I want to give a little shout out to @javi_glz for taking this photo of me at the #CaptureEastATX Insta meet. I'm now using it as my profile picture and I've been getting so many complements on it. I don't post a lot of photos of myself but I just love this one. Thank you again Javi! ✌🏼😁 #austintx #portrait #cactus #cactusbackdrop #DrawMeCarlos #imdigginit (at Austin, Texas)

I spent my two hour break at the Driskill's cafe yesterday. There wasn't really anyone else there and I got a little carried away with playing with the light. It's relaxing to have something capture your attention so much that you don't really feel time and you stop thinking about work or stress or your to-do list. 😌it was a very relaxing break and I will return. Also they have very good food if you've never been. @thedriskill #1886cafeandbakery #thedriskill #downtown #downtownaustin #austintx #rainbow #🌈 (at 1886 Cafe & Bakery)

These fallen speckled little leaves are the most beautiful things I've seen today. 💕😌💕#themostbeautifulthing #speckled #speckledleaves #fallenleaves #fallen #beautiful #leaves

Today I got caught up playing with some pebbles, sea glass and terra-cotta pieces that I collected on a beach in Cinque Terra, Italy. When creativity strikes ... don't you dare turn it away. #reminiscing #pebbles #seaglass #terracotta #photography #positivelycreative #justgowithit

Getting off work late means eating dinner late which means not a lot of options. Fortunately magnolias is all like "sorry, we're open" like everyday. #igaustintx #austintx #openlate #sorrywereopen #magnolias #neon #signage (at Magnolia Cafe South)

Glad I made it to the #CaptureEastATX instameet where I mingled with fellow photographers and really got in that "photography zone". Can't wait for the next one! @markyatx the back of yo head is ridiculous! 👌🏼 #igaustintx #igaustin #25 #austintx #itendtoblend (at Fair Market)

I finally gave @champagnelindsay her birthday present last weekend. I embroidered an original design of her self motivation hashtag "Lindsaylivesherbestlife". I even embroidered her name in her own hand writing. Happy 25th birthday Lindsay! #embroidery #embroideryart #hoopart

Yesterday I went to movie in the park with the besties at Patterson Park to see Aladdin. I didn't realize the clouds were the opening act. #austintx #austin #atx #austinparks #austinparksfoundation #clouds #☁ #goldenhour #cloudappreciation #cloudappreciationsociety (at Patterson Park)
