David Sparks Commercial Photography - Interiors and Architectural Photographer in Grand Rapids, Michigan

Scenes from Northwestern University’s Wieboldt House—the president’s residence—that I photographed with Jacqueline of Garrett Mitchell Interiors!

Inside the new DoubleTree by Hilton Battle Creek that I photographed with 6PM Hospitality Partners LLC, including the 20,000-square-foot atrium space that connects the hotel to Kellogg Arena! Previously the McCamly Plaza Hotel which closed in 2019, Battle Creek Unlimited along with several community partners (including Michigan Economic Development Corporation, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, City of Battle Creek, MI Government, Calhoun County Government, Bronson Battle Creek Hospital Community Partners, Consumers Energy Foundation, Battle Creek Visitors, and Michael Miller Memorial Foundation) took charge to transform the declining building into Battle Creek’s new centerpiece!

A couple Naperville, IL kitchens I photographed with interior designer, Stephanie Nichols, of @saylainteriors!

The last photos I took in 2024 were of the new mixed-use 680 Wealthy St SE building for McGraw Construction and their partner Lott3Metz Crutcher Architecture. The retail space on the main level is home to boutiques, Modish Moth and Lady Monarch. Upstairs are 3 apartments with 20’-high ceilings and ample views of charming Eastown below!

A throwback to my Christmas photo shoot with Kari of The Collected and her goldendoodle, Mishi, who has a cameo in this year’s holiday issue of Cottages & Bungalows Magazine sitting in the passenger seat of a 1960s Land Rover!

Last year, CityScapes Books asked me for any photos I might have for their upcoming coffee-table book about Grand Rapids. I dug through my archives and submitted what I had. I’m now happy to see 28 of my photos in the finished product, Grand Rapids Visions, authored by WGVU’s Shelley Irwin of The Shelley Irwin Show!

One of the last exterior shoots I slipped in before the seasons changed, 6PM Hospitality Partners LLC’s newly opened DoubleTree by Hilton Battle Creek!

Adventure Credit Union’s new Alpine Avenue branch in Walker that I photographed for McGraw Construction!

Last month, I photographed the work of Progressive Companies at the new Texas Township Hall in Kalamazoo. The building artfully integrates the outdoors with abundant floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a connection with the surrounding nature and plentiful daylight throughout.
