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.

Nathan | Houston Newborn Photographer

This little guy is the 4th boy born into this family. What’s more is that all 4 of these guys are ages kindergarten and younger. But this little guy already seems used to the hustle and bustle of a group of boys! He slept through the whole session even when his older brothers were talking to him, gently nudging him, or getting a boo boo. Little Nathan is the first newborn I’ve photographed with my Newborn Promo. Thanks, Julie and Mark for allowing me to photograph him on such short notice! I hope you enjoy your baby as art!

Newborn Casting Call | Cypress Newborn Photographer

Houston Newborn Photography
Houston Newborn Photography

If you’ve read through my newborn category, you’ll see a pattern. I love them. And who wouldn’t? What do I love about newborn sessions? I love that I am blessed with the opportunity to see a family welcoming a brand new soul into their home. I love that I get a chance to participate in those brand new baby days, you know the ones: jammies all day, food made and brought to you, lazy days, snuggling families. I miss those days so much and feel blessed to experience them with your families. Thank you!

I also love new ideas. I love curling babies up and snapping away. I love the art that babies are. And right now, I’d love to broaden my portfolio, offering new poses, new settings and new opportunities to create art with your babies.

If you are pregnant and are due any time in the next 3 months, or know someone who is, this post is for you!

I am currently looking for 10 brand new babies to photograph.

These casting call sessions will:

• Be complimentary (however, prints may be purchased at regular rates).

• Be goaled towards capturing a single image / pose (but if time and patience permits, additional poses and images may be attempted).

• Require a model release (most likely the image will be published).

• Be held at either your home or at an outdoor location of Christie’s preference.

The current casting calls are for:

• Any newborn babies that are 7 days or younger.

• Newborn twins and triplets, either one week of age or within one week of age of coming home from the nicu (preferably with minimal time spent in the nicu).

If you are expecting or know someone who is expecting (between now and December 31) and are interested in this opportunity, please feel free to email me with your due date and we can discuss further details! space is limited, so be sure to call as soon as possible and feel free to pass this on to anyone you know who is expecting!

one week + sleepless nights + big brother = ♥

Call me crazy, but one of my most favorite times was just after coming home from the hospital. Everyone was forced to stay quiet because the new baby was home. We lounged around in jammies all day long. People brought us dinner. I mean really, who couldn’t love that?! And that’s just what this next family has been up to these days. They have a brand new baby (Copeland–don’t you just love that name?!) in the house to cuddle up next to. Take a peek!

brand new + baby smell + big sis = ♥

When mama called me to inquire about a newborn session, and this little guy was so new, I luckily was able to fit her in to my schedule right away. I’m so glad it worked out, because (as many of you, my avid readers, know),  it is so important to get newborn photos done as early as possible. There’s just something about their newness that we want to capture for all of time.

Here’s a sneak peek of Little L, and one with his darling sister, too!

brand new | Cypress Newborn Photography

There’s a bit of peace that comes from holding a brand new baby. I don’t know if it’s the idea that this new child is a new generation and all the promise a new generation holds. Maybe it’s just that a new baby brings new joy and new happiness. Maybe it’s as simple as just love. Whatever it is that brings me peace, I find it in every newborn I hold.

Baby E was no different. She was a gem, really. Slept the whole time, fussed only the tiniest bit. Allowed us to hold her, to fold her. Here are a few from the session:
