To all the ladies of the 2010 Mrs/Ms. Earth International Pageant, here is a parting gift to help you remember your time in Las Vegas. Until next time…
“One Step at a Time” by Jordan Sparks was the main song during the competition. The ladies rehearsed and danced to it for hours so I thought it was appropriate for the video.

My body didn’t want to sleep because of all the excitement (and muscle soreness) and it refused to sleep past 6am PST because it would have been 9am back home. But am I complaining? Not at all. I’m thrilled to have made the trip to Las Vegas to photograph the 2010 Mrs/Ms Earth International Pageant.

We needed Plan B ASAP!!
We had the pleasure of photographing Maria Beall — Mrs. Virginia Earth 2010 — recently around her house and neighborhood. Congratulations to Maria on the recent as Mrs. Virginia Earth 2010 and good luck at National! More images after the jump.
