VIDEO: Miss Teen USA 2014 contestants

During the Miss USA 2014 pageant, I had the amazing opportunity to spend 4 days capturing on film all of the Miss Teen USA 2014 contestants during their visit to Baton Rouge.

From spending time at the Childrens' Hospital to enjoying Louisiana's finest food at a crawfish boil -- and all of the amazing events in between -- the Miss Teen USA 2014 contestants truly had an incredible weekend together building new friendships before competing at the Miss Teen USA 2014 pageant this August.

Many thanks to the Miss Universe Organization for allowing us to document these great moments on video, Lauren and Blair for organizing a hospitable and fun-filled weekend, Zac Grimaldo for this talented video production, and to all of the Miss Teen USA 2014 contestants for making an already awesome Miss USA 2014 weekend an unforgettable one!

Here's a short film of the Miss Teen USA 2014 contestants at Miss USA 2014.
