I‘d like you to meet Quinn. Quinn Rebel, actually. Although he’s five weeks old already, when I first met him earlier this week it was womb wrenching, cuddle inducing, hair smelling love at first sight.

Kristin & Dave: An Uptown Engagement
They met in college. At a party, to be precise. Kristin saw him from across the room and was drawn to him instantly. It may have been the drinks, or Dave’s piercing green eyes. But there was just something about him that had her wanting to know more. They got to talking and discovered they lived in the same apartment building. Naturally, Kristin asked Dave to walk her home (safety in numbers, duh!) They went on an official date a week later, and the rest, as they say, is history. Kristin and Dave are hilarious.

We managed to escape the late afternoon Minneapolis crowds and found some privacy, pretty light, and a whole lot of laughter.Here are a few of my favorites from our...

Nicole and I have been in contact, via the wonderful world of technology, for a few months and I was crazy excited about a couple bikes that Nicole found at a garage sale. When she asked if I thought they’d work for the engagement session, I squealed. Which, obviously, means, “Duh! Yes. Yes. Then more yes.” We rode around their St Paul neighborhood for a while and found some pretty just-before-the-storm light. After a quick outfit change, and another glass of Sangria, we headed to a local park with an amazing fountain, and more filtery soft about-to-tornado-so-take-cover-already light. Nicole +...
