After competing in the Mrs. Colorado pageant three times, I
am very familiar with the Mrs. Colorado program book. In fact, every year when
I received it during pageant week, it felt like Christmas. Not only was I
excited to see my photographs in the book which is more like a high quality
magazine, but, I was excited to see what all my other queen sisters had done
for their ad pages. The photographs
share so much more than beauty; they share creativity, style, and personality.
Since I was crowned Mrs. Colorado 2012 back in February of
last year, one of the events I have been looking forward to all year is
photographing the cover of the Mrs. Colorado program book. That day finally
arrived last week and it was so incredible.
I have been lucky
enough to have had many photo shoots over the years, but, none of them felt
this special. This event was so different than the rest because of the
wonderful people that attended. Emily Stark, my director and friend served as
the creative executive and personal cheerleader. “Always saying things like, “this
is going to be fabulous, you look incredible.”
DJ, from Timothy D’s Hair Salon,
whom I call, “My Hair Master,” because he is so magnificent at creating
fabulous hair, but, more importantly is just such a dear and kind friend of
mine. Muchion Huges from The Make Up
Store always makes my face look flawless.
My husband refers to Muchion’s makeup as movie star makeup (I love
that!). A big thank you to Raeanne with the Royal Image Boutique for letting me borrow a "to die for" dress!!! And finally, the incredible Megan Anderson at Graphique Fine Art
Photography. Megan is the kind of person
that makes you feel like the most beautiful person in the world when she is
photographing you. She literally makes
you feel like a million bucks in front of that camera and is such a sweet
person to be around.
I would like to give a huge “thank you” to all of the people
who supported me at the photo-shoot. I
appreciate you all so very much and will always remember that day not because
of how I looked but because of how you made me feel.
