Listener - Wooden Heart
WOODEN HEART (sea of mist called skaidan) We’re all born to broken people on their most honest day of living and since that first breath… We’ll need grace that we’ve never given I’ve been haunted by standard red devils and white ghosts and it’s not only when these eyes are closed these lies are ropes that I tie down in my stomach, but they hold this ship together tossed...

New York Family Getaway, Part I
Not even a week after our trip to Hocking Hills with our best pals, we traveled to western New York with my blood…Parents, siblings and their chillun…18 of us total. Although significantly different than our previous trip, it was equally as explorative and refreshing. There’s fewer things better than strengthening a family bond. -S “In truth a family is what you make...

Nine Souls. Raw. Transparent. Loving Each Other. Loving Creation. There was something deeply special to me about this short trip. It seemed as though we were a different people out there in the woods than we are at home. Different elements, yes. Different personalities, even more-so. But the way everything worked together, the way we were...

We never got into the whole “dress-as-raunchy-as-you-can-for-halloween” thing… but we WILL go all out - animal style! - for a 26 year old’s surprise birthday party.
Cheers to the ever-lovely Krissy Delaney! (the pretty, red-dressed pup in the middle)

O contemplate the heavens! Whenas the vein-drawn day dies pale, In every season, every place, gaze through their every veil? With love that has not speech for need! Beneath their solemn beauty is a mystery infinite: If winter hue them like a pall, or if the summer night Fantasy them starre brede. - Victor Hugo

As I sit here trying to think of a way to start this post, I’m finding my thoughts fighting over each other on where to begin. So I’ll simply start with this…
This girl has my heart.
What started as the usual sleepover with my eight-year-old niece, later turned into impromptu recordings of a young lady playfully getting swept up in music with a spirit so free and beautiful it...

B’s one and only baby brother is getting married next summer. That means I will have another lady joining forces with me. We’re basically the only Paxton’s (in our generation) left in the family that we know of. You can bet the stakes are pretty high to carry on this prestigious name ;)
My soon-to-be sister is insanely gorgeous, isn’t she? We’re so stoked for these...

Lately...
Life… crazy, unpredictable, heartbreaking, unsustainable; yet peaceful, foreseeable, uplifting, viable… is our lately. Don’t ask me how that works, but the latter is how we survive the former. Together.

Cheers to summer...and Michigan?
Michigan indeed. The “pure” state has seemed to be our place of mini vacations this summer, our only escape from our hectic, never-slowing-down schedules. I’ve been constantly bogged down with client work, so this blog post is my break for a moment.
Since I hardly blog anymore and take numerous amounts of photos that are never seen by anyone or anything other than our hard...

“A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies…
Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value…
She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life…
She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks..
She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy…
She is clothed with...
Cheers!
