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!

The sweetest name, Amy Ripp (short for Ripplinger), how cool is that!?! Haha, anyway, Amy and I have been trying to get together for a session and when we finally did we had a lot of fun ideas that we wanted to do. I wanted to get some movement in my shots, so Amy happily obliged and got moving for me! I also had an idea to get a little darker mood, so with the help of photographer/actress/make-up artist for the night, Emily Sandifer, we got the look I wanted.

Amy and I had a little hard time trying to get her eyes just right, I would have her squint for me to get a harsher look, then once that strobe goes off her eyes would shoot wide open. Haha, we kept trying for 5 minutes it was pretty hilarous. But I actually like her look in that shot instead of the harsher eyes, so it was all moot anyway. On to dancing!
