“This is how it works. You’re young until you’re not. You love until you don’t. You try until you can’t. You laugh until you cry. You cry until you laugh. And everyone must breathe, until their dying breath” – Regina Spektor

Meet Sammi, a current senior at ThunderRidge High School in Colorado. I met Sammi a few years back when I photographed her older sister, Nicole’s senior session. When it came time to find people for my Class of 2017 Senior Model Team, Sammi was on the top of my list! She has such a great spirit about her – she’s super sweet and always smiling. She has a big heart which you can definitely see when she’s around her friends, family and, of course, her horses. After high school she plans on pursuing a degree as a veterinary with hopes of becoming an equine vet or even a horse rescue owner. I had so much fun getting to know Sammi this past year and photographing her. My favorites are her senior photos on a horse farm. You could see her light up as soon as we set foot on the property.
