Hola! My name is Chaz Cruz and I am a photographer based out of San Diego, CA. My specialties include weddings, fashion and lifestyle portraits. This blog is named after my obsession with "The Office" and of a lovable character named Creed Bratton. He writes about his random musings under a blog titled "Creed Thoughts," so I thought I'd do the same and name it "Chaz Thoughts." So please, browse around and don't forget to leave me a comment or two!

So I have a certain order in how I do my blog posts, but to save Venus from waiting a few more weeks for her turn, I decided to post it up today so that she won't keep Doug awake with the constant sound of the mouse clicking the refresh button on my blog, haha. So Venus this post is definitely dedicated to you!

Catherine and Eric don't like kissing, so of course I made them kiss as much as possible. Haha, just kidding. We headed over to the University of California, San Diego and visited some of Catherine's old's haunts when she was a student there.
