welcome to my blog

Maricruz here! Welcome to my little corner of the web where I share my creative side. I’m based in central Houston, where I freeze moments in time for families. I believe every moment is a beautiful memory that deserves to be captured.

Dear Child May | Houston Child Photographer

I was asked to join this amazing circle of photographers to write a letter to our child each month and i could’t say NO and if i would have i would of beat my self up for it. YES a little over dramatic but…. i think it’s a great way to remember a little about each month and save it for them to see when they grow older. so stick around for each months blog post and remember that it’s every 20th of each month. 

Dear Izabella,

you are such an independent spirit little girl, you can’t be held under four walls, you love your freedom and i love that about you. You have such an amazing kind little heart that grows and grows each day which makes me want to squeeze you even more. I have found my self staring at you more often than usual and i go in to this daydream and see  you at thirteen years old… call me crazy but i’m scared of time passing by to fast (which I’m completely grateful because you are such a healthy child) and not being able to sync everything in. Explorer at it’s finest, i can see you packing up and leaving to explore what’s out there for you, not being afraid of anything and enjoying every bit of it. I see you in the backyard dancing freely, playing hula hoop (which by the way you have gotten so good at,) riding in your yellow/red car and see that that’s who you are and EXPLORER, who takes what she has in front of her and makes the best of it. That’s the kind of girl you are becoming and i’m not a zodiac kinda of gal but I heard someone say “you would always want a sagittarius girl ” and i didn’t even know what sign you where till days before this LOL… I know i know, but of course i googled it and to my surprise you are a sagittarius and it described you perfectly. And it doesn’t surprise me at all.

You know i’m always behind the camera capturing those special moments which i LOVE and i remember reading this blog post about making an effort to get in pictures with your children more often and not just say that you will but actually DO IT, which i promise to do more often because i recently asked my mom if she had any images of her and i together and she said no because she was usually the one taking them 🙁  ….. so yes it was 7pm and i was doing a little editing getting ready to put you to bed and you came and hugged me and glad i had my camera next to me ready to go maybe a little out of focus but BAM a very special moment between you and me.

baby number four | Cypress Tx Baby Photographer

Where do i start, where do i start????…. ok well first let me just say that this is more than just a client, Liz is my best friend who i consider a sister… and they are announcing that baby number four is ON THE WAY!! I couldn’t be happier for them… When i received that txt message saying “I’m pregnant” I couldn’t believe it!!! and of course i asked if this was a late april fools joke and i should know by know that this woman right here does’t JOKE around hehe….

I still remember getting that phone call from years back to tell me that she was expecting baby number three, I remember i was really excited because i told her “YAY, i get to shoot your maternity and newborn pics” hehe i was a started back then and you won’t see any of that work here on my blog because it was from a long time ago. LOL

Let me say that this mini announcement session was in the works for a few days we talked about what she wanted to do and finally after seeing a similar shot somewhere on the web i said i think this would be perfect for you guys… because Liz is the kinda person who likes easy and simple things… so what better way than to wear comfy clothes in the comfort of your own house/bed LOL and let everyone know that your pregnant, RIGHT? No JOKE she was in bed resting i got there she put on a white top, she put some gloss on her lips and session was done in less than eight minutes.

LOVE that Arispe was involved and was very excited about the whole baby announcement shoot. Can’t wait for the reveal mini session.. i will need to come up with an original idea instead of cutting a cake LOL.

It’s been a little over two months sense i joined in with these fabulous girls… and im happy to be back and hopefully stay on track hehe… let’s pray that i do.

any who… lets move on to a little about this session…. NEW LOCATION has been FOUND!!! I think that’s a reason to celebrate and well what better way then to test it out.. so that’s what we did this week. Of course my drama queen started with a little bad mood because she wanted to bring the whole box of toys from the car and this was a fifteen minute shoot because as you can see it was going to start pouring down on us… have i mentioned houston weather is kkkKRAZY…. ummm so yeah after giving me the cold shoulder for two minutes she got excited because she found a little patch of flowers and knowing my daughter that’s enough for her to have a great time and she did… after that you couldn’t stop her… she kept doing all these silly crazy facial expressions. nothing like a nice fun ten minute shoot. annndd mmm yeah a FREAKING huge score on the new location down the street from my house.
