Warrenton Antique Show - Christie Lacy - Houston Children and Family Photographer

September 30, 2008 – 8:17 pm

Yesterday, a friend and I went to the Warrenton, TX antique market. It was a splendid site to see! A photographer’s dream. Unfortunately, I had the 2 kids along with me and wasn’t really able to get into photographing, in fear they’d touch and break something worth a gazillion  dollars. I’m going to try and see if I can make it out there this weekend, though, they say the one road in and out of town backs up for miles on the weekends. Only an hour and a half’s drive from Houston, located in the beautiful town of Warrenton. Check out more here: www.zapphall.com

These are some of the treasures I picked up from a sweet little place called Willow Nest. Their set up was so feminine, shades of muted pink, white and cream. I adored this little shop and will be back time and time again, I think! The Willow Nest is opening a store in the town of Burton, TX. They are planning their very first event for November 8th 2008. I plan to stop by, even for a short while to see what adorns their shop. I can only imagine!

And here are some shots I took with my trusty point and shoot. There truly was so much I wish I had been able to photograph, so many things I wish I could have taken with me. I am definitely going back next year with a plan, and without kids, tee hee!

Stay tuned to the blog for more sneak peeks! I have a few to post over the next couple of days!

The R Family - Christie Lacy - Houston Children and Family Photographer

September 30, 2008 – 7:50 pm

Whew! I had quite a weekend. Several shoots packed into the last few days, a couple of birthday parties, a trip to Warrenton (I can’t wait to show you what I found!). And that was just over the weekend! Now I’ve got sessions to proof, orders to make and people to call!

I spent some time with this lovely family on Saturday. They were referred to me by Andre’s teacher from last year, Mrs. Hill (her kids are featured in this post). Thanks Kristi, don’t forget that you receive a $20 print credit for your referral!

Big brother was as sweet as can be to his little sister, I hope my boys are that way with my little girl! And his lil’ sis was super sweet as well. A bit shy, but they almost always are at first. I want to thank your family for choosing me as your photographer! Thanks for letting me have some moments with your family! Here’s your sneak peek!

More Halloween Style - Houston Children Photography - Christie Lacy

September 26, 2008 – 9:17 am

My friend Michelle, of Crimson 5 Couture, stopped over yesterday and dropped off a sweet little Halloween outfit to be photographed. As soon as I got it on my little Julesey, I just had to have it. Michelle is taking orders now for this little creation! She’s already had a great response from it, so if your in the market for a cute Halloween outfit, or maybe your school won’t allow costumes this year, these are a great way to celebrate the day!

Houston newborn, children and family photographer - Getting back in the swing of things -

September 17, 2008 – 8:07 am

I don’t no where to start. First, Thank you for everyone who has kept us in your prayers and thoughts, and to everyone who stopped in to check on us. We’re getting back to normal…I think.

Power came back on on Sunday and we didn’t have any major damage. We’re quite lucky and blessed. 2 streets over is a different story, uprooted trees fallen on houses and cars, flooding in the homes, fences down, yards torn to pieces. And then you come to our street and it looks like nothing is wrong.

It’s a weird feeling seeing all the devastation in Galveston and the surrounding areas. Those are the places we go to play, we’re not there all the time, once a season maybe. But the people who live there, that is their home, their livelihood. I feel torn up by it.  And the million or so people still without power, thank the Lord for gracing us with cooler and drier air this week.

The grocery stores down on the corner are still packed. Packed with people looking for fresh food and ice. Packed with people waiting in their cars at the gas pumps, hoping they will get just a few gallons to run their generators. 

The air around here smells of burning wood. I suppose the landowners are burning their debris, their fallen trees.

I hate to blog about something so sad. I know our community will be fine. I know that Galveston will revive. I pray for the people on the peninsula who lost absolutely everything.

For the next few months, I’d like to give a portion of my sales to the victims of Hurricane Ike. I would like the proceeds to go specifically to the victims, not to major organizations. If any of you know of any relief efforts, organizations that are local to the effected areas, please leave me a blog comment.
