Getting Ready For Jr. Miss United States-World!

Wow, I had such an amazing time at my photo shoot with Christy Williams of Impromptu Photography! I absolutely LOVED being in front of the camera. Some of my favorite pictures are below. Which one do you like best?

I would like to take a moment to thank some of my sponsors. Family friends Amanda Thompson and Gary Southern, along with my mom & dad and my Grandma. Amanda Thompson was gracious enough to donate some of her frequent flyer miles with Frontier to provide my airline ticket to nationals and Gary Southern provided my parade signs for my year as Jr. Miss Colorado-World. My Grandma, Debbie White, sponsored my beautiful evening gown and of course, I couldn’t do any of this without the wonderful support that I get from my Mom, Dad and little brother Robbie.
While I’m hard at work preparing for the Jr. Miss United States competition, I’ve also been busy lining up some fundraiser opportunities before I leave for nationals on June 26th. Stay tuned for your chance to come out and show your support too!

I have had SO much fun with my new title as Jr. Miss Colorado-World and I can’t wait for more great experiences to come my way!

My Crowning Moment

Wow, I had such a great time at the Miss Teen Colorado -World pageant!  First let me say, bravo!   It was the most amazing production ever and I can’t wait to work with our amazing director “Mama Sacha” this year!   You wouldn’t believe how ecstatic I am to be your 2011 Jr. Miss Colorado –World.  Being crowned was more than exciting, it was exhilarating and I can’t wait for nationals next month!  I already have my packing list and wish we could leave tomorrow.

                This year I am hoping to participate in many appearances to help my community.  I am so excited to be in the Evergreen Rodeo Parade this summer (my former hometown) and am overjoyed to be part of the “Save Outdoor Lab” fundraisers in Jeffco.   Please let me know if you hear of other volunteer and appearance opportunities around the state and in your own communities throughout the year. 

                To my new sister queen, Victoria Korthuis, congratulations on winning Miss Teen Colorado-World, you did amazing and I can’t wait to get to know you this year!

                A BIG thank you to my mom, dad and little brother.  Thank you for helping me with everything, I love you guys!  Mom, thank you for helping me every step along the way.  Dad and Robbie, thank you for all of your support and for always being there at my competitions.  To all of my friends, thank you for practicing interview with me and always watching my routines.  You guys are the best!  Lastly, I want to thank some of my pageant family and friends…Michelle, Alina & Laura.  Thank you so much for always being my cheerleaders!!!

YOUR Jr. Miss Colorado-World 2011,
