House in the Suburbs -

You knew it was going to happen. This south Chicago suburban home sits in a historic neighborhood surrounded by mature trees and beautiful landscapes. Designed by Architect Michael Bus, this is one of our favorite homes of all time. Just a beautiful example of classic timeless architecture.

Every angle reveals meticulous attention to proportion and detail: the balanced façades, generous windows that frame the exterior greenery, and the layered rooflines that give the home quiet dignity. Inside, natural light moves through a thoughtful plan—highlighting rich materials, refined millwork, and rooms scaled for comfort without excess. Each space reads as both purposeful and welcoming, a modern interpretation of traditional forms that feels entirely at ease in its setting.

This is classic architecture done right: timeless, rooted in tradition, and composed with a clarity that endures. 

Home in the Woods -

I think we kinda have a theme going here with our Home in the Woods. This incredible house, designed by architect Nate Kipnis, sits tucked away in a Northern Wisconsin forested neighborhood. We photographed it on a mid-summer day — rain earlier in the day had us worried about the exterior shots, but the sky cleared, delivering brilliant blue and a richly colored sunset. Below are a few of our favorites from the shoot.

House on the Lake -

I love autumn — it’s a beautiful time to photograph interiors and exteriors. The light this season falls soft and inviting, wrapping spaces in warm tones and gentle contrast. This lakefront home in Northern Michigan is a perfect example. Built by Joshua Schmidke, every detail reads as intentional and refined; the architecture and finished spaces respond beautifully to the season’s light. More to come.

Jennifer Butler Interior Design - Master Suite -

One of our favorites is this Master Suite we photographed for Jennifer Butler.  The space was beautiful and comfortable, the colors perfect.  Bespoke furnishings, painted wainscoted ceilings and fine wall paper all blend together to create the perfect home retreat.  The Master Bath with is large double shower, twin vanities and centered slipper tub  invites one to unwind in a relaxing soak at the end of a long day.  Stay tuned for more from this master piece of a project by Jennifer.

Michigan Mud Room & Laundry -

Thought I would post something whimsical — a mudroom and laundry from a lovely estate in upstate Michigan. The mudroom has plenty of space for hanging coats and storing the items you need when coming and going.

No need to worry about carpet stains: the floors are covered in a stain‑resistant, highly durable weave that not only looks refined but will stand up to harsh Michigan winters. Nearby, the large laundry room is conveniently located for quickly dropping off snow‑soaked gear straight into the washer. Interior design by Jennifer Butler. More to come! 

4 am Photo Shoot -

We were assigned to photograph a Houston, TX bank interior with one constraint: shoot before staff arrived at 6:00 a.m. No problem. There’s nothing like arriving to a December photoshoot on an unseasonably cold Texas morning.

After an hour or so capturing the exterior, we moved inside for a quick interior session of the lobby and offices. The early start gave us clean, undisturbed spaces and ideal light control, which made it possible to capture the architecture and material details precisely as intended.

The shoot was completed on time and under budget. Our client, the architect, was thrilled with the results — and we are too. More to come.

Shooting Corporate Office Scapes -

Our recent “Office Scapes” posts have been a hit—thanks for the emails and kind remarks about how clean and sharp our commercial images look. We really enjoy photographing commercial projects, and when those projects align with high-end design it makes for especially rewarding shoots.

Below are a few images from a recent build for a Houston-based builder. These captures focus on clean lines, material detail, and the way light defines the space—qualities that help convey both function and craftsmanship.

Stay tuned. More to come.
