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.”
