This is Blanche last year, photographed at the Arkansas State Capitol. Isn’t she beautiful? I really dig this girl–she’s superbly cool.
I also enjoyed the chance to photograph her this year, for her Senior photos [check out those great shoes!]:
You might be wondering, “Why, mr. bill, are you taking time to write a blog about beautiful Blanche?” Great question. As always, I’m glad to explain.
As of today, Blanche is the brand-spankin’-new Miss Teen Arkansas International!
So why am I writing about Blanche? Because I love this gal, and I’m super-proud. And I have a blog. And I can write about whatever I want.
Sheree and I love you, Blanche. You’re great! We’re proud of the young woman you are.

Horaayy..there are 4 comment(s) for me so far ;)
In all fairness, and professional courtesy: I am NOT the guy who photographed Blanche for her pageant headshots–although I’d be proud if I did! They look amazing! If you’re looking for pageant headshots with the amazing “zing!” those have, you’ll have to find the name from Blanche.
. . . and Kudos to that Photographer!
I am Blanche’s aunt (Clay’s sister)and when I saw this blog, I had to input how much Blanche means to our family. I remember her as a baby & need I say, she was the most beautiful child & very skilled early in life. I am so very proud of her accomplishment’s & am looking forward to follow her up the ladder of success…
Anne–
thanks for your input–it’s great to hear from someone who has known Blanchard [as I call her] her entire life. My bride and I have only known her a few years, but we’re both pretty smitten.
I don’t know Blanche… but I do love her shoes.. and if you and the “beauty” aka Sheree love her I am sure I would to, and she must be an awesome young lady.
