It held a romance in its own kind of way, though not the same as polished marbled floors and large open windows with long billowing curtains accompanied by a sweetness to the air would.
No. These crumpled walls of peeling paint and dusty, cracked windowsills beckoned a different kind of romance to step onto its stripped and abandoned floors. Its musty breath held in so deep in anticipation for the right person to see its endless possibilities and embrace it for every ounce of charm it held.
. . . To be seen at the rawest form and loved, to be seen for what we are and what we were made to be - there's a profound beauty in that process.
That's truly why this place was perfect for Walter. His eye can see what is and what can be in such a personal and moving way. The way he speaks about his work process for his clients, the way he views a room and design, the aspects and elements he looks to imbue personality and atmosphere are exactly the romanticism called for by this space.
I held my own breath after sharing location photos with Walter, anxious to hear his response. I was hoping he was the right person to propose this location to and excited because I was rather confident he was!
And trust he did!
Here are some of our favorites from the day.

“I really enjoyed the session and love the way the photos turned out. It was very easy to work with you and I appreciate that you listened to my overall vision. Because photography is not my thing, I was able to follow your direction because you knew how I wanted the look to turn out. From the space to the poses it exceeded my expectations. The images have helped boost interest in my IG and initiated several consultations and prospective projects. I am really appreciative of that.”
