Hospitality Photography
Hotels, resorts, and the restaurants and bars inside them — photographed the way guests decide.
A property is photographed the way guests decide to book it: the arrival, the lobby, the room, the view at dusk. I photograph hotels and resorts for the people who answer for how a property performs — owners, management groups, and general managers — and I shoot every job myself, start to finish.
I’m based in Boise, Idaho, and on location most of the year: more than one hundred hotels photographed across fourteen states, as a Marriott Premium-Select Approved photographer and for independent properties that hold themselves to the same standard.
Every space that sells the stay
Arrival & exteriors
Twilight and full daylight, porte cochère, signage, and the aerial that places the property in its setting.
Lobby & public spaces
The first thirty seconds indoors — arrival desk, seating, market, and the details a brand audit looks for.
Guest rooms & suites
Every room type, staged and lit to show the space honestly at its best.
Amenities
Pool, fitness, spa — the frames that do the selling on the booking page.
Food & beverage
Restaurants, bars, and breakfast — spaces and plates, lit like they feel at service.
Meetings & events
Ballrooms and boardrooms, set and struck, for the group-sales deck.
Delivered to brand standard, accepted the first time
Branded properties don’t just need beautiful photographs — they need photographs that clear the brand’s review. I shoot to the current standards for composition, coverage, and required views, and every brand shoot is delivered DAC-compliant: the imagery plus the compliance and usage-rights paperwork, prepared to spec. My sets are accepted the first time, which matters more than it sounds — a rejected set means a reshoot, and a reshoot means weeks more of the old photography carrying your booking page.
Twilight first
I arrive the evening before the first production day and scout the angles that can’t be rescheduled. Every evening of a multi-day shoot belongs to twilight — I want a real sky, so I’ll take more than one run at it and keep the better one. When the evening won’t cooperate, I’m up at four for the sunrise. The dusk exterior is usually the frame a property leads with for years; it earns that kind of effort.
New builds, renovations, and reflags
Openings slip and punch lists run long — one property was finally ready a year and a half after the date we first put on the calendar. New hotels are like that, and I plan for it. Renovated and reflagged properties get the same treatment: a fresh, brand-compliant set ready for brand.com, the OTAs, and the sales team the moment the paint dries.
