Heyy, im kiara

I am a passionate photographer  based in Melkbosstrand, Cape Town. I believe that photography is more than just capturing moments — it’s about preserving memories that become part of your story.

When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll usually find me cosied up with a good book — either something cute and romantic that warms my heart, or a twisty thriller that keeps me up way too late (shoutout to The Silent Patient, which totally lives rent-free in my head). I also spend a lot of time volunteering at the local animal shelter or aquarium — animals have always held a huge part of my heart.

That love naturally found its way into my photography. One of my favorite things is taking portraits of adoptable pets to help them show off their real personalities and find their forever homes. (So if you’re ever thinking of bringing your fur baby along to a session, the answer is always yes!)

I started Unleashed Photography because I realized just how quickly time flies — and how easy it is to let seasons of life slip by undocumented. And since there’s always someone behind the camera, part of your story is often missing. I wanted to change that — to help people be in their memories, not just the ones taking them.

My approach is natural, relaxed, and full of heart. As someone who doesn’t always love being in front of the camera myself, I truly understand how it feels to be self-conscious or nervous. That’s why I’m there every step of the way — guiding you through natural poses, helping you feel comfortable, and using fun prompts to bring out real smiles and authentic moments. Whether your kids are striking model poses or running wild, we’ll have fun with it — and I promise, the results will be magic either way.

Let’s create something beautiful — a little piece of your story that you’ll treasure forever.
