Trash the Dress

by shaylajay | June 16, 2011 | Fashion | 7 Comments

Most women want to preserve their wedding dress to pass down to their daughter or just as a keepsake. However, I believe my daughter will probably want to wear her own wedding dress, so I decided to "trash" my dress. I don't know if you...

Shades of Gray

Mandeville, Louisiana is a beautiful little city with cute shops, lake views and good food. I visited with some friends while in Mandeville and we had a great time. While I was there, I went to Lake Pontchartrain to take some pictures before heading...

Sucker for Seersucker

by shaylajay | August 30, 2011 | Fashion | 9 Comments

Seersucker fabric is light and cool. I have always loved these suits, which are traditionally light blue with a white stripe. However, I chose a yellow and white stripe, which is a bit different from what I am used to seeing. Summer is coming to an...

Red Beans and Rice

It has been a long journey. For the past two days, I have been trying to cook red beans and rice. When I was in college at Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the cafeteria cooks prepared read beans and rice every Monday. Seriously, they...

Love Those Lashes

I recently attended a fun makeup party at a friend's house. We had a blast, and the thing I loved most was that the makeup artist (Tonya Strozier) allowed us to put on our own makeup. She didn't just apply the makeup for us, but allowed us to create our...

It's pleasant outside right now, but the high today is supposed to reach 80 degrees! The winters here are always predictable --- by noon, a high of 70-75 is expected and sunshine for weeks at a time is normal. I thought we were done with the...

Meet Tonya Strozier --- wife, loving mother, entrepreneur and stylist. There’s no doubt this woman has her hands full, but she still finds time to follow her passion and pave her way to the top. Tonya and I met in 2009 during my first trip to Arizona and...

Goodbye Fear

I love the mountains. This weekend, we went to Mt. Lemmon. The weather was wonderful with a nice cool breeze. The mountains are so beautiful and majestic, but they also can invoke fear in the bravest of men. I have often had a dream that I am...

It was great to get away from the desert and get back to Louisiana. I love New Orleans --- the food, the music, and the fun! I had a blast in the Big Easy and got a taste of everything I have been missing in the desert --- gumbo, shrimp, oysters, crab, and...

I can't get enough of this awesome weather! The sun always shines and humidity is basically nonexistent. So, I really enjoyed the outdoors during this photo shoot. I love colorful jeans (red, pink, green, etc.). I was on the search for a bright red...
