Kitchens for Cooks

I have photographed kitchens from Maine to Hawaii, they become published yearly in magazines and books.

To make a feature we need four to ten photos of the kitchen with a couple of overalls, the sink and appliances areas, the eating space and material details. When shooting kitchens I wear three hats, that of the Art Director, the Stylist and the Photographer.

Styling points: pick a color range for all the props that will compliment and not over power the kitchen design, keep it simple and let the design shine, make it natural and real for today’s lifestyle.

Dianne Einstein used bold Italian cabinets to enliven a fifties ranch with Pucci modern. California Home and Design loved it too.

House Beautiful will be taking it outside this summer with this Calistoga BBQ. You would have never known that we spent the day avoiding raindrops and looming clouds as we created the perfect summer fete in March.

Woman’s Day magazine loved the proportions and detailing of this cozy craftsman style remodel in Mill Valley. With the fireside dinning it is truly inviting.

Woman’s Day might use this Mill Valley classic on the cover; there is plenty of room for the title and tag lines.
