Dallas or Bust!

WHAT: Pageant Photo Shoot

WHO: 2009 Miss Austin and Miss Austin Teen Winners, Raeven Valadez and Rachel Prochnow

WHERE: Zac Grimaldo Photography Studio, Dallas, TX

WHEN: July 23rd

WHY: Fun promo pictures for Miss Austin appearances and new pageant headshots for upcoming State pageants

SILLY FACT: We always order from Mama’s Restaurant, which is a few blocks from the studio.  It has amazing Southern Food!  One of my favorite things I love about this trip!

So I traveled last week to Dallas, TX for a fun photo shoot at Zac Grimaldo Studios.  Being the official makeup artist sponsor for the Miss Austin Texas pageant, I get the privilege to work on the most beautiful ladies of Central Texas every year! 

Zac Grimaldo, the photographer for the shoot, is so amazing at what he does that it is worth the drive to and back from Dallas.  Fortunately, Betty Warner, the Miss Austin Texas director, is so generous to let us all drive together in her car so it makes the road trip more fun to all be together!  So here are a few pics of the Dallas trip below…
