Woodland Mountain Home in Saluda, NC

Interiors and architectural photography for a custom residential design in Saluda, NC

Client: Altura Architects

The photography focused on the way the house works, not just the way it looks. Over the course of a full-day shoot, I documented the driveway approach, covered decks, garden paths, kitchen, living areas, home gym, wood stove, and evening exterior views as the light shifted across the property.
Books, plants, artwork, bikes, kitchen objects, and the clients’ dog, Willet, all helped the images feel more personal. It is a carefully designed space that feels functional, relaxed, and very connected to the woods around it.
