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!

You want a family with style, look no further than A, Be and Ayrton. A and Be's name was easy to remember but Ayrton took me a while, haha. We met in downtown San Diego, the came out of the car dressed to the nines and I knew this would be a perfect shoot.

Shane smiles way too much, which makes my photos look so much better, haha. Shane brought along his parents Kim and Don for a fun shoot in La Jolla!

Last week, I headed to Old Town in San Diego and met up with the super fun Pelonia's.

Meet Rufino and Dori! Dori had the funniest expressions, but I know she will get mad at me if I post it on here, haha.

And the kids Nick, Karren and RJ.

Welcome to the new year! I started it off photographing a family near and dear to my heart, the Salminao's! We had fun going to a local park and while it was a bit cold, they braved it and we came out with some great stuff.

After the big family shoot, we had time to photograph the kids, so here is cool Eyzian.

Then we had the cutest siblings ever, Justice and Kaiah.

Here we had them having fun with their dad, Dennis. Justice thought the reflector was the camera.

You always have to get kids running around!
