The Morris's Studio Mini Session
/Check out how fun and spunky the Morris kids are. We also added Carlos in for a few shots to liven it up a bit. I think they had fun punching him around :) I am so thankful for this family. Thank you Sara Morris for your kind words. You are the sweetest.
"My kids were so excited to do a photo shoot with you. You have helped them love having their pictures taken. They enjoy being themselves and not feeling like they have to pose and turn or tilt a certain way. They feel comfortable and that allows them to be free to be themselves. You truly capture their personalities in these pictures. Both kids had so much fun. They ask "when are we taking pictures again, we love Cristy!" Katy loves to show off her pictures and tell people that her friend Cristy Cross took them.
Mike always hated having pictures done, both couple and family pictures. Then we had our first family session with you, he said "we will never do studio sessions again, Cristy is our photographer."
God had blessed you with an amazing talent and we are blessed to have found you so you can share your talent with us."

"Our family has used Cristy Cross Photography for a number of years. From newborn portraits to family pictures our experience is always the same...amazing! Now with a 3 year old and a 5 year old, life gets crazy and these moments are so special. Having the opportunity to do a mini session with Cristy offers us beautiful, priceless, fun pictures that are stress-less and perfect for the attention span of my two boys. Moments in their life that I will cherish."

The McDonald's Clovis, NM Family Session
/Okay so let me tell you a little about this awesome family. The mom is one of my bootcamp buddies, and we partner up on a lot of stuff at BC. I try to keep up with her on chin-ups, but she is kind of a beast when it comes to those. And for those who know the dad, ask him about his expertise in posing for the camera.A little "behind the scenes" on this first photograph: the kids was telling "yo momma" jokes and they were very hilarious. I mean, where do they come up with this stuff. This was a first for me during family sessions. haha
Second photograph "behind the scenes": the kids have so much energy and were running around majority of the session. I wish I had their energy!
Enjoy!
