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 (8, 6 & 3). 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 before my children. I didn't grow up using my father's Pentax film camera. I think I got a little camera for one of my birthdays, but probably lost it somewhere along the way. If that's a story you were expecting to hear, I'm sorry to dissappoint!

Photography 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 8 year old, time passes way too swiftly. The things that they do today, will be gone tomorrow, all 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. Yes, my goal is to capture these moments so that you'll have them to remember back on. But more importantly, my goal is to capture them for your children to look back on. Do this for you, but more importantly, do it for them.

the bluest blues | Cypress TX Baby Photographer

She has them, the bluest blue eyes I’ve ever seen. They are strikingly beautiful and intense, to match her sweet face. She’s one of the happiest babies I’ve ever met. I think she’s probably only frowned 2 or 3 times since I’ve met her.  She’s turning one.

So mom called me to set up her one year old session. The problem was that our weather was so unpredictable (still is! we’re supposed to get cold again) and every time we’d plan something we’d have to wait and see. But thankfully the good Lord let up a little and provided us with the Springiest Spring weather. The green grass is turning green again and the leaves on my willows are starting to sprout. I love this time of year and it was perfect for Ellie’s one year old birthday outfit. Doesn’t she look like a sweet cuppy-cake? Happy birthday, sweet girl!

One | Houston Children’s Birthday Photographer

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:

Please Pray | Houston Area Family and Child Photographer

I have been reflecting over the last few days since the horrendous devastation began in Haiti. I can’t imagine what they are going through, the hoplessness that many must feel, the pain, the suffering. I can’t imagine what the job of re-creation entails and how they feel after losing so many loved ones. This morning I saw the story of a 13 year old boy who lost his mother and father; he’d suffered a broken leg and a head injury. The videographer showed the medics trying to brace the leg and the boy screamed with pain. My heart breaks.

When you read this, please take a moment to say a prayer for the children in Haiti. As an adult I can’t imagine not having my family and having my entire world fall apart, but even more, I can’t imagine being a child and losing everything you’ve known. Please pray for peace, strength, hope, love and most importantly, faith.

For every single session booked with me this year, I will donate $10 towards disaster relief and rebuilding effort through my church’s ministry.  If you would like to personally donate to this cause, please click here to do so.

Beautiful Light | Cypress Family and Children’s Photographer

Back in November, my friend Ashlee had asked me if  I be available to photograph her family for her mother-in-law.  While normally I have all of December off,  I  did make this exception. One reason is because I love Ashlee so much, another reason was because it was a surprise, but the most important reason was because this wasn’t just for Grandma, this was for them:

You’ll find me talking more and more about this throughout this year.  I love photography, and  I love  capturing  memories. But more than all of that, I want my kiddos to have something for themselves when they are my age. Something beautiful and creative, something that shows them how happy they are and how wonderful and beautiful life is.

I’m making this for your children so that they can have these same things. Because, afterall,  isn’t everything we do for them?
