I photographed this beautiful and intelligent transformation of a classic Victorian  home just west of Boston for Kristen Rivoli Interior Design, and it was scooped up by New England Home!  Kristen did an amazing job of highlighting the Victorian features while creating  a classic “up to date” look.  Architects Treff LaFleche and Dean Hofelich of LDA Architects addition on the back of the house kept the classic Victorian front rooms (parlor, foyer, dinning room, study) yet added a very spacious great-room and kitchen, with master suite above.

One of the funny challenges from this shoot was the master bed.  The bed and duvet  where looking, well, like fluffy down and comfortable beds can. Lumpy!  While shooting the bedroom I had my assistant hidden behind the bed fluffing the duvet for the shot! Perfect!  Oh the artwork was not finalized in the master bedroom yet as well.  So  the painting over the mantel was propped on books then retouched out using multiple exposures with and with out the art work.  All in a days shoot!  Of course there where many other images that where taken that magazine did not have space for.
