This is Lena — Miss Teen New Mexico USA. I met Lena when she was just 16 years old. We started working together on her portfolio, and from the very beginning, I could see something special in her. She had this quiet confidence and determination that went far beyond her years. At the time, I was photographing for Miss Earth and Miss Teen, and I loved helping young women prepare for the stage. Lena may only be 5’2”, but what she has in heart, presence, and spirit is larger than life. She proved that you don’t have to fit a certain mold to shine. Watching her grow, step into her confidence, and do so well in the pageant world made me incredibly proud. Moments like these are why I love what I do—being part of these journeys and helping young women see their own beauty and strength. So proud of you, Lena. ✨

Where Pageant Dreams Begin Every crown has a story behind it. Every winner started with a first pose, a first photo, and a moment where someone believed in them. For seven years, I was the photographer for Miss New Mexico USA, and I’ve watched contestants grow from nervous first-timers into confident young women who walked away with titles. I’ve seen what works, what wins, and what makes a contestant unforgettable in front of judges and the camera. Pageants aren’t just about beauty. They’re about confidence, presence, posture, expression, and the way you carry yourself when the spotlight hits. Inside this pageant section, I’ll be sharing real guidance, real posing techniques, and real experience from behind the camera—so you can present your strongest, most confident image on stage and in photos. If you’ve ever dreamed of competing… If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to stand out… If you’re ready to feel more confident in your image… You’re in the right place. Your pageant journey starts here
