Christina and Colin engagement shots

I haven't posted on here in quite some time, but I'm trying really hard to rediscover my creativity and find inspiration/motivation to do so.

A couple weeks ago I did some engagement shots for a friend, so I thought I'd share a few on here.

Comments and thoughts are always welcome!

I Heart Macro -- Rocks

It's been a little too long since I've participated in "I heart macro." So, enjoy!

Rediscovering self-motivation

About a week ago, I was cleaning my room and found these fortunes in a bag of my old stuff. I'm not sure why I held onto them a few years ago, but I'm glad I did. I feel that they'll be really helpful in my life right now.

I used to be an incredibly self-motivated person. I used to have huge dreams for myself and I used to tell myself that no one and nothing would ever stop me from reaching those dreams. Sometime during the past few years, however, I lost myself (or a part of myself, anyway). I lost that self-motivation and all that inspiration that I used to have in life. But now I'm determined to find it again. 

Over the past probably 7 years I've never really focused solely on myself, but instead more so on the people in my life. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I feel like I really lost a part of myself in doing so. But now, at almost 22, I feel like it's really time that I focus on me and my life. Attempting to get back on my feet, find my career and reach all the goals I've set for myself.

I heart macro: Mother's Day

I'm pretty sure today is the first Mother's Day that I'm not spending with my mom. I hate that I couldn't make it up to Dallas to be with her. But, since I couldn't, I figured I could at least make my post today about her. 
She made this ring for me quite a few years ago, hence why it's so beat up and stuff (it's used to be completely teal). When I moved, I brought it with me, although I haven't worn it in quite some time. It's one of the few things I have down here that she made/is from her. 

 Sorry for posting this photo, Mom. I'm sure you won't be happy about it, but you look great, so don't be too mad! :P 
I want to say I forced you to take this photo last Mother's Day, or shortly before. 

I really hate that I can't be spending today with my mom. I honestly don't know what I'd do without her. She's the best mom I could ever ask for/imagine. She has always thought about my brothers and myself, and I know she'd do anything for us. I hate not seeing her every day and being able to talk to her face-to-face. She has been there for me through so much, and she never really asked for anything in return. She's the most loving and selfless person I've ever met. I'm so lucky to call her my mom. I wouldn't be half the person I am today without her. 
I love you, Mom. I hope you're having a wonderful day. Hopefully I'll make it up there soon or you guys can come down here.Thank you for everything you've ever done for my and the guys. I know we don't say it enough, but I hope you know how grateful we are. You're the best.


Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms that happen to read this!

Just a little fyi about the images... The moth did die naturally. It was lying on my floor and when I noticed it, I thought it would make for a pretty neat shot.

I haven't uploaded on here in forever, but I need to start getting back into photography. So, I'm going to try to get back into uploading a macro shot every Sunday. I'll try to do it earlier than this, though.

My dad brought home this little guy (or girl) today. He said it was in his office at work. He let me take some shots of it before letting it go in our backyard. I thought it was so cute :X

It's late, but I wanted to upload this anyway.

I feel so small

I've posted this picture before, but it seems to fit how I feel today quite perfectly. 
In fact, I think I might redo this picture once I get home today (if I'm not completely drained from work).

About a week and a half ago I returned home from taking a two week vacation with my boyfriend. Although I didn't get a ton of shots while I was there, I uploaded the ones that I did get onto my Flickr. 

Check 'em out if you'd like.
