APT. 1

A friend from college, empty walls, and freedom. It’s the first apartment away from your parent’s home, and it’s yours.

This was the sentiment for photographing Lesley and Jule’s apartment. Yes, it was a gorgeous collection of highly curated, thrifted pieces of furniture that encapsulated their individual tastes (and their friendship as a whole) into a two-bedroom unit. But. That wasn’t the story. There was no feet-on-the-sofa, music-on-max feeling of freedom that only comes from the apartment with your best friend. And that’s because the story wasn’t the apartment. It was two best friends entering a new stage of adulthood, together.
