This week I had two photo shoots. The first was done by Sonya Gavankar, who, in addition to being Miss DC 1997, is a fabulous photographer. We did it on Pennsylvania Ave, and I had a blast! Of course, the weather could have been better—105 degrees (!) in the shade, and there was no shade. (No exaggeration on either count.) Our camera time was cut short by stormy weather, but I think we got some cool-looking shots. The second photo shoot was with Monica True in the more temperature friendly rooms of a beautiful DC home. These were primarily head shots with a couple of crown shots; I’ll update my website with samples soon.
On Thursday night, I attended a Wounded Warriors BBQ at Walter Reed Hospital with Bill Chatfield, a former Marine and director of the Selective Service under President Bush's administration. Meeting the men and women who give of themselves so selflessly to defend our country was an unforgettable experience filled with inspiring and humbling stories. Afterwards, Bill and I went to a USO reception where I again talked with some of the incredible people who commit their time and energy to supporting our troops and their families.
In addition to the photo shoots and appearances, I kept up with my physical training and mock interview prep; i.e., not a lot of free time. I’m looking forward to the Maine Invitational next week when I’ll be traveling to Philadelphia and Atlantic City (home!) and have the opportunity to meet some of the other women in the Miss America class of 2010. Can't wait!
