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.

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. To read more or get an update on our ministry there in Haiti, please read here.

Just a quick note to remind you that I will be out of office, spending some much needed time with my family through July 22nd. Emails and phone calls will be answered when time allows during the next month. If your concern requires urgency, please be assured that I will contact you as soon as possible.  I am now booking for August and September 09. If you are interested in scheduling a Christmas session, please start thinking of dates now, as they will begin filling up next month! Christmas specials will be posted soon!

I hope you all are enjoying your summer so far! Unfortunately, we’ve been sick at our house for the last week or so, so we are welcoming vacation and relaxation!

And because every post is a little more fun with photos, here’s a slideshow of my most recent newborn shoot!

vacation ~ Cypress Senior Photography

Just an update to let you know that I am going to be out of office June 15 through July 12 and then again July 18 through July 22. If you are planning to have a session this summer, please contact me as soon as possible so that we can arrange a session for you! I am currently booked through the first week of June, with a few sessions scattered around the summer months, so space is becoming more limited as summer draws near. I hope to see some of you and your families this summer!

Also, if any of you are interested, I’m happy to do lifestyle sessions on the beach! I, myself, love taking the kiddos down to spend the day and enjoy the warm breeze and cool water.

Have a great weekend!

Boys and Girls Country Fest Cancelled | Houston Family Photography

I’m heartbroken to have to share this news. I know the Boys and Girls Country work so hard throughout the year to make this event happen as it’s one of the biggest fundraising events they have to help care for their 88 boys and girls. Below is an email I received with more information. When I hear the news I’ll be sure to let you know!

After Quintes Stark, our Director of Operations, walked the grounds this morning after the downpour of rain last night, and vehicle-tested the possibility of parking 2000-3000 cars in an already soggy, muddy field that won’t be dry for a week….and with the likelihood that rain may continue as it has today….we are canceling the Spring Festival on-site event — for only the second time in almost two decades.

We had to make the decision today.  Aztec Tents & Events was packed and ready to send their crew out here in the morning to set up all of our booths and tents.  We felt relatively comfortable that we could get most of the event set up on mostly dry land, but we have no place that you and the friends you have recruited to volunteer with you could safely park.

We considered re-scheduling, but with the hundreds of volunteers and logistics involved, we knew that was not feasible.

We considered shuttling our guests from a paved parking lot further down on Roberts Road, but know that getting 3000 people back and forth to our festival would be a logistics nightmare.

But we also know that we desperately need the funds that would have been raised on Saturday.

So, what are we doing?

v     We are canceling all the things that will cost money to save on expenses
v     We are planning a Silent and Live Auction on line and through mail
v     We will design other creative ways to communicate with our friends and donors to let them know how they can help.

I am so sorry that we cannot control the weather — or the land that floods around us. Other than that, we’re on it! Stay with us and stay tuned!
