Hi all! I am Solaris, aka Sollie.

Director of Miss Staunton.

As a pageant mom, photographer, and community volunteer, I’ve seen how much encouragement and opportunity can help young people grow. I’m excited to bring this tradition back to Staunton and create a welcoming experience where contestants can build confidence, make connections, and serve the community with plenty of fun along the way.

Hey Y’all! My name is Chelsea Ellington.

Co-Director of Miss Staunton.

I have lived in Staunton my whole life, and I am now raising my family here too. I even held the title “Little Miss Staunton” in 2003. After watching my daughter’s year as Little Miss in 2024, I realized just how much positivity can come from pageants. The growth, confidence, and connection it brought to my own child makes me all the more excited to see this pageant come back to life and bring so many young ladies (and boys) memories to last a lifetime.
