She shares our appreciation for details and has a remarkable talent for manipulating light in her pictures. Her dusk shots are truly special and have become our flagship images for marketing our work. Maxine is both reliable and passionate - we have really enjoyed working together to capture the unique character of each home. **★★★★★ — hoskinscb, April 2014** > Maxine's photos have done an amazing job demonstrating our new homes and communities. Exteriors look polished and inviting and the interiors make you want to jump right in to the photo and experience the room. Maxine has executed over 10 projects for my company and I will continue to call on her as more come up. **★★★★★ — Laura Cole, Feb. 2014** > Maxine Schnitzer has been a terrific partner to Willowsford, a new community in Northern Virginia recognized for its conservation efforts and unique architecture. Maxine has captured the essence of our community in her photography by capturing the authentic elements (recycled materials, historic displays, period-inspired architecture, etc.) that make our award-winning community buildings and model homes attractive to buyers in our market. Her images are showcased throughout our marketing platform, helping people visualize the value and benefits of living in a community with a very special aesthetic and quality of life. Simply put, Maxine is my "go to" professional for architectural photography. **★★★★★ — Lauren Sachs Designs, Feb. 2014** > Maxine Schnitzer is a very talented photographer with a keen eye for interiors and architecture. Having worked with Maxine on a multitude of project, I am always surprised that each project is approached by Maxine differently. For every home that I have designed, Maxine has the ability to interpret my vision through the lens of her camera This is one of Maxine's strongest qualities. > Maxine uses her time wisely while on a photo shoot, but at the same time she is quite a perfectionist. > The turn around time to have the finished photos back to you, web ready, has always been quick. This is wonderful for uploading projects as soon as they are completed. > I will always recommend Maxine Schnitzer for architecture and interior photography. **★★★★★ — cpayson, Feb. 2014** > We use Maxine for every photo shoot we have. She is extremely professional and easy to work with as well as a lot of fun! She has a quick turnaround and pays close attention to the details in every photo. Her ability to capture the essence of a home with her photography ceases to amaze me. I would strongly recommend Maxine Schnitzer Photography to anyone and will continue using her for all of our projects! **★★★★★ — De Space Designs, Feb. 2014** > Maxine is a collaborative, true team player. She's very talented with an incredible eye for detail - a pleasure to work with. I definitely recommend her! **★★★★★ — Capitol Design, Feb. 2014** > I first met Maxine when I designed her personal kitchen in Potomac. While there, I was admiring photography she had framed on her walls and was amazed to find out she had captured the images herself. One in particular, a shot of Venice, Italy she had taken on vacation, caught my eye and every time I was at her home I was drawn to it. Being a frustrated, amateur photographer, I asked Maxine how do you get such a beautiful image like that. She said, "First, you have to go to Venice!" > > Well, that's been many years ago and since then, Maxine Schnitzer has made quite a name for herself in the DC Metro area for her beautiful portfolio and diligent work ethic. I recently had the pleasure of having Maxine do a photo shoot of a custom bath in Potomac. Her cheerful disposition put the client at ease and the images were fabulous. I can't wait to have her shoot another project for me. ## Selected projects - [K Hovnanian Line K](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/k-hovnanian-line-k-pj-vj~580310) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 31 - [Bethesda Re-Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bethesda-re-design-pj-vj~872274) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [The Lodge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-lodge-pj-vj~382892) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Potomac Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/potomac-renovation-pj-vj~872643) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Great Falls, VA - Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/great-falls-va-residence-pj-vj~386969) - Location: Great Falls, VA - Photos: 6 - [The Plains, VA - Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-plains-va-residence-pj-vj~386910) - Location: The Plains, VA - Photos: 5 - [Master Bathroom Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bathroom-retreat-pj-vj~443418) - Location: Fulton, MD - Photos: 13 - Description: This sleek master bathroom is a clean-lined contemporary oasis, featuring transparent patterned screens, sculpted walls, and a glass tiled tub. This bathroom project was a complete gut renovation, involving the demolition of existing walls, fixtures and finishes. The custom glass wall, apart from providing privacy, gave an opportunity for artistic expression. It features a unique repeat pattern of intersecting circles - a “Vesica piscis” of sorts, symbolic of creation and infinity.

Thanks.** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Please contact the Designer, Laura Bendik Interiors, for information and design help. **Q: Can I use your image in my blog page?Thanks** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Sure. So long as you provide a photo credit. Thanks! **Q: Is that a custom bed?** *(in Photo Questions)* Where can I find a bed with sideways orientation? A: Please refer your comments to the designer on this project, Laura Bendik at Laura Bendik Interiors. You can find her on Houzz. Thanks! **Q: Furniture** *(in Photo Questions)* Who makes the table and chairs? A: The table and chairs are by Piet Boon www.pietboon.com **Q: Bar stools** *(in Photo Questions)* Very nice dining table, chairs and bar stools. Where are they from? A: I'm the photographer and not the designer. But you can check out Piet Boon, Karin Meyn, and Moooi for the furnishings. **Q: Has anyone received answers?** *(in Photo Questions)* How do learn more about this property? My guess is the photographer won't respond because they don't know the answers...they photographed the home only. An inquiry has been sent to PFour. A: Thank you eljer! Yes, I am the photographer not the designer. I do not know the answers to any of the questions posted. All questions should be directed to PFour. Stanley Martin Homes is the builder, so questions about the property can be directed there too. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-16.*
