I hope your soul is changin', changin'
I hope you find your peace
Falling on your knees, prayin'

Read moreMorning Routines with the Hoards - Espresso Anyone?
Abbey and Steve are two of the coolest people I know. Two artists/architects who support each other around every turn. I love their point of view - how they see and explain things. From where I stand it seems their commitment to creating a life that exemplifies beauty always starts from this point of graciousness. Kind of like a solution to something must be elegant and kind - or benefit the most people. Ha - words are failing me. But to spend time with this family is to be inspired and always makes me want to make the world more beautiful. I loved photographing their morning routine. Otto is such a good big brother and Louie made espresso and told me jokes. And finally I got to meet little their newest love. What a day.
