This assortment of turquoise-infused photos taken from his portfolio really showcase that unique talent, the lighting truly is incredible in each photo! My favorite photo is the first one. I know it's not even an interior, but the colors! The stripes! It had me longing for the beach ever since I saw it! The interiors are pretty amazing too...so many beautiful textures, layers and, of course, light! Head over to <a href="http://www.jeffmcnamara.com/" target="_blank">Jeff's website</a> to see lots more fantastic interior and architectural photographs!<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love turquoise?

This incredible home was designed by Marsha Faulkner of <a href="http://studiominteriordesign.net/" target="_blank">Studio M Interior Design</a> out of Jacksonville, Florida.

Let's chat about the bathroom for a sec though, I just cannot handle how beautiful it is! All of that storage?! AND a dressing table nestled in the middle? Then all the marble, fab lighting, and beautiful cabinetry?! What a space!
