I took my first set of photos as Miss DC US International with local photographer Arantes Stephen.  Here are the photos from that shoot:

Appearances 2/9 - 3/14

I've had my title for just over a month and I've already had so many opportunities to make some great appearances.  Since I've won my title I've welcomed home the troops with Operation Welcome Home Maryland, packed food for those in need with the Hunger Project, attended the Tigerlily Foundation's Pajama Glam Party, and walked in Daffodil's & Diamonds annual fashion show benefiting breast and ovarian cancer research.  Here are photos from these events:

Miss Maryland USA Pics!!

Even though the Miss Maryland USA pageant was months ago, the pictures have finally posted online!  I'm so excited to share the photos from each phase of competition that I can't even wait to order the official ones!

This photo was taken right after my private interview with the judges.

This was during the top 16 swimsuit competition.

This was during the top 16 evening gown competition.

Looking forward to seeing what my next year in pageantry has in store!
