Awaiting the gentle flakes of winter,
A quiet hope for brighter days,
Seeking a better outcome,
Longing for permission.

Permission to live,
Permission to be free,
Permission to be authentically me.

Overthinking haunts my mind,
Overdoing haunts my body.

So many thoughts,
Endless paths.

Which path holds my true calling?
Which path should I embrace?

I've heard whispers of abundance,
A birthright of love, wealth, and freedom.

Help me tune in,
Support us in creating the life of our dreams.

Eager to witness the fruits of my seeds sown, a decades dance.

I remain determined, working for a brighter tomorrow.
Each journey is unique, but the destination echoes the same.

Abundance, love, freedom.

The snow has arrived.
The shift has begun.

How is it that I did absolutely nothing when I got home from work last night but somehow I feel like I did so much? One word. Burn out.

Burn out is real and scary.
Forcing time for yourself is so important.
If you don’t, your body will do it for you and you might find yourself sick or something happening to you that forces you to sit down to relax and take some time for yourself.

Yesterday was the first night I was able to relax at home all week. To be honest with you I wasn’t really able to, but I forced myself to just relax. It feels weird. Like you’re cheating yourself out of achieving what you need to get done but taking that moment for yourself is so important especially when your task list is never ending.

If you find yourself in a situation like this, or if you were experiencing burn out. Take an evening for yourself and do something that makes you happy. Whether that be reading, taking a bath, drawing, writing, anything that truly lights you up or makes you feel relaxed. For me that was just sitting on the couch, putting my phone down and watching TV all night til bed lol

This is your reminder that you are amazing and we can handle/transform anything ✨💜

When we release our tight grip on achieving something exactly as planned, it can be so liberating. It uncovers new opportunities and can allow us to enjoy the journey even further. 💚✨

There’s so much emotion when I first created this image. When I come across this picture, I am reminded of the strength, beauty and wisdom that has shifted within me.

I am a new person every time I see this image, and I think that is so beautifully awesome. Every day we have a new chance. A new opportunity.

We become a new person.

Some thing I love playing around with sometimes is adding textures to my images to make them look more artistic, vintage and painterly.

This was such a fun image to play around with and create at the time. 🥰 Its one of my favorites, because it was my first time actually playing around with scale. I wasn’t afraid to try and fail. I genuinely just wanted to see what would happen and I love how it turned out. Created it in 2017. 💜✨

In honor of our anniversary I wanted to post this creative picture I made.

We loved the picture so much, we actually turned it into our wedding invitation! - which yes, of course I created that too! Scroll to next slide to see - We had a Game of Thrones themed wedding complete with a foam sword fighting pit, great music, and more! Our wedding was a dream come true, and a big preparation. We were engaged for two years before saying “I do” to ensure we had enough time to save and plan everything the way that we wanted. Here is a little sneak peek of what our wedding looked like.

Today I am so happy to spend the day with the love of my life. We have some fun adventures planned and I can’t wait!

Today marks our four year wedding anniversary, but it also marks 11 years of being together. I’m so lucky to be able to have grown along side my man for so long. Here’s to another 11 years of good times and learning/growing through the difficult times. There’s no one else I would want to experience this life with. My best friend, my lover and soulmate.

Try and try again.

My journey in creating whimsical fine art like this was a lot of trial and error. But if you don’t try, you’ll never know.

Thank you for trusting me with your annual photoshoot.

We dived into visually showing her evolved spirit. Not only in simple creative portraiture (which there is so much beauty in those photos) but by going into photoshop to bring the impossible to life.

Always remember you are worthy of living your dream life. Don’t be afraid of failure. It is within failure, mistakes and taking risks that we truly learn.

The meaning of this photo has changed over time.. when I first created it I had no inspiration - and used that as inspiration.

I just let it be created before my eyes..

Hunched over in a storm, having all these thoughts and ideas, but unsure of what direction to take.

Life can be a big guessing game and
sometimes is not all sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes the storms come regardless and it’s hard to make it through to the next day.

That’s what this image represents to me now. It represents spiritual growth. When the world feels like it’s crashing around me, I try to keep the light in my heart. Knowing that it will all be over soon. While I am waiting for the storm to pass, I try and think of the lessons that it is trying to teach me.

At the end of every storm comes a rainbow. 🌈

Meet Sara
Miss zodiac spiritual queen ✨ 👑 🌙 ♋️
And today is her birthday!

Sara is a cancer with a beautiful soul. ✨ Creating with her was so much fun! I knew when we first discussed this concept that I wanted to do a powerful image of her with her zodiac sign or something in tribute to that, behind her. Showing of her amazing, mystical energy ♋️✨💜🌙

I know I’m double posting today, but how can I not? Gotta celebrate Miss Sara on her special day 💜✨

I created a few bday themed images together. So happy to provide her all these images. And there’s still more to come! 💜✨

Also: I just want to take a quick moment and say to y’all; This is your reminder that you are amazing and we can handle/transform anything ✨💜

Taking it back to 2019 for this Tuesday morning post.

I’m not sure if I can take it anymore.
Everything hurts. I feel like I’m cracking inside.

So much love, but so much pain. I don’t know which way to go or which way to turn.
Perhaps I’m not supposed to go anywhere at all.. and perhaps, maybe I was supposed to come to this realization.

Consuming the problems around me.. hiding behind my human mask.. this is not me. I feel like I’m so much more, but yet, so less.

Four years later and I’m still here. Taking that next uncertain step, not 100% sure where it will lead, but 100% sure everything will unfold the way it needs to. I’ve learned that life is our greatest teacher, and when things go wrong, it is never the end of the story. There is always something to learn, a realization to be had, or an opportunity to unfold.

Creating this image was one of the hardest things that I had done so far. I knew I wanted to create a galaxy coming out of her chest. It was included in my clients mood board and on the day of the shoot we even took the stock photos that we would need for it.

When it came time to creating. I first started doing all of my basic techniques for blending and compositing. It wasn’t working.

I even tried to get the AI tool to help me. Long story short, it did not. Lol.
The results that came up to try and help me with were hilarious, and not what I was looking for.

“OK..” I thought ..
I gotta try something different.

I let myself go.
I took a breathe, relaxed and I allowed myself to experiment and fail if need be, as I tried different techniques that would allow me to bring my unique and creative vision to life.

Failures are just successes waiting to happen.

I present to you: Serendipity ✨

Don’t forget, the day you plant the seed is not when you eat the fruit. Allow some time and life will show you what lies beyond what you even thought possible.

Earlier this year in February, I took some self portraits for my birthday turning the big 3.0

Other than editing them in Lightroom I never really got a chance to dive deep into Photoshop with them. Hopefully I will be able to at some point, but, until then I wanted to share what I captured, because I think they are still beautiful 💜✨

Over my 30 years of living. I wanna share 5 life lessons that I have picked up along the way.

✨ You will always be your oldest friend. Take care of you and don’t be so hard on yourself.

✨ Slow progress is better than no progress.

✨ Letting people be wrong about you or a situation while keeping your peace is a huge game changer. People are going to talk about you, no matter what you do. So you might as well do what brings you joy and live your best life. 💜

✨ When you practice being thankful for the little things as well as the big things, you attract more things to be thankful for.

✨ You deserve to be loved without having to hide the parts of yourself that you think are unlovable.

✨ Bonus:
Everything will be ok. No matter what awful curveball(s) life throws at us. The pain/suffering we feel is only temporary. In time, everything heals.

It will be ok.

You will be ok. 💜✨

Be kind. To yourself, to your loved ones, to your foes. Just be kind. Why? Because kindness begins with understanding that no one is perfect, we all have struggles, and you never really know what someone else is going through under the surface. The one unanimous truth that unites us, is that no matter who you are, we all want to be loved and accepted. We are all deserving of that love. So be kind. Even when you don’t have to, and especially when you don’t want to. Good will always come out of it as a result. ✨

“I am the designer of my own future.” - unknown

You don’t know, if you don’t try. 💜✨

I remember seeing an image earlier this year of a woman transitioning into a waterfall. I thought it was so beautiful and powerful. So I decided to do my own spin on it for my client!

The concept of our theme together was: spiritual zodiac queen. (With a lil whimsical book tribute for her love of reading. 🥰)
But yeah, so I thought that waterfall idea just meshed so well with the concept, so I decided to take my own crack at it.

I absolutely love how it turned out! It’s definitely giving off powerful, independent, and magical energy ✨ My favorite part of this piece is probably the metallic rainbow sky. 🌈💙✨ It’s a representation of the energies around us and how we constantly manipulate them whether we realize it or not. But when we do, it’s the most beautiful thing to witness. ✨

Hey!

I know there are some new faces, but if you've been following me for a while, you've noticed I've been MIA for most of 2023.

There’s a quote I came across in '22;
“You can’t pour from an empty cup”.
I didn’t realize how true that was until I was physically experiencing it.

May of 2022, I started feeling burnt out. Not creatively, but more physically/mentally. I didn’t want to stop shooting tho, so I pushed through. Right up until I crashed in the Fall/Winter.

I kept my books open for clients but, stopped doing TFPs. I started focusing on myself.

I never saw myself as a priority to take care of, but damn, we are probably the most important thing TO take care of. Otherwise, we will start to decline. Including our health.

In Jan, I stumbled upon free class on how to NOT counter manifest.

She did a deep dive on the topic, but in short.. I learned our subconscious brain can sometimes counter manifest our desires, without us realizing it.

Preventing us from getting what we want. I have more on this topic, but for now; Live life with an open heart and don’t be afraid to ask the universe, god, etc. for what you want/need.

Say; “I want … to experience, a fuller and more expansive version of me, but I love and am grateful for the version of me now.”

This class unexpectedly brought me back onto my spiritual path. It helped me realize where I was in life, and where I wanted to go. Recognizing my love as agape; we are all powerful beings that deserve to create and be happy.

My fine art is a representation of that. Look at my previous work on Instagram.com/angel.augustina.art

It’s magical, it’s unusual, it’s creative.
It makes you wonder and daydream.
It generates emotion, and I feel awakens the soul.

That is me.
That is a Angel Augustina photography.
Soul awakening Photographer.

After focusing on myself, my work, and my life for a bit. I feel I am ready to come back to social media now. Thank you for being patient with me. 🙏 I can’t wait to share all of my new work with you! 😇📸✨💜

And don’t forget.
We can do anything 🥰✨

full of twists and turns, ups and downs, and unexpected surprises. It's up to us to embrace the challenges and find meaning in the journey, because at the end of the day, it's not the destination that matters, but the experiences we have along the way.” - unknown

This image was created in tribute to my clients love for reading.
When you read, it’s like escaping reality. Escaping all your problems, and entering a completely new world. This image is a representation of that. 💜

I was honored to get hired do another cosplay shoot. I am ABSOLUTELY in love with how it turned out! I will be sharing more from the session.. maybe in reel form? 😜

I just wanna do a quick shout out to my amazing client
It was so cold while we were shooting but, I swear I have the best clients! Valerie was a champ! You couldn’t even tell it was cold. We flowed into specific poses to allow the Photoshop stuff to be done in post processing. We probably shot for no more than 30 minutes. When I say it was cold, it was cold!!! Lol

But dang, magic was made.

Coming undone.

This image represents vulnerability and opening up to situations. Sometimes it can be extremely hard, given the circumstances.

But being uniquely you is the best thing you can do. Only one pair of eyes, sees things the way you do and only one beautiful mind thinks the way you do.

Open up and share more of your amazing self to the world. 💜💜💜

Friendly reminder to take some time today to reconnect with yourself, your vision, your loved ones, and your purpose. These days, it seems everyone wants to embrace the “hustle” mindset. But you want to know what will really help you succeed? Learning to slow down. Giving time to yourself. Take breaks and do something you love, simply because you love it. It’s a good thing to be busy. Just don’t get so caught up in your work, you forget what you’re working for and why you started in the first place! 💜✨🌈

Taking it back to 2020 for this post 💜

I remember when I first created this image in 2018. It was so empowering for me to see myself in this way.

Where I was able to start rising above everything I thought that was holding me back. My fears, my worries, my troubles, etc.

The version of me on the ground is emitting black smoke. To represent the darkness inside of me that I was trying to let go of. And then the version of me standing represents clarity. I’m looking at myself going through the trials and troubles, understanding that I needed to go through those things in order to rise above it and see things a little bit more clearly for what they were. The version of me standing up is emitting white smoke to represent the darkness that has been transmuted into light.

Today, this is still one of my favorite images I have ever created.

2023 is a new era.
An era of self love and acceptance. ✨

I read something last week from I want to share. She said, “It’s time to unlearn that you have to sacrifice your authenticity in order to fit in and be liked.”

She said that, we can hold ourselves hostage, because we believe we have to follow an acceptable path in society. Instead of doing what we desire, we do what we think is expected of us. Unknowingly reducing our inner light.

I definitely resonated with that, because it’s something I’ve been working on myself. One of the things I’ve been doing; A tip I want to share on this is; start by asking yourself questions. Why am I not showing up authentically? Why am I holding back? Am I scared? Do I feel judged?, etc.

🪩 What happened? Start writing down the answers of why you feel that way. Get raw and write from the heart. What is stopping you from expressing yourself wholeheartedly?

🪩 Now I want you to write a new divine rule you can live by. Mine in the comments!

Revealing your genuine, authentic self, is a beautiful gift. For yourself and others. You shine brighter and help uplift those around you. 💜🌈✨

If you feel comfortable, I would love for you to comment your new divine rule, or one of them if you wrote down multiple 💜

The reason I'm going back to my roots and creating works of art like this again is not only because I absolutely love getting creative in Photoshop but because there is a bigger meaning, a bigger purpose that has a part to play. This world can be so dark sometimes and for a lot of us that darkness is within ourselves. We are taught certain beliefs and ways of thinking that subconsciously perpetuate our depression or the negative things happening around us, because we were not taught how to overcome our thoughts when they go south. We have to figure that out for ourselves.

One day you’re seeing yourself as the baddest bitch alive and the next you are your own worst critic. How do we stop the cycle? After years of practicing on and off, I finally figured it out. There’s certain tools and techniques that help re-wire our brain. Step by step. My goal is to help people find the light within themselves again and tune into their most beautiful authentic self. So we can all live in peace, abundance and happiness. I want to take you all on the journey of self healing and manifestation with me as I continue to learn and grow myself.

For now I will leave you with this last question; What’s one thing you can do today that will make you smile and be genuinely happy?

The one thing I’m going to do today is to put on some music and dance like no one is watching 💜

You don’t have to share, but if you feel bold, comment what you’ll be doing in the comment section below!
