Tuesday Vignette: Inside my Home

I think vignettes are one of my most favorite things to photograph in a home or space.  They often tell a much bigger story than an overall photograph of a larger space.  We get to see details and a moment created by the occupier of the space….and this week it's my home!  I want to start a new weekly series on vignettes and explore personal moments in people's lives through a detail.  They will probably start off simple and I'll see what happens.  But I figured there was no better place to start than my own home….

I love the light in my place.  It fills the entire place for a good 6 hours a day.  This is the corner of my "office" and clearly a work in progress.  The seamless paper had just been used for a product shoot, the flowers were all left over from a fantastic dinner party, and the decals are for a project I'm doing where I mark up perfectly good plates….Oh, and that chair is about to get a face lift with that new fabric.  Did I mention my favorite pillow??  Judy Ross textiles….love her!

Vignettes: SFA Guest Blog!

This past week SFA Design Group asked me to post a guest blog for them about vignettes and I thought it would be the perfect time to share some of my favorite vignette shots that I have in my client files.  Of course I included a few from SFA, as well as a few from other designers I love working with.  The beauty of photographing a vignette is that you get to close in on a tiny spot of beauty within a room.  A designer transforms such large spaces, but they also have to make sure that the details are in harmony and a vignette shows that off so nicely.  It's probably my favorite part of shooting interiors!
