I created the illustration above for South Carolina based photographer, Chasity of Younique Beauty Photography! I am a huge fan of her work! Be sure to check out her website, youniquebeauty.com. Her talent reminds me of some of the amazing photographers that I have had the privilege of working with over the years that I thought I would share some old favorites. Although I have never worked with Chasity, I hope one day our paths will cross and I'll get the chance to shoot with her.
Kyle is one of my favorite photographers for many reasons. One, he was the first photographer I shot with right after winning Miss Nebraska USA! Two, he is one of the nicest guys I have ever met! Three, he is incredibly talented! Being a fashion design student, I figured my friends would know some great photographers in the area. My friend Kristie introduced me to Kyle and she was my stylist for the shoot. We could not have asked for a more perfect day. My photos from Kyle will be something I'll treasure forever, and I will never forget the fun I had shooting with him. For more information on Kyle's work check out: kyleweber.com
Fawnia Opp is the queen of glamour! She is the definition of triple threat. Not only is she a hair master, but she also does makeup and takes unbelievable photos! I had the opportunity to shoot with Fawnia twice. The first time we had fun with crazy eyelashes and crazy curls. The second shoot I was able to get photos taken in my beloved Miss USA gown.

Now that I've hung up my pageant heels, Derek Christie is probably the last professional photographer that I will work with. The photos he will take will most certainly be my most treasured photos...my wedding photos! Paul and I had the opportunity to shoot with Derek in our favorite city, Edinburgh, Scotland. We loved getting to know Derek before our big day and I absolutely loved how he captured the beauty of Edinburgh! View more of Derek's amazing work at derekchristiephotography.com
Maybe my professional photo days are winding down, but someday I look forward to having little baby O'Days to photograph! Until next time...
Lots of Love,
