Miss Teen United States 2009 | Courtney Hope Turner
To those of you that know me, this is exactly what you would expect when I shoot a crown shot. Yes, I love the traditional formal gown shots, but to me there’s something about a Miss Teen winner that screams jeans and a casual top. Anyway, here [...]
Lynsey Boothe
