“3Live Productions did our engagement pictures & 4 months later everybody is still raving about how amazing they are! Highly recommended! Super personable, patient, attentive, & brought nothing but comfort and good vibes”

I'm Vashti Keturah Smith, but you can call me VT. My sister and three brothers and I were born and raised in a suburb of Chicago.
I have always been driven by my creative desire to pursue the arts. In addition to film/digital photography & videography, I was always involved in acting, singing, and dancing. I’m even a published poet!
When I am not behind the camera, I enjoy traveling the world, being outdoors, and exploring all that this beautiful planet has to offer. On the flip side, I enjoy a good book, watching movies, and drawing or coloring.
I am always curious! When I'm not checking out the latest trends in photography & videography, I'm drawn to interior design and fashion.

Ray here. Being from Miami, the 305 runs in my blood. VT and I are both middle children, but I have more fun! Before I became serious about videography & photography, I played Division-II college basketball at Webber University. There, I earned a degree in Computer Science.
Video production has always been a passion of mine. While growing up, I would make funny family and travel videos. Don’t tell anyone, but I was low-key Vine famous! Lol
When the camera is not in my hands, I remain close to the game of basketball as a coach and private trainer. I stay active by working out, traveling, and of course, playing basketball. I love to hang with my family and friends, and I am always down to chill, listen to music, and just vibe.

Our story starts 4 years ago when a right swipe and a missed cruise ship resulted in a Photography/Cinematography business known as 3Live Productions.
Our 10 years of experience have fueled our passion for this line of business. We have been mentored by well-known photographers in Miami and New York. We are also former students of a well-known virtual Videography school.
What makes us unique? At our core, we are artists. We see things that most people don’t. We’re like modern-day Superheroes!
Through the lens of a camera lies a different world... a world where artistry flourishes and stories speak without words. This, my friend, is why we love what we do!
We invite you to see what others have to say about our work below!

“Well, I've worked with a lot of professional photographers and videographers, but I must say their attention to detail and their team attitude was first class. I would highly recommend them if you want high-quality work and a fun time doing it. The best thing is that they listen to what you want then give you more than you expect! - Richard Smith”

“I love them! They made me feel so comfortable for my maternity shoot. I was honestly very shy and didn't know what poses to do, luckily they had multiple examples of poses and made me feel very welcomed and confident! So in love with my photos, they will always hold a special place in my heart!”
