Conquered Hearts / June 17, 2015 by Rebecca Tillett

Happy 2nd Birthday to dear Adalynn, my good friend Kristin's little girl, the sweetest note in the melody of her parents' lives!

You Were Born to Love / May 18, 2015 by Rebecca Tillett

Love without apology, without reservation, without fear, without safety and security and that hard shell you swore no one would ever crack. Love without boundary, without apprehension and cynicism and timidity over exposing the soft part of your flesh. Love like it's the last time you'll ever love because this life is much too short to waste such a precious commodity. You were born to love. Anything else is wasted potential.

But I'm Here Now / December 13, 2013 by Rebecca Tillett

For the past year or two I've questioned much in my life; my work, my art, my motivation, but ultimately and unnervingly my biggest question has been about my marriage. Fourteen years ago I met my husband online, fell in love with him and before I was even a senior in high school, we moved out of our parents' places and into our first apartment. We confronted life's challenges and assumed very adult roles while we were still very much children.

My good friend Britt and I have combined for the perfect side biz! She offers hair and makeup and I, of course, my photography. What you see above is an example of our work. We're completely thrilled and I imagine this will only lead to bigger and better things! So please keep us in mind should you find yourself in the Colorado Springs area and need amazing portraits done.

Distraction / January 25, 2012 by Rebecca Tillett

So I think because I spent all of those months just looking forward to free-time and empty moments, I'm now hungry to create despite the dumps I'm down in. I'm also angry and short-tempered much of the time. Never in a million years would I think I could experience these feelings simultaneously but I am. And I'm still not quite sure what to make of it. I've shot and edited more images in the last few weeks than I have in the entire last half of 2011. It's definitely a good feeling. Hopefully I'll have enough of them to cancel out the bad ones soon.

Cassandra / October 19, 2011 by Rebecca Tillett

This is my cousin, Cassie. Last month she moved here to Colorado Springs from Philadelphia. Today she moved back. We had a quick shoot last night, sure to get one in before her sudden departure. Oh, and she recently chopped off many of her curly brown locks. She's the exact opposite of me in almost every way. She's a risk-taker. She's also an amazing artist.

Every Good with Equal Force / September 25, 2011 by Rebecca Tillett

"You know what I am going to say. I love you. What other men may mean when they use that expression, I cannot tell; what I mean is, that I am under the influence of some tremendous attraction which I have resisted in vain, and which overmasters me. You could draw me to fire, you could draw me to water, you could draw me to the gallows, you could draw me to any death, you could draw me to anything I have most avoided, you could draw me to any exposure and disgrace. This and the confusion of my thoughts, so that I am fit for nothing, is what I mean by your being the ruin of me. But if you would return a favourable answer to my offer of myself in marriage, you could draw me to any good--every good--with equal force." —Charles Dickens

Mr. and Mrs. / September 18, 2011 by Rebecca Tillett

Yesterday, I had the privilege of shooting my good friends, Biff and Brice's, beautiful wedding at the Fine Arts Center here in Colorado Springs. The day began for me with shooting photos of all the girls getting ready at their aunt's salon and this is one of my favorite images from that time. It couldn't have been more perfect; mimosas, finger foods and an entire salon closed to regular customers for the day so the girls had all the space and supplies needed to become even more beautiful than they already are. I always have such a fun and memorable time hanging out with this family. They never fail to make me feel like I'm part of it and I'm forever grateful to them for that.

Nostalgically Attractive / April 9, 2011 by Rebecca Tillett

This is my favorite shot from the last shoot with Jessie before she left. It took us forever to find a location but the white walls of this building proved to be a nice contrast to the black dress.
