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.

delighted | Houston Portrait Mini Sessions

The hard thing about photography is picking a favorite subject. When you begin to see creatively, almost everything you see calls to be photographed. Ever since I began doing it, I see things differently. I see what needs to be captured. I see art just begging to be created. It’s quite amazing, because you no longer look at your daily commute as something that’s boring. You no longer think of a junkyard as just junk. Instead it’s all beautiful.

Right now, I think my favorite subjects to photograph are 2-3 year olds. Maybe it’s because my youngest daughter is 3. Everything she does is amazing to her. She revels in the simplest things. Crayon art, flowers that are really weeds, singing and magical things. She sees wonderment in everything and is delighted so easily.

Photographing little Kaleb for the 2nd time, I was amazed at how much he’s grown up in just 9 months. The first time, he was a bit shy towards me. But this time, he talked to me and walked me around, telling me what he wanted to do. He was so excited and it was a pleasure seeing his little personality come out. Like Juliana, Caleb delighted in the most simple things and it was so clear that he is a happy child.

Parties {for Layla} | Houston Portrait Photographer

**UPDATE**

Thank you so very much for all of your interset in scheduling or participating in a Party for Layla event. Due to the high demand and interest, we have stopped taking inquiries to host an event. However, if you are interested in making a financial contribution, you may do so by visiting www.LaylaGrace.org. Laýla’s family is extremely appreciative of all who have expressed interest in helping them.

If you have inquired about hosting or participating in an event, you will be contacted should more availability become available. You will be contacted in the order that you inquired. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Do to the overwhelming response, all inquiries may not be accomodated.

Thank you so so much for your response and support!

It’s amazing how many hearts this little soul has captured; how many people she’s never met are meeting God for her; some for the first time.

I’ve been searching my heart trying to find more ways that I can help her and her family. I’ve been trying to find out a way that you, my friends & followers (and Layla’s Prayer warriors), can benefit but also a way that I can give back to Layla’s family and help them on their journey. I’ve finally settled on Limited Time Portrait Parties for Layla; Limited Portrait parties (mini sessions)  that are at a super low cost to you. My prices will never be this low again and will only be this low when you book these limited events. Currently I have 3 events available for March and am working on my April calendar as we speak.

For more information on how portrait parties work, please see this link!
