Cartier Michigan Ave. Remodel

Since their founding in Paris in 1847, the luxury brand Cartier has been synonymous exceptional craftsmanship and elegant design. In 2019, Cartier remodeled their North Michigan Avenue boutique; it took several months, but the location was eventually transformed top to bottom. There was a new color scheme, new carpeting, new furniture, and new display cabinets, all to showcase the high quality jewelry and watches. I was called in to document the glorious changes.

Hyde Park Architecture Photography

I photographed this recently-constructed single family home in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago for the developer. This stylish contemporary home set a record for the highest selling price in the Woodlawn section of Hyde Park, just south of the University of Chicago: $599,000.  This is a harbinger of what will be happening all over Hyde Park once the Obama Presidential Center is built just a few blocks to the east. 

North 680 Apartments

Just completed extensive architectural photography at North 680, a newly-opened luxury apartment community in Schaumburg IL. My client was HPA Design Group, an interior design company based in Dallas. I tried to capture the upscale, but comfortable interior spaces by using predominantly natural light.

The Homestead Hotel in Evanston

Nestled on a quiet leafy street in suburban Evanston, The Homestead is boutique hotel with a European ambiance, but the staff speaks English. I had the privilege of photographing the hotel earlier in the week and tried to capture the warmth and intimacy of the property. I could imagine spending a long peaceful morning on the veranda with coffee, pastries and the quiet hum of birds chirping.
