Twin Cities Architectural Photography | Another creation by Cates Fine Homes

I think it was last year around this time, or maybe it was early spring, when I went to photograph this house the first time. Then the inside was done but the outside was not – More houses were being built up around it and was not very picturesque. Well now that the neighborhood has calmed down a little, and more projects have been completed, Cates Fine Homes asked me to go out and photograph the exterior of the house. The day was perfect! I love photographing house exteriors when its a sunny day – a blue sky is so much better than a gray/white/overcast sky.

Twin Cities Architectural Photography | House For Sale!

So if you are new to my blog, you probably think the only things I photograph are newborns. While a lot of my recent sessions have been children I do a lot more than that! For example, I got a call just this week from Joan and Doyle Freemyer who are realtors in Woodbury. They had just gotten a listing and needed some photos ASAP of the house so they could put images online and create brochures. I came highly recommended from another realtor, who I happened to photograph last fall for new head shots and business cards, and so they gave me a jingle to see if I could help them out. Sure enough, our schedules meshed and I was able to photograph the house for them this week and I must say, the house is fantastic!!! If you are looking for a place in Woodbury, you definitely need to check this one out!

Twin Cities Architectural Photography | Burkhaven Resort

Recently I had the opportunity to travel into Wisconsin and visit Burkhaven Resort. Burkhaven is a family owned and operated getaway resort located in Osceola and is a perfect place for family reunions, weddings or just a weekend getaway. With various cozy buildings you can rent out and miles of walking trails through the woods, it’s a great place to get away from the big city life!

These are just a few of the images I captured at Burkhaven. Definitely give them a call the next time you’re looking to get away or need a place to hold a get together!

Twin Cities Architectural Session | Cates Fine Homes

Awhile back, Cates Fine Homes contacted me to photograph the exterior of a house they were remodeling. They were being published and needed some images right away, but the house wasn’t quite done yet, so we just captured a couple of the outside for the publication. Now the house is complete and ready for the interior to be photographed so in I went! And, as usual, it was a dream to photograph. Jennifer had staged it so nicely and all the high end finishes really made the images pop. I love it how Cates always finds new, unique materials to use such as the aluminum roofing that they used for accent pieces on the island in the kitchen and the desk in the work area of the living space. Very creative! And if you’re in the market to buy a fabulous house – check this one out on the MLS #3824206

Twin Cities Architectural Photography | Cates Fine Homes

When I pulled up outside the next project Cates Fine Homes had for me, my jaw dropped. This house was GORGEOUS! It had been a model home for the company for awhile but now is the home to a fantastic family. Both Jennifer, one of the owners of Cates Fine Homes, and I were blown away by the landscaping – truely impressive with the copper gutters and colorful plants. Even though I was there to photograph the basement, I couldn’t help but snap a couple of the outside! Then on to the inside!

Simply decorated, the basement was just as impressive as the curb appeal. The homeowner had even taken the time to get some staging props together to dress up the kitchenette a little! These are a few of my favorite features of the basement – the family dog even got to have a cameo in the session! Thanks Ranger for being a great model!
