hello! i'm paige & i'm so glad you're here.
simple thoughts is my personal journal. my life is not perfect, yet i humbly open the pages of my story & invite you to c'mon in and stay a while.
i consider myself blessed beyond measure to share life with dan and our four girls, savannah, madison, emily & caroline.
a lover of caffeine free diet coke, monograms, anthropologie, running, my golden retriever brinkley and above all else, jesus.
seeing life through a lens, i constantly find myself thinking of my world as art, full of color and beauty . it's my attempt to capture the grandeur of everyday that can easily be passed over. after receiving requests and encouragement from friends and family, i launched my own business, paige knudsen photography, in the fall of 2011. i'm a natural light photographer serving the atlanta area.
recently another passion found it's way into my heart. Noonday Collection . noonday offers accessories handmade by vulnerable groups of people around the world. our aim is to style you while creating a pathway out of poverty for artisans and their families through dignified sustainable income. having been widowed at the age of 30, i feel a kindred connection with many of these women. you can be a voice for the oppressed too!

The Avery House - Paige you have such a lovely home! It reflects the pure and beautiful spirit that embodies you and your family. Your thoughts and prayers for those who have suffered tradgedy in Japan are genuine and appreciated.
LouBoo - Hi Paige – your house is a haven of calm; every time I see it I think this. It is hard to find that balance when there is such tragedy in the world – or atleast when we have such an acute awareness of tragedy. All we can do is try our best to carry on with it in our minds; everyone is thinking of those affected in Japan. Lou x
amymck - what a warm and welcoming home….i'd never want to leave….of course, i am sure it's just an extension of you, paige….warm and welcoming…..and beautiful too.
Heather - Your home is absolutely gorgeous!
Janie Fox - It is as lovely as you are Paige! I love collections but I like them grouped too. I love the vintage frame you highlighted. Perfection. You have a wonderful home. Your grateful spirit is apparent. We are all praying for the victims of that terrible earthquake. Thanks for sharing your home.

Kelli - Stunning. I love the pop of color!
Kat - Paige, your house is so beautiful. It's so light, airy and romantic. Just like something out of a magazine! Love it.
giosmama26@yahoo.com - I could “easily” see myself living in your home. You wouldn't mind would ya? =)
Louise - Went to the site, somehow I have missed your upstairs hall with the girls artwork on your blog. Lovely, and I am so impressed! Who painted that bowl of cherries and the sunflowers? Beautiful!
The white sofa and those windows, that is one of my favourite pics . .I love windows like that. What I would give for windows and hardwoods like that.
Val - Wow, you home is truly gorgeous!!!
Lemonade Makin' Mama - The things I love about you:
1) your sensitivity about posting this in light of the Japanese crisis
2) Pops of color everywhere in a sea of calming white. I often find white to be sort of cold and uninviting, but there is nothing uninviting about your home and the way you've arranged and decorated it.
3) the fact that I feel like I could just come in, curl up and have a great chat about life with you in your pretty home.
Mary Beth - Paige,
I have never commented before but love reading your blog. I have two young girls and am intrigued by all the phases ahead of us. Your lovely blog celebrates your girls where they are so well and makes me look forward to the future with mine!
We just bought an older home to renovate in NC and I absolutely love your hardwoods. I know you have mentioned before how much you also love them. Would you mind sharing more detailed information about them?
Your home is lovely and inspiring and looks so peaceful and calm. Thank you for sharing.
Blessings,
Mary Beth

Kristin - Hello –
I have been reading your blog since last summer and sometime last week I decided I wanted to go back and read it from the start.
Then tonight I came to your page to read through another month and I cannot find the archives on the sidebar anymore! What happened? Am I missing it?
Just thought I would leave a message to see if you could direct me to where it went to!
Thanks!
