We appreciate all feedback from those who visit our website and blog. This project, in particular, has generated a significant amount of commentary.
The tiny kitchen we photographed showcases an incredible transformation. The homeowner shared that prior to the remodel, they struggled with minimal storage space. It was at this juncture that Geno Benvenuti and his team stepped in.
The result of their efforts is remarkable. The homeowner now enjoys more storage than they originally thought possible, often pointing out several empty cabinets during the photoshoot. They were astonished, with the functionality, design, and flawless execution of the remodel. This project is a testament to how thoughtful design can completely revitalize a space. Some favorites below.

Flashback Friday! It's 2013, and we had the pleasure of shooting for architect Peter Scherrer and interior designer Jana Dahl. Jana worked her magic, staging the rooms beautifully, while I focused on capturing the exterior. Inside, we put in the effort to get both daytime and late afternoon shots, showcasing the home’s intricate architectural details.
Looking back at these images brings a wave of nostalgia—this home was truly remarkable, both in design and execution. Jana's talent in interior design complemented Peter's architectural vision perfectly. We thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with both Peter and Jana on this project.
Here are just a few of the interior images. We will share some exterior shots soon.
