She has been working at a vet clinic the last two summers and she even worked at a horse rescue this past year as well. Plus, Kristi&#8217;s been horseback riding her entire life, more specifically focusing on dressage for the past 5 years or so.<\/p>\n<p>She LOVES animals, people and science \u00a0&#8211; and I&#8217;m pretty sure that shows up well in her portraits we made together. Not only did we laugh and have a great time traipsing about Polson, we even got to make some photos with some very sweet horses too &#8211; both Doc and Dylan.<\/p>\n<p>Kristi &#8211; it was so nice meeting you and your family and your most excellent personal assistant Sydne ;), and I can tell you&#8217;re going to be doing some great things with your life. You absolutely lit up when we were hanging out with the horses &#8211; so follow that dream! You&#8217;ll excel doing something you love. I can say that from personal experience. :)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kristinepaulsenphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/2013-08-22-Missoula-Senior-Pictures_0001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3619\" alt=\"Kristi's Polson, Montana Senior Pictures -
