Tell us about yourself
My name is Samantha S. but most of my friends call me Sam! I have lived in Bozeman, MT my entire life. I am 17 years old and currently in my senior year of high school, on my way to graduate in June of this year. I've always loved fashion and creating unique outfits and ever since I was little people would always tell me I could pull off anything I wear, which sparked my interest in modeling.
Tell us about your modeling experience.
My modeling experience pretty much consists of my imagination, and posing in the mirror all day long. I have no prior modeling experience but it is a dream of mine to do this and I cannot contain my joy that I now have an opportunity to gain more experience and work towards a future in this industry.
What is your biggest dream?
I would say my biggest dream in life is ultimately to fulfill God's purpose for me on this Earth, whatever that entails. However, going shopping and seeing my face on a poster representing a brand one day is definitely also a huge dream of mine!
What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?
In my opinion I think that to be your own kind of beautiful means to accept every part of yourself on the inside and the outside, it means to realize that you are a perfectly designed art piece created by the same creator that paints the sunset every night. Beauty isn't defined in a specific way, there's no standards because every single human being is different. I also believe that beauty is shown through how you treat others.
How would you describe your fashion style?
My personal fashion style is very diverse I would say, I don't really have one certain look because when I was little I would always stress about the fact that I couldn't choose one way to express myself through fashion so I decided that nobody said I can't have multiple aesthetics that are constantly changing and adapting. Some of my favorite outfits include lots of layering, 90's denim jeans, parachute pants, vintage sweaters, I mean the list could go on and on.
Who or what inspires you?
I could list a whole bunch of supermodels that inspire me but I think what truly inspires me is that you can accomplish anything if you believe in yourself. There's gonna be rejection, and failure along the road but you have control over not giving up on what you want to accomplish.
What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?
I don't have much advice to offer given that I have no modeling experience yet, but one thing I will say is just put yourself out there, take the first step, because you're never gonna get to Z without going through A,B, and C.
Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.
A Lot of obstacles I've overcome in my life had to do with self hatred, many years of school I spent the weekends by myself because I wasn't confident in who I was as a person but spending the majority of my days with myself has shaped me into who I am today, because without that time apart from the crowd I think that I would be consistently trying to be someone i'm not. Another big obstacle in my life was being in an abusive/manipulative relationship, overcoming that and getting myself out of that position has made me realize my worth is much more than a man's definition of me.
What makes you beautiful/handsome?
I would say that I show my beauty both on the inside and the outside, I try to spread kindness to people everyday and I try to find the light in dark situations. I want people around me to feel comfortable being themselves and I try to create a safe space for everyone to do so. I think on the outside I have unique features that align perfectly to make me, me.
What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?
To anyone struggling with confidence I would say that you just have to start accepting yourself and loving yourself because you're one of a kind and you're not gonna change so you might as well embrace it! Also I suggest trying to replace every negative thought about yourself, with something positive and fulfilling.
