Cedar Street Builders Architecture Photography Session

In July 2016, we were contracted by Cedar Street Builders to take photos of the architecture at Indiana’s first Certified Passive House in Zionsville, Indiana, which happened to also be the builder’s home.

Sustainable living hits close to home for us, so having the chance to capture professional photography at this family’s home was very exciting! Plus, we get hired regularly for commercial work, so the intimacy of this photoshoot was unique, and a breath of fresh air.
