday living. The Asri team was so fabulous and the shoot felt like being with old friends.

With Asri, I styled vignettes to emphasize the aspirational yet attainable quality of the collection. From cozy reading nooks bathed in natural light to open-concept spaces designed for gathering, every shot aimed to highlight the personality and functionality of the collection. The Asri team was incredible to work with, and their attention to detail comes through not only in their collection, but in the production of the shoot environment. We captured this collection at Subtle Haus, a beautiful co-working space and creative studio downtown. The floor-to-ceiling windows made for such beautiful natural light.

This project was a true highlight of my year, and I’m excited to see how Asri Homes continues to shape the landscape of modern living. If you’re as inspired by their vision as I am, I encourage you to explore their collection here.

Thank you, Asri Homes, for trusting me to capture the heart of your launch collection. Here’s to more opportunities to tell the stories of extraordinary spaces!

Laurelhurst Renovation | Seattle Interior Photographer

I’m so excited to share this renovation with you today! In one of the historic neighborhoods of Seattle, this home got a full lower level refresh with a new kitchen, living room and dining room. It’s beautifully designed for its resident, a baker (who graced us with scones on the shoot day — they were props and then became our snacks!). I worked with the Seattle interior design team Corr & Steele on this shoot day. A wonderful pair, we collaborated on making each shot just perfect.

My approach to photography is all about collaboration and creativity. I focus on maintaining consistency in my work through careful composition, natural lighting, and elevated styling. The best shoots happen when both my client and I enjoy the process of capturing beautiful spaces. I'm passionate about what I do, and shoot days are always enjoyable. By shooting tethered to a screen, we can make small adjustments to styling and composition, resulting in inviting, editorial-quality images. When it comes to editing, I prefer a clean and natural style, with minimal use of Photoshop tricks. I achieve a bright and natural light look without the use of flash, which I feel makes for a flattened image.

I’m based in Seattle but take projects all over! I was recently in Orange County and Atlanta, and often take photography projects in my hometown of Chicago. The best thing about traveling for interior photography work is seeing how architecture and design styles vary depending on the location.

Phinney Modern Tudor | Seattle Interior Photographer

This modern Tudor in Seattle’s Phinney Ridge neighborhood is a spectacular example of what happens when a good design and build team put their minds together to create an entirely new space. I couldn’t believe the way they changed the layout of this residence in every single way, still preserving the historical Tudor aesthetic of the home, but making it a way better place to live for the modern era. I don’t think I could pick a favorite spot, but how gorgeous is that entry?! The wallpaper and painted paneling make it such a great way to enter the home every day, and especially when greeted by sweet Nelson (spot her?).

The design was created by Kallan Nelson of Kallan Interiors. Kallan is highly experienced in residential design and it was fun to pick her brain about her process on this project:

"When our clients came to us needing help remodeling their charming 1929 Tudor home, it was clear it needed quite the overhaul but we wanted to make sure it didn't lose its character. We did this by adding archways in the entry and kitchen, selecting timeless finishes like the entry wallpaper and white oak hardwood floors, and keeping with an overall neutral color palette with the occasional pop of color. The guest bathroom being the exception as we saw this as being a fun area to go a little crazy and add mauve tile wainscoting as this was one the clients favorite colors."

The build was done by RW Anderson Homes, and left no detail untended to. The craftsmanship in this home is top notch.

I was really inspired by the arched doorways when photographing this space. Architectural details like this help delineate spaces and create natural opportunities for photo vignettes. These details create visual frames, making glimpses from room to room an actual picture. In my natural light approach to interior photography, one of the challenges is representing the light of a space accurately as it appears to the eye. This involves some technical footwork in capturing many exposures of the same composition and blending them together in my editing software. This creates a true-to-life impression of the space and honors the way the design intended for light to enter the home.

Hope you enjoy this beautiful project!
