Greater Houston Area Children and Family Photography | Christie Lacy

It’s very rare that I say yes to events such as these. It’s not that I don’t love them. I really do, and infact, at one point thought that this was where I wanted to be with my photography. However, a plan was laid out and so here I am focusing on children and families.

But, I said yes to this one. When her sister-in-law mentioned it to me, I’m sure I had a look on my face that said no way. But after finding out that it was going to be a special and intimate wedding day, I quickly said yes.

I am so blessed to be included in such wonderful and memorable moments by my clients. Moments that they’ll remember forever. Moments that are meaningful. And the wedding celebration of this family is no different.

Here is a quick sneak peek before I head out of town. I am pretty sure I’ll be doing another one once I return

Congratulations, S family!

I remember when each of my children turned one. With Darius (he’s our first), we went all out. We invited everyone and anyone. We layed out a huge spread and had a fantastic party. With Andre (our middle), his party was half as big. We invited close friends and family members. Still had a great time, but it was a little more intimate. When Juliana (our third and final), turned one, it was just us. I’ve learned that the best parties are not the big huge extravagant ones. They’re the ones that you celebrate with those closest to you; the most important ones.

This sweet girl is about to turn one. Isn’t she a doll? I mean, she has the perfect face of a doll. We ventured out to a park downtown. I’d never been there and neither had she. It was a mid day shoot with lots of bright sun out and I hadn’t shot a one year old in quite some time. I had been praying and wishing that I still had it.

It was so nice spending the warm afternoon outside beneath the trees and the buzzing people. I think that Miss O gave me some great shots that her parents will surely cherish! Take a peek:

I was so mad about the weather that day. We’d just enjoyed a beautiful, balmy, 70F sunny day. But as we all know, Houston’s weather is never predictable. I had to go to the grocery store and had to troop out into the sleet with my 3 year old. It was cold. The roads were crazy. I was not happy. And then, the snow came.

The last time it snowed, the kids were stuck in school and I vowed that I would take them out of school if it snowed again. Don’t hate. I grew up in Northern Arizona where it snowed every winter and we’d walk the streets during the bright & quiet nights having snow ball fights. I remember one year in particular. My mom had planned to take a few friends and I out of town for my birthday. But then it snowed 6 inches during the night. In a small town, there was only one place to be and it was the local elementary school. There were huge hills that we could take our makeshift sleds (either a trash bag or a garbage can lid) and sled to our hear’s desire. So, yes. I was going to take my kids out of school to make a memory for them.

But I didn’t have to The snow started around 4:30 and lasted only a short while. And, as mad as I was about the cold weather, I took them outside and we made memories
