                 About Me

My name is Sequoia, I am a 17 year old up and coming photographer with an interest in shooting informal portraits and forms of art. My love for photography started with my love for pictures, ever since I could remember my mom had these tubs full of pictures and through those pictures I got to know my family better, even ones who had past. My interest in informal portraits is because I love how the spirit of someone is captured, similar to the pictures I looked at growing up, I also love capturing art for the same reason but its more                     like trapping the essence.              

Being born and raised in republican Texas and having such a conservative extended family it is a huge goal of mine to break down the expectations and boundaries of who a certain type of person has to be, through my photos. I don't have to change the world but I do want to get a conversation going, no matter how uncomfortable a topic is. They say "change starts with you" so I'm starting the change one picture at a time.
