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!
Kelley - Your blog posts are like therapy for me. They are so refreshing. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Roxanne - Triple love these Paige! Always so good and so real. Teens are my fave to photograph as well 🙂 Nice to see your sweet face in there too!
carrie - this is the one! this is the shoot that i saw you doing when i drove down the road and waved like a loon. these are so, so very good. perfect really. the darker haired girl looks like she has a contagious laugh! what a sweet friendship you were able to capture so perfectly. i know they (and their mama’s) will treasure these always. i will pray for lauren’s peace and comfort as she grieves the passing of her father. so sad! he was so young.
you have a gift. i’m so glad you are using it well! 🙂
Jennifer - are you ever not surrounded by gorgeous people, including yourself. these girls are runway model stunning! and that long tan dress on the brunette…goodnessgracious fabulous! excellent job woman!
D'Nese - These photos are AMAZING! I can see why it’s been one of your favorite sessions. Both of these girls are beyond beautiful. I’m so sorry that she lost her father. My heart goes out to her and her family. He was so very young. The date tattoo is beautiful and you captured it in such a beautiful way. Anyway- thank you for sharing. What a lovely, lovely session.
Cheryl - Paige,
The photographs are stunning. You have captured their spirit so beautifully. My heart stopped when I read about Lauren’s father. She is so fragile. Life is a tricky thing. I will keep her in my prayers.
