loving these spring days we’re having here in Houston. Seriously! The weather has been so gorgeous with it’s breezy days and cool nights. We’re savoring it…summer will be here before you know it!

super sweet

When I was in high school, the only thing I could think about was getting out of there. In the 4 years I was there, I never figured out what it was that I wanted to do when I grew up. I wouldn’t say I wasn’t ambitious, I just don’t think I had the tools to focus into what it was that made me passionate. My sisters, on the other hand, they learned from my mistakes and went straight into college and seemed to know exactly what it is that they wanted to do with their life. Me? I was just going with what came at me and sort of left the door open to whatever came.

It really amazes me when I come across high school seniors who know what they want to do, are passionate about it, and who go out and make things happen. Faith is no different.

She’s on her way to becoming a fantastic pastry chef and, while I haven’t had the luxury of tasting her sweet confectioneries, the reviews are raving. I love how she knows what she wants and is going after her dreams. Secretly, I hope that one day (after she graduates of course) she’ll open up a dessert boutique right here in Cypress. I just know that with her head-on-her-shoulders straight forwardness, she’d make a great business out of it. Faith, please? pretty please?

Here’s Faith…don’t get distracted by that oreo cupcake!

i just love it when people smile/laugh with their eyes closed. so cute.

If you are a loyal blog follower, please let me apologize for seeming to fall off the face of the earth! These last few weeks of summer have had me running around crazy trying to be present with my kids and creating memories with them. I’ts been so nice to just go out and do fun things with them. We’ve gone to the pool nearly every other day, stopped for raspas more than a few times and had more than one lazy day. I longed for these days back in Spring. Now, though they won’t tell you, they’re ready to be back in school. Their becoming bored without a routine and reading and learning. I’m ready to begin the fall season and for cooler weather. It’s been insanely hot here. Stifling.

Here’s a picture of what our summer has looked like:

So school is starting, the Holidays will be here before you know it. Isn’t it amazing how fast time goes by? I swear the new year was just rung in, yet here we are 8 months in. Where have I been in it? A new goal of mine is to be in the moment. To live more significantly, to cherish the here and now. Last week, someone I follow on twitter tweeted this article out. Grab a tissue box.

I’ve been on a journey the last year or so. Wanting to do something more meaningful. I have a project that is in the works to capture realness: real memories, real love, real joy. I can’t wait to share it with you.

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”

-Aaron Siskind

I’m writing this blog before I’ve even begun processing any of the images or sneaks from this session. I know, it’s a bit unconventional, but there is so much joy coming from the images on my second screen and as I go through them, I feel compelled to write. The only title I could think of to do this post justice is ‘love’.

I loved this day. I didn’t expect that it would turn out the way it did, but because I was asked to photograph this family and event by someone that is so close to my heart, I don’t know why I am surprised of the way the day just fell into place.

When I’m asked to photograph families, I feel so blessed. I get to see them for who and what they are. For how they respond and interact with each other. I get to laugh and celebrate with them; to hear their inside jokes and stories. This family had so many, and my cheeks hurt from laughing with them. And as I spent the afternoon waiting for the next part of the photo shoot to start, I almost felt as if I were apart of their family.

So, with that said, I’mso happy to share a few photos of these wonderful people. I swear you can feel their happiness from the smiles in these photos. I love families.

This wonderful couple celebrated their 50th anniversary on Monday. I wish them many more years of love and happiness together!

new products coming soon

Christie Lacy Photography — Thu, 20 May 2010 15:45:23 +0000

I recently realized that there are few things I’ve been lacking in my offerings. One of those is product showcasing. I’m taking great strides to be sure to showcase my products and am very excited to begin showing them to you! I have a great lineup coming soon and I just know that you won’t be disappointed!

Here’s a few images of something new that I’m offering as a promotion. When you purchase the Digital Collection 1 between now and June 30, have your proofbook upgraded to this cute little 5″ x 5″ book in the image below. This is great for taking along to family gatherings or keeping in your handbag for showing off your family’s photos!

E + D | Houston Portrait Photographer

We met at a park in Scottsdale for the mini session event I held for my sister. She is raising money and awareness for the March of Dimes and this sweet family chose to support her in the effort!

The park was great and while I hadn’t been there before, I knew immediately where I wanted to shoot. This great big area of grass and trees had the most perfect evening light. And it’s very rare that you find anything green in the Phoenix desert! The kiddos were so sweet. Miss E is a gem and showed her beautiful smile readily. Mr. D took a while to warm up to me, but I managed to get a few smiles from him.

Thank you so much for supporting the MOD!

four | Houston Family Photography

As with all families, I find it so interesting to see their dynamic. And these four were no different. Each one of them have different personalities and it’s always fascinating to me that kids can be so different. I remember the first time I learned that, while my kids may look alike, they are completely different from each other. I was so excited to photograph these peeps. Their mama is my Julesey’s pre-school teacher over at Wee Wuns and has probably been even more excited for the day to have come! So we set out to field full of trees, tall grass, an old tin barn….and mosquitos. Yes, friends, they’re back and in full attack mode! But we didn’t let that get us down.
