We asked Ashlyn a few questions about the upcoming Miss Louisiana Teen USA pageant that she will be competing in.

How are you feeling about the pageant now all the contestants have been announced and it’s getting closer? Finally! I’ve been waiting in anticipation along with everyone else to see who all of my sister queens are this year! I’m ready to spend time with my old friends and look forward to meeting all of the queens. I know we’ll have the best weekend!

How has your prep been building up to Miss Louisiana USA? Am I crazy to say I love pageant prep? Prep has been going fantastic. I’m not afraid to put in the work and take corrections when needed. As an added bonus, interview prep has certainly come in handy during my college interviews!  

What are you most excited about? There are so many things to be excited about at pageant that I don’t know where to start! I’d have to say though, I look forward to letting the judges meet the girl behind the headshot. I love meeting people and sharing who I am and what I’m about.

Are there any sponsors/partners you want to give a shoutout to? Oh yes! I’ve been fortunate to have such great support! I’d love to thank Mia Bella Prom for photoshoot wardrobe, jewelry and gown support. Also, my fabulous hairstylist Angie Blanchard at Halo and a special thanks to Damion Haines of The Headshots Guy for stunning photos.
