To tide you over, mom - Houston Children and Family Photography - Christie Lacy

I’m smack dab in the middle of busy season and have failed to share recent pics of my kiddos with my family who live in Arizona. “These are great, Christie”, my mom says,”but where are the pictures of my grandchildren?!” *sigh*, they’re coming, mom, they’re coming.

Here are a couple…I know, one kid is missing. How is it that all of my clients’ kids cooperate, but my own do not?!


Willow Nest - Houston Antiques Photography - Christie Lacy

Back in September I ventured out with my good friend Christina to attend the Warrenton Antique Market at Zapp Hall. What a fantastic place it was, eye candy everywhere and I was in heaven! As we were on our way back to the car, we found this whimsy and romantic vendor called Willow Nest. I was completely enamored with their offerings. I met Linda and told her how much I was in love with all they had to offer and that I was really only buying these things so I could take them home to photograph them :)

I got home and photographed the items, blogged about it and then sent the collage to Linda. She then asked me to come out to their store in Burton, TX to photograph their store as they have a grand opening planned and needed marketing material. I met Linda and her husband, Ludmil, at their store and got started photographing. Below is a slideshow of all of their fantastic creations. Willow Nest will be having a Grand Opening this weekend in Burton, TX. Burton is right outside of Brenham on the way to Austin. If you have a break in your day, I highly recommend taking the lovely drive out there to meet Linda and Ludmil and celebrate the opening of their new store!

So Excited! - Houston Children and Family photographer - Christie Lacy

Last night I saw some of you at the Wee Wuns Fall Festival. Talk about a crazy place!! I don’t remember it being so busy last year, but this year they had a fantastic turnout!! 

This was my second time donating an auction item for the festival. Last year was my first year of business and I just wasn’t really sure what I should give, what the amount should be, etc. This year I talked about it in detail with many people, my husband, my good friend Christina, previous Wee Wuns Clients (thanks Kelly P and Kristi H), and Kim P and Kassie L and a few others. And after talking with them all, I decided to go with 2 high valued items, hoping and praying that it would bring the school just a bit of extra money. But, still, even after handing in the items to Kassie, I was a bit nervous at what the items would bring in. I of course, wanted them to go as high as they could as all the proceeds benefit the Wee Wuns Program.

So last night was exciting to see my display and all of you who came by to check it out; to see all of my clients who were there being my champions, my spokes people. It was an incredible feeling seeing people in a bit of a bidding war for an opportunity to have your photos taken with me! Thanks to every one of you who bid!

I wanted to say thank you to the two winners of my auction! If you saw me there, standing behind you while you bid, you probably saw a bit of awe on my face, haha!  I’m so happy that the school will benefit from your purchase and I can’t wait to meet you and your families!

My littlest two kiddos go to Wee Wuns. This is our second year in the program and I can not say enough about it. The teachers are so warm and caring, and are such good caretakers and teachers. I’ve met so many great families and friends through the program. Because of all of this goodness I’ve found, I offer a great discount for all families and kids that go to Wee Wuns! If you’re interested in finding out more, feel free to contact me by phone or email!
