Pure & Lovely

Recently I had a shoot at a location I had never seen. I chose it based on a single photo of a tiny corner of a room taken months earlier by a dear friend. One small photo and I just knew.

When I finally walked into the building the first thing I noticed was this worn window sill and vase of long forgotten flowers. It was silent and still. It felt like a magical place. Pure & lovely. I immediately shot the photo above and even now when I look at it….it moves me.

Normally I don't share anything about locations, projects or stories until after publication but I felt I had to tell you the story behind this location. That way when you see it revealed in the spring issue you will know. It will feel magical to you too. Together we'll share the secret meaning behind it. And if you look closely you will see that I kept that vase of flowers for my story…because it just seemed right.

    I LOVE your blog, and admire your creativity, composition and romantic taste. I have only one request. Some of us aren’t getting any younger, and much like the shabby goodies which I appreciate, my eyes are beginning to “fade” a little. In spite of adjusting my monitor, I often find the “soft” gray hue of your type a little too “muted” for my fuzzy eyes.. It definitely blends with the soft design of your blog, but I, for one, would appreciate a little darker print color.

    Seeing this photo and this worn out window gave me a fantastic idea for a photo shoot location. So, thank you!
