When your photographer notices the hair tie you forgot to take off your wrist…

And suddenly you’re questioning every decision that led you to this moment.

Just a little behind-the-scenes reminder that hair ties are the original sin! 😅😂

A quick note from the LaShay Photography team, on behalf of our owner, Dinesha LaShay:

First - thank you. The amount of support, kind messages, and encouragement this week has been overwhelming in the best way.

We stand behind our communication, our policies, and the experience we provide our clients. The matter has been addressed, and we are moving forward.

Our leader (and photographer behind the camera) is taking a very necessary 24-hour reset lap 😂 - because even professionals need a minute sometimes. Booking will resume in 24 hours. Until then, we’re back to what we do best: creating beautiful images and serving our amazing clients.

Thank you for being here. We appreciate you more than you know.

Fall family photos are BACK!

I had the best time photographing families in the Lawrence community this weekend. So many laughs, little moments, and memories made - here’s are some of my favorites!

Next stop: Columbia, Missouri! • October 10 • If you’ve been waiting to update those family photos for the season, this is your sign. 🤎

Archive #2: Madison Hope McAnulty 💛

If you remember this dress, you remember her smile, her laugh, and this beautiful girl.

Madison | 2019

Back in the OG days of Miss America - when we had swimsuit, when the gowns were everything, and we waited allllll year long for that one special night to root for our Sunflower. 🌻

Looking back at these photos brings back an entire era. The excitement, the friendships, the dresses, the stage, and those girls who made it so much fun to cheer from the sidelines.

Madison, you were one of those girls I was lucky enough to photograph and cheer for, and this smile? Still unmistakably you. 💛

ARCHIVE 1 : Mailyn Marsh ( & Amanda Carraway)

Throwing it all the way back to 2018 - my first year of art with Mai.

It’s hard to believe how much life has happened since these photos, but one thing has never changed: that VIBRANT light she’s always carried. Even at such a young age, Mai had a presence that you couldn’t miss. She was always THAT girl - and somehow, she’s only grown more radiant, more grounded, and more herself with every chapter.

From watching her grow in front of my camera to watching her become Miss Teen USA, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing so many versions of her over the years. And while the titles, crowns, and milestones are incredible, what I’ll always remember is the young lady behind them.

16 years of Lashay Photography means 16 years of memories, and this one is a piece of history I’ll always hold close.

Here’s to the year 2018, and to my girl Mai. 🤍
