I Heart Faces: Pink Week!

I'm entering this week's "I Heart Faces" challenge. This is my very first time entering. Today, I was spending time with my best friend when the urge to make cupcakes struck us! I took advantage of the situation and made cupcakes in honor of Breat Cancer Awareness month and then decided to incorporate the cupcakes with this week's challenge on "I Heart Faces!"

So, here is my photo entry, featuring my best friend and delicious cupcakes! :) I haven't enjoyed them yet, but I plan on doing so quite soon. :) Comments are appreciated !!!

never pretty enough.

I follow several inspirational photographers on Tumblr, Twitter, Flickr, Blogger, Facebook, and so on and most of them are amazing self-portrait artists. I've always tried my hand at doing self-portraits, but I've never felt pretty enough to do them. The inspiration only comes when I'm alone and when I feel the most down. Then I try and most often I end up frustrated because I only believe that I'm proving myself correct. I take pictures. I see all of my flaws and never pay attention to the things that might be beautiful. So, today... some of this changed... maybe.

I've had a very stressful year this year. From death to life to lost to loved to hated to shattered; all of it. It's all going to be okay, though. At least that's what I have to constantly tell myself. If I don't then I'm not going to make it through. So what to do when I'm alone and feeling completely shattered?



And though I just typed this, the horrible feelings come back the second I look at my phone. They try and bring me down, and honestly they're succeeding. They've won. I've lost, and they have won.

I thought that maybe, just maybe she would be on my side, but she's not. They're not. Anyways, now that I'm feeling awful again, I'm going to go ahead and post the pictures I took. The ones that I felt at least okay in. Now I'm doubting them.

So I have to do it before I don't.
That's all I've got to say.

dramatic black and white.

Just entered a contest on I Heart Faces for teenagers. The theme was: Dramatic Black & White. I hope my photo does okay. :)That's all I got for now. I know, I'm boring these days.
xoxo, Sarah.

summer sessions.

This summer I have only done two sessions. I wish there were more for me to do, but nobody seems willing enough. It's hard to find people in a small town like this, but I think I've made do?

I'll post some pictures from the two sessions that I've done. The first one was my baby sister's senior pictures at Big Spring in Van Buren, Missouri --- I'll post these later -- and the second one was on empty land that had nothing but a big red barn. It was of a very large family, and probably one of my best yet.



More from this session can be seen on my Facebook fan page!

And that's it for now!
Check back later.
xoxo, Sarah

i'm awesome; no you're not dude, don't lie.

so... i graduated high school. -cheers-
should feel more special than this, but it doesn't.

wish i were awesome enough to do something memorable at graduation.
obviously i'm not. oh well.

here's a picture that tiffany snapped at graduation.
i'm not much in the blogging mood today. :/

you're a time bomb, baby.. ?

So, I haven't been on my Blogger in too long and I think it's only appropriate to start blogging again. Why not? It's a good outlet, isn't it? I like to blog, talk about my feelings and stuff. I just get frustrated when nobody listens, and that happens all the time - people just write their hearts out for everyone to see, but nobody cares.

I feel like one of those people that nobody cares about. It's whatever though. :/

I'm going to start doing stuff on here like I used to though, because I'm cool like that.
I wish I had more to say, but right now I don't.

Photoshoot in forty-five minutes.
