Kinsi and Jeff: The Engagement

I love people who are real. What do I mean by real? I mean the kind of people who show up for something ready to go with the flow. No fuss, no drama. The kind of people you just know would like, tip their waitress extra after seeing her embarrassingly drop a huge platter of food on the floor in front of them. Or go out of their way to hold the elevator for the little old lady with the walker who hasn’t even come ’round the corner yet.

I spent two hours with Kinsi and Jeff and in the time I got to know them, I could tell that is the kind of people they are. Real. Genuine. Sweet as can be.

And you know what’s great about that? It shows in these photographs. Sometimes I’m so moved to look at images like these and to see the little ways in which a couple love one another. A stolen embrace when they think I’m not watching or a whisper in one another’s ear. It’s the little things like this that spell love to me. And Kinsi and Jeff’s love? Yep, it’s real too. If you want to see more of it, WATCH THE SLIDESHOW (Kinsi, I picked an Over The Rhine song for you. I love that you love that group because I love them too )

Kinsi the way you’re looking at your man here says it all

We all need to remember there’s still a kid inside each of us. It’s times like these that I encourage my clients’ to let it out.

This? This right here? This is totally what I mean about the sweet as can be part.

Oh I love how Jeff is holding Kinsi here.

Going in for the kiss. Kinsi doesn’t seem to mind …

We ventured next to Kinsi’s aunt’s house, which, with all the dogs and cats and chickens and horses, was a menagerie of sorts. Kinsi spent some time out West and just seemed to have a way with her aunt’s horse. She also was wearing a sweet pair of cowboy boots she bought at a vintage shop out in Wyoming so you know, combining a love of thrift store finds with an instinct for nature made her my kind of girl

If you couldn’t tell here, Kinsi is one of those gals who have like, THE BEST SMILE EVER. I kept telling her that and Jeff proudly exclaimed, “She was voted ‘Best Smile’ in high school.” Yep, I can see that!

This embrace is the way every woman wants to be held by her man. FAVORITE!

Okay, okay, I lied. I have TWO favorites. I’m sorry, this photo is just awesome. And it’s not ’cause of me. It’s ’cause it’s these two. And they’re sexy. And because of Kinsi’s hair. KINSI, I WANT YOUR CURLS

Jeff and Kinsi, thanks again for a wonderful fall evening!
