Expanding your vibration amidst fears is what bold-babes do. We're so happy we got to chat with photographer Patricia Peña about what drives her, her labor of love @seeking_spritual, and who has inspired her Bliss.
What is your Bliss in 5 words or less.
Photography. Connection. Travel. SoulCycle. Yoga.
What is your passion?
My passion is my photography. It ignites my creativity. It reminds me time and time again that I see things like no one else does and that IS pretty magical. I am currently working on a project titled "Seeking Spiritual" which aims to build community and inspire and empower people through image and text. We are all connected through human experience.
Each one of our stories is powerful.
Name your style-
-
in Photography - Portrait! Everything is a portrait. Whether it is dark and moody or bright and inspirational. Every shot should tell a story.
-
in Fashion - I wear what makes me feel good. Confidence is key! I love muscle tanks and lululemon wunder unders. I also have a lot of little black dresses and rompers.
-
in Lifestyle - I know what I want to create. I do what makes me happy. Never get in the way of your own goals.
- in Movement - I love Yoga and SoulCycle. Think Flowy, Strong, Challenging yet Free.
