Boise · Treasure Valley
Architectural photography, where the buildings are going up.
I came to Boise in 1991 and never found a reason to leave — and for someone who photographs buildings for a living, the Treasure Valley has been a good place to stand. Few regions in the country have built more in the last decade: clubhouses and amenity campuses, restaurants, offices, whole neighborhoods. Someone has to document the finished work properly.
Architecture is still life at scale — I’d argue it’s the most demanding genre there is. Nothing moves, there are rules, and the building can’t flatter itself. The photograph has to show the design as built: the proportions the architect drew, the materials the builder chose, the light the space was shaped around.
Day and dusk, inside and out
Every architectural subject gets two lives in a set: full daylight, when the forms and materials do the talking, and twilight, when the building turns its interior light outward. The dusk frame is usually the one that ends up on the cover — it earns a scouted angle, a real sky, and as many runs at the light as the evening allows. Interiors, details, and aerials round out the set.
The same standard the hotel brands vetted
Most of my year is spent photographing hotels as a Marriott Premium-Select Approved photographer — work that is reviewed against written brand standards, delivered to spec, and accepted the first time. Local architects, builders, and developers get that same discipline: complete coverage, honest color, verticals that are actually vertical, and files prepared for print, web, and awards submissions.
Boise is the base, not the boundary
The Treasure Valley — Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Nampa, and the towns between — is home ground, and I photograph across Idaho and the Northwest wherever the project is. See the local work on the commercial portfolio and the residential galleries.
Common questions
What do you photograph for architects, builders, and developers?
Clubhouses and amenity spaces, restaurants and taprooms, offices, multifamily and model homes, and high-end custom residences — the finished work, documented inside and out, by day and at dusk.
Do you work outside the Treasure Valley?
Yes. Boise is home base, but the same work travels — I photograph on location across Idaho, the Northwest, and beyond, including more than one hundred hotels across fourteen states.
The architect and designer are interested in the photos of my property — can we all use the images?
Yes — that's what cost-sharing is for. Each company splits the total production and licensing cost, and every party gets the full set to use. The savings are significant, and they compound as more parties join.
