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!

I decided to post this entry on my schools networking blog, Hallmark Hipsters. So if you want to read about it wit ha behind the scenes shot, make your way over to hallmarkhipsters.net!

I had the opportunity to photograph for First for Women magazine, which covers women's lifestyles (and has great recipes I might add). A national magazine based out of New Jersey, I got an email from the photo editor, Judy Ramirez, a Hallmark alumni (I love connections!), who needed someone to photograph Brettan for a piece in the magazine called "First Blush," which was about her most embarrassing wedding-guest moment. I happily obliged and enlisted the help of my styling crew, Rita and July, and another great photographer friend to assist me, Katy Marshall, to photograph Brettan! Phew! We headed over to Brettan's place and she told us the story (which you have to read about in the magazine!) and we had a great time, Brettan was awesome and the girls did a beautiful job styling, so all in all it was a great shoot!

My awesome help! Katy practicing for the shoot, she is now back in Louisiana, so if you need photography there, she's your gal! Then the amazing July and Rita!
