Well, I’ve done a pretty decent job of neglecting my blog as of late--I wanted to finish my summer off the right way with a busy schedule and lots of excitement. Before leaving for Florida, I had a fun photoshoot with a fabulous photographer from Portland, Danielle Hanson. Danielle has been pursuing photography for a decade and shoots a wide range of subject matter including landscapes, architecture, weddings and portraits. You can visit Danielle’s website at http://www.daniellehansonphotography.com/. Here is one of the photos from my shoot!

On Friday, the 12th, I hopped on an airplane with my mother and sister, bound for the Miss America’s Outstanding Teen Pageant in Orlando. Pageant week began with a 7 AM photoshoot with Jenn Cady, a photographer from Nashville who does INCREDIBLE work (http://www.jenncady.com/). All of the contestants modeled Tony Bowls dresses and shoes and I worked has the official fan blower, note taker and dress thrower. It was fun to be on the other side of the camera! Luckily, I also got my time in front of the camera later on in the week--On Friday, I modeled a Jovani gown from Regalia Magnificent Apparel and several Christine Blake Designs in a photoshoot with Jenn at the MAOT tradeshow. I had such a great time working and shooting with her!

The rest of my week in Orlando was exciting AND super hot. I had the chance to visit Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure with my family (Harry Potter World and the new Rip Ride Rockit coaster were amazing!) and relax by the pool. I also spent several days working with the girls in the Teens in Training and Princess Camp girls who enjoyed a busy and profitable week of their own. It was a fantastic vacation, and I’m happy to report that Ali had a wonderful experience and did a fantastic job in all phases of competition! My congratulations to the new Miss America’s Outstanding Teen, Elizabeth Fechtel—such a sweet girl!

Since returning from Orlando my life has been all about moving into my new home and preparing for fall semester (Classes begin tomorrow, eek!). I’m almost all settled in, and I’m looking forward to a fun and successful year with my roommates :) I’m also looking forward to the chance to cook food in my very own kitchen this year and steer clear of the dining halls haha. Lucky duck that I am, I moved back up north on just the right day, too. Tiffany Fortier, a PHENOMENAL photographer from Bangor just happened to be looking for a model to do a test session with on Wednesday, and I just happened to be departing from Saco that morning. Tiffany had the chance to test out her new lens and I had the chance to work with an amazing photographer and get some fabulous pictures. I'll post a few below, but please also check out her Flickr page at http://www.Flickr.com/photos/TLFphotography. She has incredible portfolio and is such a great photographer to work with :)
