Greater Houston Area Children and Family Photography | Christie Lacy bio picture

Come in and stay a while :)

Hi! I'm Christie. I'm married (Jerome) and mama to 3 beautiful kiddos (7, 5 and 2). They keep me busy, but they keep me young. I love seeing the world through their eyes, learning about things I'd forgotten about since I was their ages. I love that they find beauty in the smallest things. I love their wonderment and awe, their many moods and their desire to know everything they can.

I wasn't a photographer pre-child. It was something that I grew into as my desire to freeze in time everything that these wonderful blessings embraced. From the way my middle one closes his eyes in bliss every time he eats (he has a real love for tasty foods), to capturing the boys playing in mud, and seeing baby girl's imagination come to life when she dons her princess garb. As I've seen with my now 7 year old, time passes way too swiftly. The things that they do today, will be gone tomorrow, except for the photographs.

My goal for your session is to help you freeze your moments. Your child's stages of life, their joy, their imagination, and even the temper tantrums. So whether you want to hop out on the golf course, have a baking cookies session, or wander around in the park, let's capture your real life moments.

You Have Brains In Your Head | Cypress Senior Photographer

“…You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own.
And you know what you know. You are the guy who’ll decide where to go.”  – Dr. Seuss

I’m blown away at this girl. From the moment I met her and we got to talking, I was blown away. She is a force. She is smart. She has brains in her head and I believe that those brains are going to take her so many places.

Let me explain…

She has a goal in mind of what she wants her career to be, but she’s not limiting herself to that one thing. She’s pushing further, educating herself more, so that one day, she’ll have options if she ever needs them.

She values herself and believes that the lessons she’s learned in the past (paired with her amazing parents) have helped her understand those values. She knows where she wants to be and she knows what type of people she wants to be with.

She knows God and knows that He has a plan for her and that whatever she’s going through, He’s giving it to her for a reason.

She has a huge heart. She’s loyal to those she loves. She forgives those who’ve hurt her.

She is amazing and I know her parents are so proud.

Her name is Chanel, she’s graduating college in May and she most definitely has brains in her head.

Sweets (for my sweeties) | Houston Family Photographer

 

Rarely do I feel as though I need to reshoot a session. But there are so many reasons I could explain why I need to re-do this one. “I just didn’t get the posing right” or “There’s too much drool at the mouth” (mine of course!) or maybe “the coloring was just all…wrong?”. *sigh* Sadly, I don’t think there was actually anything wrong with this particular shoot, either!

 

 

No matter. Maybe she’ll do something similar for Easter (hint hint). Life is divine when payment for services is a plate of gourmet chocolate strawberries!

Just look at these photos! I know you want some. And guess what, you totally can! (Note: if you go to my church and are on the Get Fitt plan, good news! Mark says our cheat day is Sunday and Valentine’s Day is on Sunday this year! woot!! Note 2: If you’re my trainer and are concerned, aren’t these fruit? and doesn’t chocolate have great antioxidant powers? just sayin’). Tara from Chocolate Encore is teaming up with the Bavarian Cakery to bring you these yummy sweets! Not only are they offering these scrumptious strawberries, but they’ll also have Red Velvet Cupcakes to order!

 

These wonderful treats are only available for order February 8th through February 13th and are priced at $13.50 for 6 of either the cupcakes or chocolate dipped strawberries. A super sweet deal!

January 28, 2010 - 8:25 pm Sharon Miller - These are all so precious. I think my favorite is the shot of the little towhead boy on the curb in front of the picket fence and house... but there are so many good shots it's hard to pick a favorite.

January 30, 2010 - 3:26 pm Amber Wiseman - I can definitely see a resemblance in these women with their lovely smiles. Love the awesome locations too!!! If this were my family, I would never be able to pick a favorite!!!

having fun | Cypress Family and Children Photographer

This may be the most fun I’ve had during a session with my own kids. Why? Because there was no perfect shot that I was trying to achieve. Instead, I was trying toachieve something so silly and fun that it coudn’t help but be perfect. Unfortunately, my middle child has a strong case of Photographer’s Child Syndrome and won’t let me take a photo of him. I thought I could entice him by showing him these crazy photos of his siblings. No such luck. But you can take a peek :) We’re having fun with this new thing: Jowling.   Loosen your lips/cheeks/face, and shake your head as fast as you can while someone takes photos of you. Hope you don’t slobber all over the place. I have to tell you, it’s so hard not to smile while you’re doing this!

 

On my heart today: Layla Grace. This little soul is going through so much right now and I can’t imagine how hard it is for her parents and family to deal with. Please do all you can to keep her in your continued prayers. She needs a miracle and our God can provide it. Please ask him to. You can follow Layla on twitter here: http://www.twitter.com/laylagrace

In other news: Don’t forget to nominate someone for a strength session! I can’t wait to meet the amazing people you know. Need more info? click here to find out!
