I always do studio sessions of my kids and they have so much fun, so I decided to offer them to others. They are quirky, silly, and goofy. Kids being kids.
I sure do adore this little family. Thanks to the Curtis family for driving all the way from Kansas for a family shoot with me. You make me feel so special :)Here is a little peek from your Sunday morning family shoot. I hope you enjoy. 
Thanks Carter family for a fun evening. I love working with you all. And I love the navy and green colors!
Congratulations to Sara and Tobi! Your wedding was beautiful at Willow Bend. And I love the swing you made just for your wedding. It is so beautiful!
So these two are getting married today. Happy wedding day Sara and Toby!
Knox turned one back in February and I can't believe I haven't posted these yet. It is always a joy to work with this sweet family. They are past wedding clients, and I did a couples shoot for them not long ago too.And then I had the pleasure of photographing their sweet little boy who is the most stylist little thing I've ever seen. I mean, look at him :)
So cute right?!
I love working on Curtis and Meagan's wedding. I'm currently editing through them and wanted to share their first look experience. They did a first look with out actually seeing each other. It was sweet, touching, and adorable. They exchanged gifts, read letters, and smiled... A LOT.
Congratulations to this beautiful bride, Meagn and her groom. She was radiant this Saturday and I think all he saw that night was her. They were quite cute together. And take a look at the cute bride and groom painting Meagan made. She is so talented and there are lots more great DIY wedding decor to come.Congratulations to you Meagan and Curtis.
Stephanie is a stunning bride. Her beauty is beyond gorgeous. I mean can we all say "WOW"!! I also received the sweetest email from her and it blessed me tremendously. (below) Thank you a thousand times over.
"The pictures are positively stunning!! I'm so thankful that I got the chance to work with you. You were the best decision we made for the wedding. I keep finding myself going back and looking at the pictures over and over again because you couldn't have done a better job at capturing the amazing moments that Kirk and I will always cherish. From five years ago at my sisters wedding, to the family portraits, to my own wedding, you continue to be an inspiration and a blessing in our lives. God has truly blessed my family with you and your amazing talents. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for being such a wonderful part of this special time in our lives!!"
Ashely and Lee, your wedding was beautiful and so sweet and moving. Thank you for choosing me to be your wedding photographer. I feel so blessed to be apart of your fabulous day.You two are radiant standing side by side each other. Have fun on your honeymoon!! oxoxox
Here is a peek for you to enjoy :)
These two are just adorable together. You know what makes an engagement session successful? When you, as the soon-to-be bride and groom focus on each other and show affection for one another. Keep your mind on your beautiful/handsome fiance and love on each other. It really is simple. Just focus on one another, and you will get reactions like this from Sara and Tobi. Oasis Park was the perfect place for these two, because they love outdoors and they were in there elelment.
I look forward to their wedding in July!
Before these two headed back to Italy, we did a photo shoot to capture her daughters sweet personality at this stage in her life as a three year old.More to come!
I love little baby toes.
Here is a sneak peek of the beautiful Mariah and Starla. They are best friends and I love they decided to celebrate their friendship by doing a photo shoot together. They were so fun, the weather was beautiful and our first location was heavenly. 
Tonight was a pleasant evening photographing this sweet baby and her parents. She has a head full of hair and a sweet spirit. When I held her I started swaying and doing the "sh-sh-sh" thing you do when you hold a baby :) I think it is something I will always do when I hold a newborn baby.
So as school is ending, I am trying to think of the perfect gifts for Benson's teachers. They have been incredible this year, and I couldn't have asked for better ones. I know God put him in this classroom for a reason, and Ben and I have loved watching Benson grow in his character as well as intillectually. He is one smart cookie with a super sweet heart.
One idea we are doing is giving them a Cristy Cross Photography gift card.
This is also available to you to purchase for your childs teacher. Contact me at 575.219.9312 or cristy@cristycross.com if you would like to give one to your super awesome teacher too.
They can use it towards a portrait session for their family or towards any products CCP offers.
Happy Monday!

I'm working on this wedding and felt like I needed to share a peek of Stephanie's bridal shoot. I mean, come on! Bombshell beauty!! 
When you have a beautiful smile, and a contagious laugh to go with it you can't help but make people happy. Congratulations Sydney on graduating this month. You are going to go places with your friendly personality.I wish you all the best!
This bridal shoot started off with a little surprise from the bride's father. As she walked the halls in Hotel Clovis, she didn't know he would be there, and when she walked out the tears started flowing from both of them. (And me too) It was such as sweet moment.Samantha is a stunning bride and I'm so thankful to work with people like her. I know God sends me clients for a reason, and she has been a blessing to work for. She illuminates beauty from the inside out. Thank you Samantha for choosing me to photograph your bridal shoot and your wedding day. Both events were so enjoyable to be apart of.
Here is what she had to say when she saw her wedding photographs:
"Cristy,
I just wanted to let you know how unbelievably grateful I am for you!! You absolutely captured the beauty in our big day so perfectly! I'm blown away by all the beautiful shots that you took. You're the bomb dot com. Thank you so very much for being one of the biggest parts of our wedding day. Because of you, we will have photos to cherish and remember every detail of that day. Thank you so much again!"
