I'm Shay, the person behind the lens

I'm based in Hondo, Texas, but also available for work worldwide.  Have passport, will travel, right?!

Hey there, I’m Shay! If you’re looking for me, there’s a good chance I’ve got an iced coffee in one hand and a Target bag in the other. I’m all about happy hours, brunch dates, and finding little excuses to celebrate life. Most weekends you can find me at a lamb show with my family or cheering on my daughter at a gymnastics meet — I love being their biggest fan.

Travel is my love language, and I’m always planning the next adventure (bonus points if it includes a little Disney magic… I might be a closet Disney adult). My side hustle is also travel planning, so when I say I love planning it, I really love planning it! Around here, I love sharing the things that make me happiest and hope to inspire others to find joy in the little moments too.

My Approach

My work is an expression of what I am most passionate about: storytelling, simplicity and human interaction. I see beauty in everything and in everyone. Do you feel the same way?

Minimalist

Storytelling

Meet my lovely family

They are my backbone, my constant source of happiness.

We are a reflection of the people who surround us. I'm proud and honored to have these amazing people as part of my life.
