We had the good fortune of connecting with SeQuoya Robinson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi SeQuoya, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
As a small business it is very hard to continue pushing yourself when you do not see your business going in the direction you hoped. For me knowing that photography is something I truly enjoy and seeing the end results always gives me the push to continue going. I also have faith that God will continue to grow my business even though I may not see it today I know that my purpose is greater than my fears.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My photography is all about creating lasting memories for my clients. Giving them something that they can look back on years later and admire. I think what sets me apart from others is truly my personality. When people shoot with me, they feel at ease because I make them feel comfortable regardless of the setting. The entire experience from the beginning is something that my clients rave about. The road to where I am was not easy and I am still working to get where I want to be professionally. The constant support from loyal client’s and people who continue to book with me makes it worth it.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I do not hang out much but here are a few places that I would take a friend if they were to come in town. PuttShack, Rooftop at LOA, The Real Milk & Honey, Sea Salt ATL, The Battery, and Ponce City Market.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to dedicate this to my husband Maurice for his continuous support of my passion.
