Is this what they mean by “southern hospitality”?

On a quick trip to Austin with (this was coincidentally almost this exact time a couple years ago,) we stayed at the Austin Proper Hotel while getting video and photo content for a real estate law firm in the area. It was shocking how much Austin had changed, even still after seeing the dramatic changes between 2015-2020. It just keeps going… But this hotel definitely served as inspiration following this trip!

Hola 👋 so happy for and mostly selfishly thankful for the bigger space and it being on the side of the street that’s more convenient for us 😂 Seeing them expand their vision and being able to step inside the community they’ve created has been such a gift. Being with a lot of New Yorkers this week who have come in for Art Week events, we’ve been bragging on Dallas nonstop and honestly it’s been met with nothing but compliments, mostly in regards to the people. The idea of *Dallas* can come with stereotypes of rude Texans, obnoxiously large everything, and unwarranted pride, but honestly, people here are nice AND kind. To be polite but also genuine and always working to help your neighbor… everyone has its good parts and bad parts, but we are so thankful to call Dallas home

Little moments with 🤍 The thing about shooting these beautiful vignettes, is that everything calls to me — it’s hard to put the camera down, or cull out slight variations of photos. There is something about the light this way, or that way, or the view with this peaking through, or how it would look from someone standing over there. The details, the big picture, the side story…

There becomes a pressure to take or post *the picture.* And for years I was in my head shooting for Instagram. A certain contrived symmetry; a certain attention-grabbing pose; a certain look into the future with the eyes of your audience to find out what will grab their attention.

But to shoot to capture the feeling, and sharing because it was something that was special to *me* … that’s all we can hope any of us are ever doing.

There are so many photos that don’t get shared, because once they been edited and sent off, I’m focused on new sets of photos to be taking and editing and sending off. And then I worry about taking the “insta” out Instagram by posting photos that aren’t even from this month… ehem not this year either or the year before that. There are so many trips, shoots, experiences, memories that I was so excited to share here. And then it feels like the moment has passed for people to care at all. When really, they’re photos I’m excited to share because I loved the stories the photos told, outside of a specific moment in time.

January didn’t seem especially long until I looked back at photos from this month. Grabbing breakfast tacos at in between shoots, friend date at with , saving , and satisfying every craving with . Shoots with and . The snow, the fog. And the haircut that I get every 7 weeks but for some reason this month everyone seemed to notice and say my hair looked different.

Currently: sitting at my desk like a gremlin editing photos for .dallas, , , and .burklecreative before heading out for some events this afternoon. (Trying to keep some “insta” in the ‘gram 😉)

Oldies and goodies. There are so many photos and moments that have gone unshared because they didn’t fit a highly curated aesthetic. And that’s fine.. but it also feels so good to share photos that *mean* something. Past trips, and local spots. Many of our favorite places have closed in the last few years, so it’s funny to look back on these photos before we knew we could never make those moments again.

When you set out to buy a point and shoot camera to dedicate to black and white shooting the day of the event, and then the only way it turns on and off is with a ball pint pen, and the viewfinder is broken. 📸 party pics from after party.

Like how Christmas felt when you were a kid. Real colors, real snow, real fire in the fire place. Egg nog, games, cooking, dinner. We’re well into the new year, but there’s something about how I’m wanting to approach photos moving forward, looking back at these memories makes perfect sense.

*indoor activities* for

11/01/2024

There’s part of me that wants to just post pictures of secluded teapots and stools in empty studios, and remain peaceful and calm, projecting a quiet confidence and steadiness. But then there’s the other half — street style, events, kitchens, concerts… there’s that other rhythm that’s captured. I hesitated for a long time sharing many event photos, because I was in the process of over-curating. It’s not fun. What *is* fun is sharing and writing.

For too long, I keep telling myself to go back to 2018 — that’s what I consider my peak. But why? To “find my voice”? I felt like if i tapped back into the BECKLEY voice, I’d be more sure of what I had to say. But I don’t think it ever was a “voice.” I think it a writer, a narrator, a composer. It was letting my thoughts flow straight into words in a journal in my mind. Writing is something I’ve “meant to do” for so long, and I truly feel it calm my racing thoughts, encourage composure, and allow space to THINK your own thoughts clearly.

Here are some photos from a stellar night celebrating the opening of . Special thank you to for coordinating the occasion. 🖤

With time away from work to have the space to reflect, it felt good to come home excited for the new year. When you’re not constantly playing catch-up, so much more seems possible, and I wonder why I ever felt uninspired for under-motivated. I felt that deep-rooted energy, that force that drives you towards your passion. I could see the “BECKLEY” vision again. I decided it’s time to get back to action rather than timidly “planning” for years on end.

But then I got home. 10pm after a long day of travel I was playing with my daughter in her room and thought, “yea ok but what if I just want to be a stay at home mom? This pace feels right.”

So I reflected on my vision of BECKLEY — one I’ve seen so clearly since 2014. There’s an energy to it, it’s peaceful but kind of fast-paced at the same time. And then there’s motherhood. No need to rush anything, seeing the world through my daughter’s eyes.

What if the dream of who I’d become, of how I envisioned my “perfect, grown-up, successful self” is already here? What if the person I envisioned myself becoming is already here. Complete in motherhood, and work, and family, and friends. What if this complex mix and balance is even more perfect than what my younger self could have ever imagined for me?

Photos for — this was a shoot and mood that felt exactly right. is one of my biggest inspirations and when all the pieces came together, from my perspective this felt quietly like a little nod to what his work inspires in me

Just over here liking this little life. 🌲

On the plane ride home, I mentioned to Andrew that I think we’ve both been blessed with appreciating life more often than not. Most likely thanks to our upbringing, we both assume nothing is owed to us and are sincerely grateful for whatever life brings us. Some situations are more challenging than others, but we both were blessed with the ability to take it in stride and still pretty much only see the positives in life. Late nights at work, busy season, things not going according to plans, bonks, hiccups, adjustments… home things, life things…

What’s amazing is that I feel like I’ve witnessed the same in the people we choose to surround ourselves with. I’m a word (or two): positivity and gratefulness. Maybe that adds up to humility, but I’ll always be afraid of labeling myself “humble” lest I stand proudly on that assumption.

Merry Christmas to you all, (as we await the feast of the Epiphany, when Jesus’s birth was made known.) A time to remember that God is with us. Wonderful Counselor. Prince of Peace. 🤍

We’re back, baby 🤍

How many times in this last year have I repeated, “This feels like the good old days of 2017.” The community, the bumping into people when you’re out and about, the growth, the regrowth… 2023 may not have been the best year for many of us, but what I witnessed was a breath of fresh air. Finally returning to a point of normalcy that wasn’t just “normalcy.” It felt like the spark came back for many of us. Moving pieces, collaborative projects, challenges and milestones.

The return of Mirador was a highlight of that feeling of being “back.” Walking in and seeing familiar faces — the team back together again. It felt good. It felt like a victory. I used to be working up at Mirador often photographing new menu items, tasting dinners, cocktails…

This opening party was excellence, in true Headington fashion. Every detail, every bow, every bite, every smiling face. Very excited to see what this new year brings.

We were shooting today in new home and I had just been looking back at these photos from Christmas seasons past. You know what’s better than classic Christmas memories? Absolutely. Nothing. Red and green and under the tree 🎄

Here’s to taking more lifestyle photos. It’s way more fun and the memories are way better.

28/11/2023

Last year at this time I was on maternity leave. Just as the weather was getting *perfect* (or some days simply tolerable), I dipped out. It was truly so wonderful to go into the holidays with absolutely zero work on my plate (other than preparing bring our child into the world.) We got our Christmas lights hung for the first time as homeowners, my parents were in town, we watched all the Christmas movies, we played games… it was perfect.

I’m thankful, though, this year, that I’m reminded how much I love shooting in the fall and winter. I’ve been experiencing a rough patch since… well I experience it more than I don’t… and it’s this time of year things become clear as to what my vision. (Clear… clear ish…maybe somewhat clear…)

21/11/2023

Just me 100% sure I’m forgetting most of the things I’m supposed to be doing/packing/cleaning/buying/retuning/finding 👍🏻 Clutching my Mamma Miya app and holding on to dear life that I can cross everything off of my to-do list before Thanksgiving 😅

The truth is, I (Becca), created BECKLEY so that it wouldn’t be amount me. It would be the brand’s voice. It would be about others. It would be sharing information to fellow creatives, photographers, Dallasites, people navigating similar phases of life. And yet, my world is now her. My Anja. What inspires me, what I do, what I think about. It’s all her. And her being my treasure makes me so reluctant to share what we do together. Childhood is so precious. I wish I could share every single moment because I love capturing life with her, but I feel so strongly that “people” in general don’t “deserve” her. She’s her own person, and she’s my baby, and she’s not for just anyone to get to see or feel like they know her. And yet, she’s all I want to share and talk about. I’d love to get my BECKLEY voice back. A voice that isn’t focused on me, but on you. On our community. Insta-blogging these thoughts has helped. It’s about you, and it’s about us, but it’s not about me. I can’t do it. Though I’d love to, that’s not what this space was created for. It’s about us. Ok let’s do this.

Back to what used to be such a big part of BECKLEY. Street style was one of the reasons I wanted to get into photography in the first place, and the dynamic in the way bloggers shoot has changed so much, but this photo shoot for @fashion_jackson re-inspired me so much to truly *create* in the way we share, not just “produce.”

good morning ☕️

Life’s good. Just zoned out and watched this about thirty times before posting it because I forgot I was mid-posting. And THAT’S on finding small moments of bliss.
