We'll start things off with what has been occupying a large chunk of our time lately...the upcoming Miss American Fork 2008 Scholarship Pageant. We have been heavily involved with the pageant this year and have had so much fun getting to know these girls. They all have amazing goals and are all so self-aware and confident!
Meet Liesl. She is the reigning 2007 Miss American Fork, who will be handing her crown down to this year's winner. We had the opportunity to spend a week in Salt Lake watching Liesl compete for Miss Utah. She did a fantastic job...but more about that later!
This year, the pageant director extraordinaire Staci wanted a fun, fresh approach to the pageant. The Miss America program is trying to get away from the stereotypical pageant, where everyone is plastic and fake and wants "world peace". They want real girls, with real goals, real problems and real confidence.
Meet the contestants!
Contestant #1 - Breanna Proctor
Contestant #2 - Adrienne Shelley

If you're in the area, you should definitely think about coming to the pageant! It will be held August 16th, 7:00 p.m. at the American Fork High School. Come watch the girls compete, as well as Sam and I in photo-action!
We will also be choosing one of these lovely ladies to be named 'Miss Photogenic' at the pageant. Any guesses? Who is your favorite?

Aubrey... um yum! These are crazy great portraits of such beautiful and confident women! I want to know details -- paper, walls, etc. Will you email me? Rachel@mergeweddings.com
# 5, 7, & 9
I say three five seven and nine. but mostly nine.
Beautiful, beautiful pictures. Several of these girls were in my junior high choir classes and I can't believe they're old enough to be running for Miss AF!
no no no, #s 6 and 8 are definitely the best, especially in real life. look at those eyes!!
I think your decision to pick Kaitlin or #7 as your "Miss Photogenic" was spot on!! She looks FANTASTIC and in your stretch photo of all the contestants, she really sticks out and is able to show her personality where some of the others lack.
