Miss USA pageant photos

By placing first runner-up at Miss USA 2020, Kim had the honour of equalling Idaho’s highest placement at Miss USA, set by Brandi Sherwood in 1997. Unfortunately COVID-19 forced a socially distanced final two, which meant that she and Asya didn’t get the traditional moment while they waited for the announcement of the winner.

State pageant photos

The on-stage moments, the tension of the final two and the glory of the crowning, here are Kim’s state pageant photos and video.

Crowning Video

Watch Kim’s life change as she is crowned Miss Idaho USA 2020.  Her first runner-up was Jordana Dahmen, who went on to win in 2022.

Professional photos

Lights, camera, action!  Professional photoshoots are one of the perks that comes from winning a title.

Candid & Appearance photos

From events straight after her crowning to her final appearances before she passes on her crown, here’s a look at all the appearances Kim made during her reign, as well as other candid photos during her year.

Previous pageant photos

Two years competing in Idaho & two titles… here’s a look back at Kim’s previous pageant photos at Miss Idaho Teen USA 2012 and her national photos from Miss Teen USA 2012.

Farewell photos

See Kim’s farewell walk and other candids from the weekend she crowned her successor Katarina Schweitzer as Miss Idaho USA 2021 – unusually, due to COVID-19, this was in two months before she competed at Miss USA.  Kim missed returning to crown her Teen successor as she was attending Cornell at the time, so I’m sure this was a special moment for her.

After the crown

Winning a state title is a sisterhood for life. Here are Kim’s “after the crown” photos.
