Love

This is the month of love.

How have you been celebrating it?

Only We Know Photography by MK started as a piece of me, my happiness. It reminds me of a piece of joy and solitude that exists despite what I was going through, which was depression at that time. It became what it is today because it was a necessary reminder for all. To remind everyone that though life is yin and yang, when we embrace who we are, our emotions, and the situation or moment we're in we can still enjoy life. In every moment there's a glimpse of happiness, a glimpse of harmony, and a glimpse of love worth acknowledging and worth experiencing.

As a photographer, images from me are exclusively for my clients. I don't market using my clients images because I encourage my clients to embrace and to celebrate themselves first before anyone or I celebrate with them. It's a practice of self compassion.

As an empath, when I share my clients images it's like I'm invading my clients privacy. When I look at my clients' images, I see what happened that day and experience how they felt that day all over again even though they're smiling in the images. Sometimes that day may not have been a good day for them. Emotions are sacred and real. It's not my to tell and to share.

I am still a human being. As an individual and a photographer sometimes I forget that I too needed to be embraced, and that my moment too needed to be acknowledged. After having shaved my head I was unsure how I can still embrace my femininity. I originally had wanted to do a 'Bald but Bold' photo session but got caught up and lost in my thoughts. Then 4 months flew by. This past weekend I surrendered my thoughts and dive into myself - to embrace who I am and my current phase in life. Instead of 'Bald but Bold' today I present to you, 'The Bold and The Beautiful '.

Love can be celebrated in many different ways. If you don't know how and where to start, start with yourself. A little self love goes a long way.
