Warm Modern Bellevue Home | Seattle + Chicago Interior Photographer

Creating a home space that feels elevated, layered and livable is second nature to Erinn Chapman. She can see spaces in any condition and bring out the best of their potential in a way that transcends trend and infuses spaces with creativity. Anchoring spaces with great furniture pieces and strategic spatial planning, she then layers the room with accents and textiles that create a sense of home, in its most aspirational sense. These spaces are livable and invite daily use, and do not feel overly precious or staged.

I’ve photographed Erinn’s interior design and renovation projects all over the greater Seattle area. In this Bellevue home, we approached the shoot as a team (my favorite), and captured each shot with an attention to detail and composition, telling the story of her work and the inhabitants who live amongst it. I learn so much from our photoshoots, as her eye for styling is truly unmatched. As an interior photographer with projects all over the country (namely in Seattle and Chicago), my goal is to create lasting relationships with my clients to the point that the word “client” almost doesn’t cut it. (Creative collaborators? Kindred spirits in interior obsession?) Nothing fills my cup more than rolling up my sleeves on shoot days and working together to capture spaces in the most beautiful way possible, and to have a heck of a good time doing it.

Thank you always for your partnership, Erinn!

Of The Earth | Seattle Branding Photography

What a beautiful thing it is when your good friends are your creative community are your clients. Court Walker’s ceramics studio, Of The Earth, was the original reason she and I connected. Then, we found kindred spirits in one another as working creatives, navigating the ins and outs of running a business and pursuing art-filled passions. “Picture day” has become a celebration of the work we do every day to surround ourselves with creative energy and to invite community.

Located in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle, Of The Earth is a creative’s dream with soaring ceilings, a super cool loft community space, as well as all of the makings of an expansive ceramics studio. Court has intentionally filled the space with materials, supplies, and PEOPLE who contribute a glowing creative environment. This, obviously, is a total pleasure to photograph. The vibe comes first before anything, and man does that deliver here. Add in some magical string lights and west-facing windows and it’s a total dream come true. These “branding sessions” never feel contrived. People simply come to the studio, do their thing, and I watch and capture. It’s my favorite kind of branding work and there are zero mentions of #girlboss. ;D

ENJOY.
