KP, The Queen

Today I discovered that I am a Queen. I’m serious; Queen with a capital “Q.” I woke up without an alarm, got my nails done, had lunch with a friend, went adventuring with my King and ended the day on my couch with a glass of delicious white wine.

Queens run their own schedule, enjoy the company of those they they love and respect, start each day with confidence looking fly as hell and enjoy libations happily. At least thats what a Queen does in my kooky brain.

Today I felt empowered. Today I felt confident. Today I “slayed.” Today I was a Queen.

I did not expect these feelings from today. I did not expect to step out of my comfort zone and have my picture taken.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT LIKE BEING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA.

This seemed to be a development that I noticed about myself around the time I decided to become a photographer. I love being behind the camera. I love making my visions a reality. I love capturing my favorite things about my favorite people. I love capturing memories, but there are few memories that have been captured with me in the picture.

FACT: I know that there are plenty of other photographers and videographers that don’t enjoy being on the other side of the camera.

It is my vision to do something about this fact. I would like to challenge myself, and other creatives like me, to step on the other side of the lens. I think that we all have something to learn about ourselves and one another.Why don’t I wake up every day remembering that I am a Queen? I think it’s because I let my perception of myself waver. Today my King photographed me and when I looked at the pictures do you know what I saw? A Queen.

Stay grateful,

Queen KP
