My Lavish experience started on Friday when I attended Behind The Scenes With Lifestyle Photo Stylist/Producer, Annette Joseph sponsored by Room and Board. The session started with a guided tour of the Room and Board showroom with Annette and Julie Dewald (Store Manager), followed by a mock photo shoot, and a casual chat with Annette and other guests.

Here are a few snaps from the session and valuable styling tips for your next shoot. Starting with the scene before the styling process began…

 …and here is the after photo. I was too busy sending this photo update via twitter that I forgot to take a photo with my real camera. I think you get the idea.

 What are your favorite styling tips? Please share in the comments below.

HI,
I'M ERIKA.

Beyond the Blueprint is a curated journal where legacy, lifestyle, and intentional design converge.

Here, I share stories from the heart of my home and the homes I create—faith-filled reflections, family rhythms, wellness practices, and design inspiration rooted in grace and purpose.

From motherhood and marriage to the sidelines of Friday night lights, each entry offers a glimpse into the layered life I live—and the brands, spaces, and values that support it.

Whether you're here to be inspired, encouraged, or aligned, welcome. This is life beyond the blueprint
