The truth is, I (Becca), created BECKLEY so that it wouldnāt be amount me. It would be the brandās 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. Itās 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 āpeopleā in general donāt ādeserveā her. Sheās her own person, and sheās my baby, and sheās not for just anyone to get to see or feel like they know her. And yet, sheās all I want to share and talk about.
Iād love to get my BECKLEY voice back. A voice that isnāt focused on me, but on you. On our community. Insta-blogging these thoughts has helped. Itās about you, and itās about us, but itās not about me. I canāt do it. Though Iād love to, thatās not what this space was created for. Itās about us. Ok letās 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 āproduce.ā
