Kate Paul: Behind the Pageantry

So, I was completely honored to shoot with Kate Paul, our very own Miss Oregon, USA. She was every bit the beautiful, sweet girl you'd expect, but definitely with a spark of spontaneity and fun!
When I asked her to throw on some undies and a tie up her shirt to wade into the somewhat freezing river, she just smiled and walked right in. Fearless.

She fell into the USA pageant due to a curious disposition and made it all the way to the title through sheer will (and her fabulous Charisma doesn't hurt).
