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!
