In this episode of Boulevard Beat, Meghan and Krissa sit down with acclaimed interior and architectural photographer Kerry Kirk, whose thoughtful eye and signature lighting style have made her a favorite among top designers and national publications. Kerry shares the story of the street where she grew up, the path that led her into the creative world, and what it truly takes to build a photography business from the ground up.

Together, the three dive into the artistry behind photographing interiors — from the preparation required before a shoot begins to keeping a fresh perspective when homes often share similar layouts. Kerry opens up about navigating client expectations, how her travels have expanded her creativity, and the destinations still sitting on her photography wish list.

The conversation also explores social media’s impact on creative careers, the importance of high-quality imagery, and which current photography trends might be ready to retire. Kerry also shares how her passion for vintage and antique wares blossomed into a meaningful creative outlet through her work at Round Top.

Street Style Takeaways: 

1. Building a creative career takes courage and connection. Kerry’s early client growth came from showing up, staying persistent, and embracing opportunities before perfection set in.
2. Great photography begins long before the camera. Preparation, communication, and visual planning are essential for capturing interiors that feel intentional and alive.
3. A fresh eye is a practiced skill. Even familiar layouts become unique when approached with curiosity and storytelling in mind.
4. Travel expands your creative vocabulary. Kerry’s experiences around the world influence her perspective, shaping her sense of color, light, and composition.
5. Social media is a visual calling card. Thoughtful, well-lit imagery — even on an iPhone — builds trust and elevates a creative brand.
6. Trends fade, but authenticity remains. Kerry shares which trends feel overplayed and why staying true to your own aesthetic matters most.
7. Creativity thrives in multiple outlets. Her passion for vintage and antiques through Round Top brings dimension and inspiration back into her photography
