The master suite, designed by Marietta Calas of Expressive Interiors, epitomizes luxury and romance. Each element in the room has been carefully curated to create a bespoke environment that invites relaxation. The calming color palette sets a serene tone, complemented by fine window treatments that add a touch of elegance. 

Handmade end tables offer both functionality and artistry, while custom swivel chairs enhance the space with their plush comfort. The soft, thick shag carpet underfoot completes the experience, inviting you to sink in and unwind. This master suite serves as the ultimate escape, designed for restful nights and rejuvenating days.






Eclectic Apartment:

We photographed this one-bedroom Chicago condo for Joanna Roumanis, capturing the essence of a space that feels like a curated art gallery. The homeowner, a passionate collector of fine art and furnishings, provided the perfect backdrop for our shoot. Joanna expressed a desire to focus on tight shots that would showcase the eclectic tastes of the client, allowing each piece to shine individually.

The result is a collection of images that highlight the artistry and thoughtfulness behind every selection. From vibrant paintings that command attention to intricate sculptures that invite closer examination, every detail was meticulously framed to reflect the homeowner’s unique style. 

Below are some favorites from the shoot that truly encapsulate the character of this remarkable space.

Traditional Financial Office:

Last winter, we had the opportunity to photograph a financial office designed by Debby Hill of Key Interiors. The environment she created embodies a comfortable and traditional office aesthetic, perfectly aligning with the expectations of a high-end financial institution. 

The space features a calm, soothing color palette that promotes relaxation, complemented by luxurious leather chairs and fine wood desks. The conference table and workstations are meticulously arranged, reinforcing the overall motif of professionalism and security. This design communicates a sense of being well-established and reliable—qualities that are essential for clients entrusting their investments.

Country Estate by Orren Pickell:

We photographed this stunning exterior for Orren Pickell Builders, showcasing a residence set deep in the country. The property boasts beautifully designed landscaping, a vibrant flower garden, and a large upper balcony that enhances outdoor living. The spacious lower patio offers additional areas for relaxation and entertainment, while the impressive seven-car garage underscores the home's functionality and luxury. This composition highlights the harmonious blend of nature and architecture, reflecting the quality craftsmanship that Orren Pickell Builders is known for.












Contemporary Country Kitchen :

One of the focal points of any home interior is the kitchen. In this contemporary farmhouse designed by Orren Pickell, we captured the essence of spacious living with a large island and classic country farm cabinets. The design exudes a Scandinavian country feel, complemented by an open three-story staircase that seamlessly connects the kitchen to the inviting family room. This charm is irresistible, and we look forward to showcasing more of this beautiful home in our upcoming posts.









Luxury Dining Room:

Updating and enhancing an older home presents unique challenges, particularly when the homeowner desires luxurious elements such as silk wallpaper, bespoke window treatments, fine hardwood flooring, custom furniture, and fine art. While integrating these features into a brand new home can be relatively straightforward, achieving harmony within a mid-century residence requires not only vision but a keen understanding of design.

Enter Lauren Coburn, an interior designer known for her ability to tackle complex projects with grace and creativity. Her recent total home makeover exemplifies her commitment to transforming spaces into reflections of sophistication and style. Today, we focus on the dining room, a space that perfectly embodies the exquisite elements that characterize this renovation.

The dining room showcases silk wallpaper that adds a touch of elegance, enveloping the space in richness and warmth. Bespoke window treatments frame the windows beautifully, allowing natural light to filter in while maintaining privacy. The selection of fine hardwood flooring sets the stage for the room, blending the old with the new seamlessly.

Custom furniture pieces, designed specifically for the space, contribute to both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Each piece is carefully curated to enhance the visual narrative while ensuring the room remains livable and inviting. Completing the look, carefully chosen fine art adorns the walls, creating focal points that draw the eye and spark conversation.

The final result is nothing short of breathtaking—a dining room that marries luxury with timeless design, all within the context of a mid-century home. Lauren Coburn’s exceptional talent shines through in this transformation, demonstrating that with the right vision, challenges can be turned into stunning realities.








Shooting Empty Retail Spaces:

When a commercial builder completes a retail space, capturing high-quality photographs before the client moves in is essential for showcasing their capabilities. These images serve as a powerful marketing tool, highlighting not only the interior build-out but also the builder's expertise in designing product display areas, checkout counters, and service stations.

Professional photography can convey the aesthetics and functionality of the space. It illustrates how products are elegantly displayed and creates an inviting atmosphere for potential clients to envision their own brands thriving in the space. Through careful composition, lighting, and attention to detail, the final images reflect the builder’s skill in merging design with practicality.

Additionally, these photographs can enhance promotional materials, portfolios, and websites, setting the commercial builder apart in a competitive market. By presenting retail environments that are not only visually appealing but also strategically designed, builders can attract new clients seeking innovative solutions for their retail spaces.
