Scenes from a memorable wildfire smoke-filtered sunrise shoot with realtor, Anna Alvarez (@iterationhome), at her latest listing, a 1923 Mediterranean-style home on East Grand Rapids’ idyllic Plymouth “Boulevard”, lovingly restored by @sarahshermansamuel and husband, Rupert, of @sss__builds! The castle-like home was built under the direction of Daniel Steketee of the bygone Steketee’s department store in Grand Rapids which began in 1862, eventually expanding to an 8-story flagship store downtown and several satellite stores throughout West Michigan until 2003 when the last one closed in Kalamazoo. The Canadian wildfire haze that day made for a rare blanket of pink in the eastern sky for a few minutes. Also rare (for Michigan) was the Spanish clay tile roof—the first time I’ve ever shot a home with such a roof!

Featured on the cover of the current issue of Cosmopolitan Home magazine, this stunning home just outside Kalamazoo that I photographed for annajoyinteriors and Molnar Construction puts the “Texas” in Texas Corners! The home’s design mixes Old World, Scandinavian, and modern farmhouse styles—a hybrid of home popular in the rugged, hilly region north of San Antonio.
