LAKE POLASKI | BUFFALO, MN

This was one of my first architectural photography projects once I made the decision to photograph architecture exclusivelyt. This rustic Craftsman-style lake home in Buffalo, Minnesota was a collaboration between Murphy & Co. Architects, John Kraemer & Sons, and Renae Keller Interior Design. Over the course of 12-hours, we staged, styled, chased light, and made a lot of great photos. The best part? At the end of the night we sat down with the homeowners for a nice meal with great conversation.
