About the Artist.
A Few Fun Facts:
Hi, there! My name is Sierra. I’m 27, born and raised in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and photography is my favorite thing in the entire world.
I’ve been obsessed with capturing moments in time for as long as I can remember. As a little kid, I asked my parents for different types of cameras as a gift nearly every holiday and special occasion. I can distinctly remember proudly taking low-quality photos as a 4th grader while on class trips, as well as using a kid-friendly camcorder to record the everyday moments in my life during my preteen years. In high school, I learned the foundations of photography by shooting 35mm film in my Graphic’s lab, got my first DSLR at 18, and won 3rd place in a state-wide photo competition my senior year.
I’ve spent the last 8 years of my life experimenting with different styles and mediums in photography and have fallen even more in love with the craft. From 2017 - 2021, I was lucky enough to call Philadelphia my home and collaborated with so many incredible artists and models who made me realize my specialty is portraiture.
Today, my personal style has evolved into a mixture of artistic portraits and landscapes shot between 35mm film, Polaroids, and digital. It truly is more than just a passion of mine; it’s an entire piece of me.
I own 20 different types of houseplants.
I’m a very proud mom to two animals: my dog’s name is Rudy and my cat’s name is Teddy.
Reading is probably my 2nd favorite hobby. I get really, intensely passionate about the books I’m reading and tend to rant about them to anyone who will listen.
Mac Miller is my favorite musical artist.
I absolutely love Harry Potter and have a tattoo of Harry’s glasses and scar. I’ve also read the entire series at least 10 times through.
I’m currently in college, majoring in Human Services, and hope to get my Master’s Degree.
My favorite photographer is Ryan McGinley.
I’m a very nostalgic person and I think that’s why I love the art of photography so much.
