In the northeast United States in the State of Maine, lives a very special talented, caring young lady.

13 year old Miranda Rayne lives with her mother, dad, grandmother and 2 cats Mischief and Panda. She is good at math, science and expresses herself creatively through drawing, dancing, acting, cheerleading, FX makeup and designing clothes.

 

At the age of 6 Miranda competed in her first pageant, a friend was signed up and she thought it maybe fun so when we asked if she wanted to participate, she jumped at that the chance. Stepping into something new Mom and Miranda did their research on what to expect, the pageant requirements and optional competitions which included 'most beautiful' that required a photo submission. So we found a local photographer that specialized in 'Kiddie Couture', Melissa J. Albert Photography and made an appointment. With the images from the shoot and Miranda's sparkling personality she earned 5 Crowns and Trophy's as well as other awards at the pageant which included Overall Photogenic, Overall Best Smile, Charming Princess, V.I.P.  0-6 Years, Novice Supreme and Community Service Star. From what we understand now, winning this many awards you're first pageant is pretty unheard of. The experience opened up a new world of pageants and modeling for Miranda.

 

One month later Miranda competed in her second pageant winning her age division and the title of Miss Maine Sweetheart Princess, 2015. As a new pageant titleholder Miranda began volunteering in her community and throughout the State the Maine. As Miss Maine Sweetheart Princess, 2015 Miranda gained some modeling experience working with local photographers and opening the runway show for David's Bridal.

Throughout 2016 Miranda continued modeling locally and even traveled to St. Louis, MI for the first time, While there she had the opportunity to work with a number of photographers gaining experience behind the camera.  Many of those images were used for advertising and promotional purposes for the photographers, some were published in magazines or printed and sold as wall art., In August an image of Miranda was submitted by Melissa J Albert Photography to Adorama Presents Top Photographer with Nigel Barker's and won the photographer a spot in the semi-finals.  While Miranda's modeling career was growing her passion for pageants, cheerleading and volunteering also kept Miranda busy.
