Cle Elum Vacation Rental | Seattle Hospitality Photographer

When it comes to vacation rentals that have everything you need to travel comfortably as a family, Digs Co. has it down pat. We’ve been traveling with them since before our first was born and now as a family of four. In each of the many properties that they host, you can find a welcome basket full to the brim, high-quality finishes and decor, ultra-comfy beds, and luxury perks like hot tubs and game rooms. Having traveled to many Airbnbs and Vrbos over the years, you can always tell when a host goes above and beyond to create an experience, not just a side income.

We stayed in their Sun Country Digs house in November and had a great time. And honestly, that’s saying a lot when you’re traveling with young kids. The kids ran up and down the stairs from the open-plan kitchen/living room (decorated with the most beautiful pops of emerald green) to the upstairs kid-paradise hangout space, featuring oversized bean bag chairs they enjoyed diving into over and over. My husband and I enjoyed being able to see and hear them run a little wild while we relaxed. We spent long nights reading and enjoying the hot tub and going out to eat in the local Roslyn restaurants (Base Camp Books and The Brick are our faves).

Digs Co. properties are always in great locations. In this spot, we enjoyed being nestled into towering pines with only a few quiet cabins nearby. Remote with quick access to amenities, which is key for a traveling family.

I’ve partnered with Chelsea and Luke, the Digs Co. owners, for years, and have had the joy of photographing over ten of their properties. Each one has unique and beautiful interior design, and is so thoughtfully prepared. They set a standard for excellence in the business of short term rentals and make guest experience an art. Creating travel lifestyle content with them is such a joy, and staying with them is always a refreshing highlight that my whole family adores.

Seattle Interior Photographer | Suncadia Modern Farmhouse

Are you ready for this one? I was so excited to capture the new and beautiful Suncadia Farmhouse, situated in the new Cabins at the Farm development in Suncadia Resort.

With a perfect balance of modernity and warmth, this home is situated on a nature preserve, giving incredibly peaceful views of a vast field backed by Cle Elum mountains.The combination of modern and bohemian styles creates an inviting atmosphere in this short term rental, with a design plan by Jessica Nelson. As an interior photographer, I strive to capture the unique character and charm of the home with the use of clean and natural light. I approach each room differently, bringing out the best features, both big and small.

When I’m able to combine listing photos with lifestyle, editorial photos I’m able to feature an effortless blend of modern travel vibes, making it look inviting and comfortable. It’s one thing to see a beautiful home through listing photos, and another to visually experience it through the lens of a lifestyle shoot inspired by magazine editorials and lifestyle blogs.

Don’t hesitate to check out this house for your next Suncadia visit on Roam.

The Coziest Mt. Rainier A-Frame 90 Minutes from Seattle | Seattle Airbnb Photographer

A few days before my 33rd birthday, my friend Katherine and I took to the mountains for a quick girlfriend’s getway weekend to a super cozy cabin near Mt. Rainier. When the owners reached out for new listing photos I jumped at the chance to get out into the fresh air and get in some quality time with my friend (which can be so hard when you have a young family at home!). Along with photos, I like to offer lifestyle photos of short term rental properties. It really helps to bring the space to life and the creative opportunities are endless. It ends up being a ton of work (thinking of making each moment a beautiful photo) but it’s a lot of fun, and it’s rare that I can stay in that level of artistic flow for such an amount of time. Luckily, my friend Katherine is a producer and enjoyed helping and generously doing more than just keeping me company!

I loved having a few different outdoor “zones” to hang out and work in. The grill/picnic area is on one side of the house, and the fire pit and chairs are on another. Behind the chairs is just… wilderness! We even had a little family of curious raccoons peep their heads out of the bushes, but quickly lost interest when they found no chance of being fed s’mores from our stash.

Katherine and I also relaxed and caught up a ton during this trip which I really treasure. After I put my camera gear away we sat in the chairs and talked for HOURS until the mosquitoes made feast of us. You know those great late night looooong conversations with a good friend? GOLDEN — especially in my 30s when life is super busy with family and work. It was a great reminder that your friends see you through so much life and so many changes, and that they’re worth their weight in gold and more.
