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.

Cypress Texas Family Photography

Cypress Texas Family Photography

I don’t get to see this family as much as I would love to. As you can see they have five adorable children and they are always busy and on the road. I was so happy to hear back from them this spring and here is a little bit of what i was able to capture for them. Also, this is one of my favorite locations in Cypress, Texas.

I don’t know about all of you, and I am speaking to photographers and business owners. But I don’t always hear back from my clients after I’ve delivered a gallery. When I do hear back it makes my freaking week. No joke, I love hearing back and getting reviews. This momma decided to post all her gallery on facebook and I was so humbled by the words she wrote.

There has only ever been one person that I trust enough to take our family portraits. Maricruz thank you for taking these amazing pictures of our “lil” familia. These pictures truly capture what our family is made of. A little silly, a little laughs, a little tears, a lot of happy and an unmeasurable amount of love.

Grateful for the everyday

Melissa thank-you so much for your kind words, they have more meaning than you can imagine.

If you live in Houston or around the area you are experiencing rainy days. For some, photography isn’t a big deal. But what you don’t know is that Houston is filled with a lot of photographers and for the most part if it rains we can’t work or at least photograph those beautiful families, babies, couples, weddings, etc, outside.

I believe that rain is a blessing because If I can’t meet that fun-loving family at our location, it means that I get to stay home and spend more time with my family and catch up on work. Which means I am home and blogging this gorgeous Cypress session.

This caterpillar turned ONE… Houston Birthday Party Photography

This caterpillar turned ONE

Birthday parties are one of my favorite things to photograph. It is full of props and great colors, let’s not forget it includes CAKE! I’ve been capturing these sweet yet unforgettable moments for many families over the years. This family in particular has the best Houston birthday parties. Let me take you back to a one of my favorite ones, RAWR. Such a fun party, right?

Houston Birthday Party Photography 

Part of being a business owner in this industry, which is photography. You have to find the time to blog your recent sessions or better yet, make the time. I must say that this year keeping the blog updated was the least of my worries and put it on my “do not do list.” I’m the first one to admit it, there I said it. But y’all, It is so hard sometimes and that’s no excuse, I know. Clients or potential clients want to know what you have worked on recently and the blog is a great way for them to find out. Not everyone has Instagram or Facebook and let me just throw this out there while I am being completely honest, I’ve also dropped the ball on social media. I’m the worst, I know.

Everyday is a new day

If you haven’t heard of Rachel Hollis you must grab her new book and read it! Like NOW. She is my new spirit animal and her words have stuck with me. And my new motto is, “Everyday is a new day.” I have done more in the past two weeks than in the past five months. My website needed new content and maybe it also needs a new design, but I need money for that and It will have to wait a little longer. HA!

I will continue some of this on my next blog post… stay tuned.

Newborns are also part of Maricruz Photography… Lifestyle Newborn Photographer Houston

Newborns are also part of Maricruz Photography

My uterus explodes of joy every time I get a booking for newborn babies in Houston. It was the start of 2018 and my first lifestyle newborn session was in the books. Excuse my tardiness on blogging this sweet sweet newborn session, but I was too busy shooting and editing.

Maricruz Photography doesn’t have a studio of her own, but Houston has so many great studios up for rent. I love shooting in families homes, it makes it easier on them and they are more comfortable. We can also photograph a newborn session outside, if you take a look here you will see how much fun it is.

Bring me your babies

I don’t want to sound like a crazy woman, I promise, I am not crazy. Haha, newborn babies are just a favorite of mine since I was young. I would absolutely love being able to capture more newborn sessions. Maricruz Photography needs new clients and a great way to start is a newborn session. My arms are wide open and would love to have you and your family be part of my client list.

Fall Sessions

My schedule for this fall is filling up fast. If you are planning on booking a session with me I would suggest to do it soon rather than later. Saying “NO” to a family or momma for that case absolutely breaks my heart. I am so grateful for all the families I get to see in the upcoming weeks.

November 10 has three available time slots for PJ minis. Use the contact tab if you would like more details.

Here are some of the PJ sessions from last year. A whole new set up is planned for this November and I can’t wait to share it with y’all.
