We're the niche
At 3Live Productions, we believe versatility is our superpower. In a world that encourages creatives to pick a single niche, we’ve chosen to master several. We specialize across five core industries: Weddings & Events, Fashion & Beauty, Branding & Commercial, Sports, and Portraits.
We don’t do everything—but the things we do, we do at the highest level. Our approach is powered by a growing network of talented freelancers, each focused and passionate within their specialty. This community model allows us to deliver top-tier quality, consistency, and care, no matter the project or industry.
They say, “Jack of all trades, master of none…”
The full quote? “Jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than master of one.”
At 3Live, we are the niche. Not because we fit into one box—but because we’ve built the expertise to lead in many, delivering visuals that connect, inspire, and leave a lasting impact.

Vashti
I’m Vashti Keturah Smith—call me VT. Raised in a suburb of Chicago with my siblings, I’ve always been driven by creativity. My background spans film and digital photography, videography, acting, singing, dancing, and even published poetry.
When I’m not behind the camera, I love traveling, being outdoors, and exploring the world—balanced with quiet moments spent reading, watching films, or creating art. Always curious, I’m constantly inspired by evolving trends in photography, interior design, and fashion.
Ray
Ray here. Born and raised in Miami, the 305 runs deep. Before fully diving into videography and photography, I played Division II college basketball at Webber University, where I also earned a degree in Computer Science.
Video production has always been a passion—from making family and travel videos growing up to a brief (low-key) moment of Vine fame. When I’m not behind the camera, I stay connected to basketball as a coach and private trainer, and spend my time working out, traveling, and enjoying good music, great company, and laid-back vibes.
