When we were in the 7th grade, my best friend Kolby thought Alex was the dreamiest guy in the world. He was best friends with both of our big brothers, and he really had it all: Cute smile, he could do an actual back flip, and best of all, he would acknowledge me when we were in the same room (a trait that truly only little sisters of high school brothers notice!) Ok, so maybe I had a little crush on Alex, too… ;)
When Christie emailed and told us she was engaged to THE Alex and that they’d be able to come to Nashville for a session, the 7th grader inside of me got so excited. When we first saw each other, I’m pretty sure I shouted, “Oh my gosh, Alex, you’re all grown up!” I mean, the last time I remember seeing Alex, my big brother “accidentally” flew his model plane into Alex’s mom. Her face, to be exact.
Needless to say, we’re all grown up. And Alex is in love, with a beauty named Christie, who I’m now equally smitten with. I mean… This girl knows how to work a camera!
It was Nate and my first session in downtown Nashville, and we were like kids in a candy shop! Luckily Christie and Alex were up for anything. :)
Christie claims to be an air traffic controller, but I think she models. I mean, seriously…
I love how they love. <3 Favorite!
We were standing in an alley taking photos when I happened to glance a the wall I was leaning on and read this! How perfect is that? I’d love to know the story behind that one. :)
New Jensey rule : If we see a mural painting of a baby llama, we’re gonna make you kiss in front of it. :)
Alex and Christie, thank you so, so much for everything. We truly hope to see y’all again soon! :)
AHHHHH!!! Precious photos! Man it took me a little bit to recognize him. You’re right, he’s all grown up!! Then it hit me..Alex, the gymnast! How fun to get to see him! Adorabl couple!
I know, right?! I just remember little Jensey and Kolby swooooning over him! ;) It was so funny because we did his session just 3 days after meeting Kinley- So surreal! :)
*Adorable
