Exactly one year ago I had the great opportunity to visit the great state of Montana and the Miss Montana USA 2013 pageant.
Tonight new titleholders will be crowned to represent Montana at the Miss USA 2014 and Miss Teen USA 2014 pageants.
Here's an exclusive behind-the-scenes video of last year's Miss Montana USA 2013 pageant and a glimpse of what the contestants may experiencing again this year!

In 2 weeks, the state of Texas will witness over 100 young ladies from across the Lone Star state compete for the coveted title of Miss Texas USA 2014.
Each year I have the amazing opportunity to attend the Miss Texas USA pageant, however last year was the first to capture what happens behind-the-scenes at one of the country's more closely followed state pageant.
Below is a short video giving you a glimpse of last year's Miss Texas USA pageant.
Thanks to Zac Grimaldo/PixelBroom for video production.

This past weekend I had the incredible opportunity to attend the Miss Nevada USA 2013 pageant in Las Vegas...and join the contestants, titleholders, sponsors, and staff as they prepared for the last Miss USA state preliminary pageant for 2013.
Again, I was treated to an "all-access backstage pass" to cover the pageant and show everyone what many don't get to see at a pageant.
It was at this very same pageant last year when it all began...and since then I've been able to keep everyone plugged in with what's going on behind-the-scenes with live photos and updates over Twitter at other pageants across the country!
But in case you missed it...
...I've included a gallery below with the photos and captions of events happening LIVE during the entire weekend including the rehearsals, contestants' night out, preliminaries, finals and of course crowning the the new Miss Nevada USA 2013 - Chelsea Caswell and Miss Nevada Teen USA 2013 - Amanda Jenkins.
Thanks again to Shanna Moakler for yet another amazing pageant weekend in Las Vegas, and to the wonderful contestants, titleholders, staff, and friends that made this visit an exciting and memorable experience!

Rachel Wyatt in her own words:
"Being able to put the crown on these little girls' heads is really special because they just look at it and see a crown and they think, 'Wow, you're a princess!' but the meaning behind it and the four points mean so much more than that. For me to be able to tell them about that and let them try it on and take pictures, its really neat, fun, and special for them...and and it means a lot too!"
Last month, Miss America's Outstanding Teen 2013 - Rachel Wyatt visited Dallas and I was invited to document a typical day in her life as MAOTeen.
We began as she arrived at the airport in Dallas and dinner afterwards. Early the next morning, Rachel attended a private session with Mental Management Systems. During her short time in Dallas, Rachel was able to make a few appearances to speak to children and give back to the community. She spoke to the children of Heart House Dallas, spent time with them and handed out books to the group. Following the Heart House, Rachel helped with the Toys for Tots toy drive. Concluding her long day was a relaxing dinner with friends from Baseball Diamonds and a few laughs 🙂
Come take a glimpse into "A Day in the Life of MAOTeen 2013" video below...
