I first photographed this home in 2024, right before it went up for sale. Now, after a full renovation by Mill River Renovations, I got to come back and capture it again.

Tucked into the hills of Washington, Massachusetts, this home expansion embraces its surroundings the moment you step inside. Natural materials and abundant wood set a warm, grounded tone throughout, inviting you to slow down and simply be present in each room.

This 1863 Italianate villa sits above Main Street in Amherst Center, with mountain views and southern light in nearly every room. Architect William Fenno Pratt of Northampton designed it for Henry Hills, whose family ran a palm-leaf hat business that helped build the town in the 1800s.

Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to photograph a newly completed Unity Home in Gill, Massachusetts, built by Integrity Development & Construction and designed by Bensonwood, a company known for their commitment to sustainable, high-performance building.

This Vermont home, envisioned and designed by Seth Design Co. is for ski lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. A true mountain retreat with all the trimmings.

Photographing this Accessory Dwelling Unit on a stunning autumn day was a rewarding experience. Crafted by Integrity Development & Construction and designed by Chao Designs, the one-floor living space features a central, expansive area. The all-electric setup emphasizes energy efficiency, accentuated by the striking Shou-Sugi-Ban siding.

Nestled amidst the serene landscapes of Leyden, Massachusetts, the recently completed residential building project beautifully merges modern living with natural splendor.

I often photograph traditional Colonial and Ranch-style homes. So, capturing a contemporary design is a refreshing change.

Western Massachusetts is an integral part to American history while offering some pristine places to live. So it is no surprise that there are also beautiful homes opening their doors to guests.
