Favorite Kitchen Designs I've Photographed

The kitchen is truly the heart of any home.  It is my favorite interior space to photograph.  Here is a selection of notable kitchens I've photographed over the years.

Multifamily Living Lobbies

A well designed lobby in multifamily living says, "Welcome home."  In today's hectic workplace isn't it nice to come home to a welcoming refuge? When on the job photographing multifamily lobbies I have repeatedly witnessed residents smiling as they entered.
Here are four multifamily living lobbies that are among my favorites to have professionally photographed in the Washington DC metro area.

Flats 130 at Constitution Square, Washington, DC:
