181 | How to Capture Stunning Photos of Your Interior Design Projects

Have you ever finished a beautiful project… only to realize you have nothing to show for it?


I’ve seen so many talented interior designers pour their heart, time, and creativity into a space — only to walk away without the one thing that helps them book their next client: professional portfolio photos. Without strong website images or scroll-stopping social media visuals, it becomes harder to build trust, showcase your design expertise, and grow your business.


In this episode, I’m walking you through how to consistently get portfolio-worthy photos of your interior design projects — even if you're new, working with real-life clients, or unsure how to approach photography contracts, styling, or working with an editorial photographer. Because when you have high-quality interior photography, everything changes — your portfolio strengthens, your brand elevates, and your work finally gets the visibility it deserves.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode

✔️ Secure client permission through photography contracts

✔️ Choose editorial over real estate photographers

✔️ Style spaces for magazine-quality photos

✔️ Capture storytelling photo composition

✔️ Plan photography into project expenses
