Sophie has always loved horses and grew up sharing this passion with her mother. She began riding at the age of 4 and began training and competing seriously in 2010. She now competes on the AA Hunter/Jumper circuit with her horse both Nationally and Internationally. While in school Sophie trains and competes with the WWU equestrian team on the IHSA circuit.
Sophie Samson Photography
Sophie's father always has had a lifelong passion with photography. As she began to compete more frequently she began borrowing her fathers camera during shows so she could photograph her friends. Over the years her interest in equestrian photography and photography in general grew. In 2014 she secured a position as a contract photographer for Totem Photographics which covers nearly all showjumping competitions in British Columbia, including competitions held at the prestigious Thunderbird Showpark in Langley, B.C. Sophie has continued to work for Totem through the 2015 and 2016 show seasons.
In 2015 Sophie started her own photography business and became the official show photographer for Cascade Horse Shows for their 2015 and 2016 competitions. Her work can be found at sophiepics.com
