It is such an honor to work with you all and your beautiful families. Not all of the wonderful families are pictured below, but I do want to say you all have been a pleasure to work for. I look forward to working with you again in 2015.
You have all been a wonderful group of people to work with. I feel so blessed to be chosen as your wedding photographer. Thank you.
I remember shooting this wedding last year in the FREEZING cold. Such a beautiful wedding in Palo Duro Canyon. At the end, when we said our good byes to the bride and groom, it even started snowing. Talk about the coolest send off! 
This holiday season is a perfect time to go check out The West Table in downtown Lubbock, Texas.It has a sophistcated industrial atmosphere and excellent food. You will want to try everything once you see the menu.
"The center driving force for The West Table is a husband and wife team, Cameron and Rachel West. They hope to add to the Lubbock restaurant industry by using local ingredients in their changing seasonal menu as well as featuring local live music and participating in the First Friday Art Trail."-The West Table website
A really cool feature about The West Table are the actual tables. Cameron's grandfather, Bill Shambeck, was a cotton farmer in the area and the tables that we have are reclaimed wood from an old cotton gin here in Lubbock."-Rachel West
"Cameron is also the grandson of Dirk West, local cartoonist and former mayor [of Lubbock]. As an homage to Dirks' Round Table at the Lubbock Country Club, the Chef's Table will be built in honor of him. " -The West Table website (featuring Raider Red in the center of the table)

The West family needed to update their family pictures and get some shots of their new restaurant in downtown Lubbock, Texas.Not only is this family adorable on so many levels, but their restaurant, The West Table has a fabulous atmosphere and it was a perfect pairing for their session.

Check out the family session sneak peek below, but also go and make reservations at The West Table. You won't be disappointed. One of my favorite dishes was the beet salad. It was SO good.
I could just gobble up the cuteness from these little boys.
Look at these little cuties on the 2014 Christmas cards.So cute right!
Laughter is the best medicine, and with these two kids around, there is constent laughter.I just love this beautiful people. I mean, it is my best friend and her family, but still. They are kind of awesome. I'm totally not biased :)
When it snows around here we get very excited. I was so pumped to have a session on the day it snowed too with the lovely Schaap family. Not gonna lie though. It was FREEZING. We had to take breaks from shooting and warm up by the fire, then go shoot again. My toes were frozen, my fingers were numb and the gloves I was wearing made it hard to focus the lens, BUT it all worked perfectly.Here is a peek of the Schaap's super awesome snowy session.
The McDonald's were brave for their shoot on a windy and chilly day. It didn't stop the little girl from being oh-so-cute.Thank you for letting me document sweet moments of your family.

Okay ya'll. I really love the studio mini sessions. I love how the turn out. I love the simplicity of them. And I love working with so many wonderful people. All of these kids were fun and spunky, adorable and cute. You might even think they all really like each other as brothers and sisters and cousins. They are actually touching and sitting close! Here is a little peeky peek for you.
Thanks to all of these families for participating in the Fall Studio Mini Session.
This couple was so smitten over each other during their first look. You could feel and see the nerves and excitement on their faces.I mean, it was super sweet and heartfelt.
I love first looks.
What are you wearing for your family session? Take this pink and navy blue idea paired with denim that the Curtis kids wore for their session.Aren't they adorable?!
There are still a few spots available for the Friday, November 14th Studio Mini Sessions. Here's a look at what they will be like. Lots and lots of fun :)
Thank you Holly for your sweet testimony on your experience with the studio min sessions. I loved working with you all your beautiful kids.
"I loved doing a studio mini session with Cristy Cross Photography. Twenty minutes with 4 kids was just enough time to keep their attention and Cristy captured priceless moments. I loved all the pictures and will definitely be doing another studio mini session in the future!!"
-Holly Hamilton
This is one good looking family. Don't you agree? Thanks for driving two hours for a family session with me at Oasis Park. I loved working with all of you and I love the navy blue and neutral color palette. 
The Martin's wanted to create something like the Hilfiger ads for their family session. I'm totally loving what they came up with. They are blessed with finding awesome antiques such as the gold velvet bench. Pretty great right?!Thanks Martin family for choosing me to photograph your beautiful family.
Here is a peek from their session...
