Day Two, February 17th, 2014. Sarah Centeno. Stretch Photos.
This is the very talented singer/performer, Sarah Centeno! I have shot with Sarah a few times now, and we always have fun. She is super chill- just listen to her music, and you can tell!
Sarah's new single "Everytime" will
be released on iTunes in a few weeks-and it will be available for
purchase. You should check it out! It's an introduction to her full album "Let Go." A video will also be
released a few weeks later. I'm excited to see/hear these new exciting things from her!
You can also check out her latest cover of Beyonce's "Love On Top," on YouTube. Seriously, guys, do it. I'm listening to it right now. Such a big voice, from such a sweet tiny girl. She can SING!
For more info on Sarah, check out her website. And don't forget to "like" her on Facebook!

I totally forgot to take a photo yesterday! I didn't even make it four days, yall. Haha. It's really difficult to get things done when you have an 8 week old baby... but I really want to do this! So, I am resetting. The good news is that I have a lot of beautiful models scheduled to shoot this week, wahooo! So, keep your eyes peeled. I know we all like to look at beautiful models!
This is Jasmine, from Agence Red Wall. She is only 15, and she already ROCKS the camera! Not only that, but she is super sweet and easy to work with. I can't wait to see where the modeling world takes this young superstar. If you are looking for a fresh young face, she's your girl! She models not only in San Antonio, but in Austin, where she lives. Hit her up!

Ok, does video count as photography? Because I did video today. I tried to do a photo, but it just wasn't working properly. I need to think out how to execute the concept better... in the meantime, enjoy this video of what we were trying to do, but failed at. I love that I've already failed on only day three, haha. Anyway, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! I'm off to a movie with the hubs, while the video loads. Hopefully you will see it when it is done... if not, I'll fix it when I get back! :D
I got them while he was out getting dinner. Isn't it more fun that way? More like a surprise? How did he DO that? He must have some serious pull with UPS.
I was cheesing from the moment I saw the word "flower" on the box. I am always hinting at wanting flowers, and he finally did it. It means so much that he listened. His message was super sweet, too.
"To the most wonderful woman in the world! I am so very happy to be raising a family with you. Happy Valentines Day! I love you so very much! Love, Lance."
As soon as I opened them, I knew I wanted to use them for today's photo, which is good, bc I had actually just cancelled with my subject, and was trying to think up something to shoot. Perfect timing.
So, today you get flowers. ROSES!
If my hubby is out there reading this:
Thank you, to the most wonderful man in the world! I enjoy raising a family with you. Happy Valentine's Day. I love you!
Since my little man is definitely the most important thing in my life right now, I thought it would be appropriate to kick off this daily photo project with an image of him. Of course, we had to pay an homage to photography itself, too! ENJOY!
I sort of disappeared for a bit... sorry about that! I was busy with the end of my pregnancy, and then tending to my new baby, Logan Earl Crowder (aka Logan-Pooh, Pumpkin, or Torpedo Baby). I am thoroughly enjoying snuggling my handsome little guy all day long, but I'm also ready to start shooting again! I am breastfeeding, though, which tends to take up ginormous amounts of time. Seriously. And when I'm not actually breastfeeding, I'm pumping. Or eating. Or sleeping.
So, I'm going to start in on work slooowwwwly. With very short shoots! Of course, I gotta make up for it somehow, right? Because I LOVE to be a busy-bee. So, I've challenged myself to do a photo a day. Wahoo!
This
project will be similar to the 365 project I started before,
but was unable to keep up with (I made it through 133 days)... only much more low key, and with no
focus, other than photography. No end date in mind... I'll just do it
until I don't. Haha. I'd love to do as much fashion as possible for this project, but it's probably not feasible for that to happen every day. On occasion, I may shoot something else. Heck, I may end up shooting something else EVERY day. Who knows? I have no idea where the project will take me. I'm completely open. I'm just going to shoot. Easy breezy. Minimal work, maximum output.
If you would like to be part of the project, I am
offering a ridiculously low rate once a day. A daily deal. Anyone can take advantage of this low
rate, but it is for one person only. I am still offering regular
sessions, as well (multiple person shoots as well as individual
sessions). The daily deal includes fashion, boudoir, glamour, beauty,
and all types of portraiture except for children under the age of 5 (those little boogers are cute, but small-child-energy is a bit more demanding, and thus require a regular session).
I leave you with the daily deal flier! Message me for more details and/or to book any type of shoot.
Finally, finally we can share these images! A few of these were published in Ellements Magazine's November issue, so we had to wait. I've been dying to share with you all! This shoot was SUCH a blast to put together. It really satistfied my craving for something creative, loose, and just plain FUN. I need MORE shoots like this in my life. I might even need more GLITTER in my life. ;D
The whole team for this shoot was just amazing. Everyone was inspired and pumped up, and you always get the best images from shoots where the whole team is really into it. Shawn's makeup is killer- so creative, the hair by Sierra is edgy, and yet beautiful, and the garments... well, we all wanted to purchase them from Valerie of Verseau. They are sexy, but classy! Of course, the model, Alex Hogston of Page Parkes brought her A game to this shoot, too.
The hardest part of this shoot for me was glittering that dang couch, haha. Talk about monotonous. But I think it was worth it, in the end.
Anyway, enjoy these images and this behind the scenes footage from the shoot. I hope you like it all as much as I do.
