3 Kie’s Photography

Coming from a family of artists and photographers it was only natural for me to follow this route.  I studied photography in 1997 at Washington School of Photography in Washington DC, USA, I then came back to South Africa and continued studying at Bloemfontein Technikon.  After this I decided to go work on a cruise ship in Los Angeles as a photographer, which of course was an amazing experience!

To me it’s about being passionate about people and capturing the moments of your life into art and painting the details that makes your day unique with light.

I always like to get to know my customers a little before the day of the shoot, since each bride has a unique personality, taste and style not one shoot is ever the same.  I believe that you have to feel comfortable with me and also be comfortable with the pose you are in for it to look and reflect perfect on the photographs.

Knowing that the bride & groom spends a lot of time making choices that has to be perfect for your special day like your dress, jewellery, shoes,  venue, flowers, etc., it is of utmost importance for me to capture all of this since it is the only visual memories you will have to show for years to come.

When working with kids I try to get on their level even if it means crawling on my stomach to get a great close up shot!  Being a mother myself I received a big prescription of patience which is very important with kids, since they tend to feel tension very easily.  Some of the best pictures I’ve taken of children are the ones where they aren’t aware of the camera and this is when I’m able to capture their true characteristics and expressions.  I’d rather capture a ‘real’ frown than a ‘false’ smile…

Please have a look at my different portfolios and please send me an email or give me a call should you require seeing more or needing any further information. 

Also please have a look at ‘My Network’.  This is where I would like to introduce you to some of the other people you might need to make your day a success like a wedding consultant, wedding cakes, Videographer, make up artists, venues, etc.
