Cass and Dan / September 3, 2024 by Rebecca Tillett

I am so proud of this woman. And so enamored by the idea that someone whose own blood I share could be so bold and fearless in their approach to life.

Bigger Love in the Moon's Shadow / April 25, 2024 by Rebecca Tillett

Needless to say, when I learned in early 2023 that here in Oklahoma, we would be in the path of totality for 2024’s eclipse, we knew immediately we would be seeing it.

Maddie and Wyndham / November 1, 2023 by Rebecca Tillett

Last month I trekked to White Salmon, WA to shoot the wedding of Maddie and Wyndham, a beautiful couple in one of the most beautiful places on this little globe.

“Dear girl. YOU are the greatest art you will ever create. The masterpiece. The magnum opus. You’re it. However you want to be.”

Thoughts and Prayers / June 12, 2023 by Rebecca Tillett

Is a woman in various stages of undress indicative of my work by now? I sure hope so. I feel like I’ve captured this with enough of my models. We moved from my bedroom into what I lovingly refer to as the Wonder Room in my home for these photos. I thought about just including these in the same post as the bedroom set but well, they seem to feel quite different simply because of the setting.

Scene at Hastings Rd / April 24, 2023 by Rebecca Tillett

My last shoot with Amanda (my oldest friend and one of my very first models nearly 20 years ago now) was in 2016 in Santa Fe. The one before that was in 2012 and I remember waxing poetic after our last one about how the previous 4 years had just inexplicably flown by and now: here I am, posting my favorites from our last shoot that happened 7 years following our previous one.

New Year's Eve '22 / January 1, 2023 by Rebecca Tillett

I used to spend my New Year’s Eves looking backward. Already missing the year that was fast coming to a close, and moving quietly into my past. I spent much of my life with a complicated relationship to my past and an obliviousness to the future—or just never considering it at best. My dad’s death when I was a teenager rendered me nearly incapable of comprehending it.

Cool Girl Summer / September 23, 2022 by Rebecca Tillett

Last month, my 3 year old daughter and I collaborated on a fun little backyard photo shoot.

The Very First Dance Recital / June 13, 2022 by Rebecca Tillett

Mina just performed in her first ballet recital. We were so proud!

Carrie, Kyla, Pacifica, Tinsel, Zach / December 28, 2021 by Rebecca Tillett

Family portraits with 3 dogs?! WHY NOT. I don’t have a whole lot of experience shooting dogs OR kids but I’m guessing it’s the same thing really.

Daniel Dossey, Drummer / December 6, 2021 by Rebecca Tillett

Back in November my friend and cousin’s boyfriend, Dan, asked me to shoot some classy portraits that he could use for future books and training materials he planned to write/create. I love this guy, so I was happy to oblige.

Chasing Butterflies / June 3, 2021 by Rebecca Tillett

Before this girl was born, my husband and I would talk at length about how strange it would be to finally meet her, wondered what she’d look like, who she’d be. When she was a baby we’d marvel at how tiny she was, yet how big her personality, and we’d talk about how strange it would be to imagine her as a child, walking around, talking even. It all seemed so distant & strange and impossible to really comprehend.

Hermanas Hermosas / May 22, 2021 by Rebecca Tillett

How come the cousin relationship doesn’t get much attention? It’s pretty great and unique actually. You’re friends in that you don’t share parents but family in that you share grandparents. I mean, it’s basically best of both worlds, right?

OK Winter Wonderland / December 16, 2020 by Rebecca Tillett

Last weekend the Tulsa, OK area got an unusual amount of snow. My family and I just moved from Denver to a 7 acre property about 30 minutes south of Tulsa. This particular piece of land happens to have a small lake (or a big pond) on the property and the sudden and ample snowfall completely transformed this thing into a picturesque scene out of a storybook or painting.

Childhood / November 7, 2020 by Rebecca Tillett

“When you become a teenager, you step onto a bridge. You may already be on it. The opposite shore is adulthood. Childhood lies behind. The bridge is made of wood. As you cross, it burns behind you”

My Little Zombie / November 1, 2020 by Rebecca Tillett

Fall and Halloween are two of my favorite things. Also a favorite thing? Having a daughter who’s now old enough to dress up however I’d like but not old enough to have an opinion about it.

#terriblewritingclub #1 / May 27, 2020 by Rebecca Tillett

My ex-husband recently pointed out to me that my mom and I are not very close. Like, very matter-of-factly. My reflex was to immediately disagree, and I did. It sounded unfamiliar to me and oddly uncomfortable, that declaration he’d made.
