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!

Recently, I've teamed up with two great photographers, Kyla Akasha, owner and operator of Spotlight Studios, and Julio Fonyat, a wedding and surf photographer from Brazil, to take our businesses to the next level. When we all first met, Kyla was about to head to Las Vegas to marry her then-fiance Angel. So Julio and I thought it would be cool to do a bridal shoot with Kyla since she has such a cool look and it would be fun to all collaborate on a shoot together. So we headed in and around Kyla's beautiful studio in University Heights and rocked the shoot!

Since Kyla poses people everyday, she was so natural at posing.

It took me a while to decide if I wanted to keep or remove the flare at her feet, but I just love that the flare circles her shoes.

I love awesome alleys and buildings, especially if they are in the exact same spot.

I saw this hopscotch game on the sidewalk and knew we had to get these shots!

Of all the shots I've taken, this ranks as my second favorite (here is my first).
