You Have Brains In Your Head | Cypress Senior Photographer

Christie Lacy Photography — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 04:22:47 +0000

“…You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own.
And you know what you know. You are the guy who’ll decide where to go.” – Dr. Seuss

I’m blown away at this girl. From the moment I met her and we got to talking, I was blown away. She is a force. She is smart. She has brains in her head and I believe that those brains are going to take her so many places.

Let me explain…

She has a goal in mind of what she wants her career to be, but she’s not limiting herself to that one thing. She’s pushing further, educating herself more, so that one day, she’ll have options if she ever needs them.

She values herself and believes that the lessons she’s learned in the past (paired with her amazing parents) have helped her understand those values. She knows where she wants to be and she knows what type of people she wants to be with.

She knows God and knows that He has a plan for her and that whatever she’s going through, He’s giving it to her for a reason.

She has a huge heart. She’s loyal to those she loves. She forgives those who’ve hurt her.

She is amazing and I know her parents are so proud.

Her name is Chanel, she’s graduating college in May and she most definitely has brains in her head.

Sweets (for my sweeties) | Houston Family Photographer

Christie Lacy Photography — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 13:17:03 +0000

Rarely do I feel as though I need to reshoot a session. But there are so many reasons I could explain why I need to re-do this one. “I just didn’t get the posing right” or “There’s too much drool at the mouth” (mine of course!) or maybe “the coloring was just all…wrong?”. *sigh* Sadly, I don’t think there was actually anything wrong with this particular shoot, either!

No matter. Maybe she’ll do something similar for Easter (hint hint). Life is divine when payment for services is a plate of gourmet chocolate strawberries!

Just look at these photos! I know you want some. And guess what, you totally can! (Note: if you go to my church and are on the Get Fitt plan, good news! Mark says our cheat day is Sunday and Valentine’s Day is on Sunday this year! woot!! Note 2: If you’re my trainer and are concerned, aren’t these fruit? and doesn’t chocolate have great antioxidant powers? just sayin’). Tara from Chocolate Encore is teaming up with the Bavarian Cakery to bring you these yummy sweets! Not only are they offering these scrumptious strawberries, but they’ll also have Red Velvet Cupcakes to order!

These wonderful treats are only available for order February 8th through February 13th and are priced at $13.50 for 6 of either the cupcakes or chocolate dipped strawberries. A super sweet deal!

I don’t have much time to post today (it’s my hubby’s birthday!) but just wanted to share with you this fantastic family session!

having fun | Cypress Family and Children Photographer

Christie Lacy Photography — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 23:47:42 +0000

This may be the most fun I’ve had during a session with my own kids. Why? Because there was no perfect shot that I was trying to achieve. Instead, I was trying toachieve something so silly and fun that it coudn’t help but be perfect. Unfortunately, my middle child has a strong case of Photographer’s Child Syndrome and won’t let me take a photo of him. I thought I could entice him by showing him these crazy photos of his siblings. No such luck. But you can take a peek We’re having fun with this new thing: Jowling. Loosen your lips/cheeks/face, and shake your head as fast as you can while someone takes photos of you. Hope you don’t slobber all over the place. I have to tell you, it’s so hard not to smile while you’re doing this!

On my heart today: Layla Grace. This little soul is going through so much right now and I can’t imagine how hard it is for her parents and family to deal with. Please do all you can to keep her in your continued prayers. She needs a miracle and our God can provide it. Please ask him to. You can follow Layla on twitter here: http://www.twitter.com/laylagrace

I am so excited for today! Today my friend, Kim, and I are going on an adventure! We are seeking out new locations where we could possibly shoot our sessions! Our creative souls are hoping to be fed. But not only that, we get to spend the day together conjuring up great new ideas for our businesses! I can’t wait to share with you what we find! And I’m so excited to share with you a new idea for my blog that will hopefully have you laughing, interested and connected!

Inspired by the phenominal Lindsey Stradtner, I thought I’d share a few pics from my iPhone. A collection of snippets from my daily life, including food (ha! there’s not much of these anymore as I started watching what I eat. Kendall, if you’re watching, no, that chocolate chip cake and PB cookies were eaten last year, long before I committed to changing!), fun, family and iphone art.

Here comes the sun | Christie Lacy Houston Photographer

Christie Lacy Photography — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 14:46:23 +0000

We were so worried. Worried that the temperture would be too cool, worried that it would be raining, worried for the wind. For 3 days prior I kept checking my weather app on my iPhone to see if there’d been any change to what was supposed to be a gloomy cold Saturday. Even that morning I begged and pleaded that God would give me beautiful blue skies and warmth.

I met them at our location with excitement. This family had won a silent auction item at the annual Wee Wuns Fall Festival. The grandmother had set it up so that I would photograph her whole family, including her two daughters and their families. One drove all the way from Austin and I’m sure she was just as worried as I about the weather!

But, in the end, the sun did shine, the rain did stop. And I do think we had a fantastic time! Here’s just a peek of the fun!

I wanted to share with you a slideshow of the I family (you saw a few of their photos a couple posts back). As I was editing them I was completely thrilled with the gorgeous light that was available and all the vivid colors! I couldn’t help but share that joy with you too! Please take a look! It may take a minute to load, but as always, totally worth it!!
