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!

Sometimes when thinking of cool names for my blog titles, all you have to do is drop by your clients Facebook page and bam! They already made a cool name for you, haha. So here is Martha and Vincent! We spent the morning together in Coronado playing around in the sand, Vincent was definitely having a blast!

Maternity shoots are fun for me because they are just like engagement shoots but in slow motion, haha. But here is Bernice and Arnold, they are expecting Aubrey next month!

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.
