Want to know a bit about the photographer behind the lens?
Well, to get startered... my name is Kylie Brand.
I am a wife to a wonderful loving man named Matthew who is my steady rock.
I'm a mother to four beautiful children; An 11 yr old son, a 5 yr old daughter, 4 yr old daughter, and another son currently 7 months of age. I have a busy life, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
I am lucky to have a loving and supportive husband and family who enable my obsession as much as humanely possible.
But it is my children that have been my inspiration, allowing me to combine the two things I am most passionate about, children and photography.
I look at the world like a photograph. I find beauty in things big and small, and I love to capture those moments that might not even seem photograph-worthy.
And, of course, I am an aspiring photographer. It has allowed me to have creative freedom present in my life on a day to day basis. For me, photography is the most exciting, wonderful & rewarding way that I have to express myself.
I am Australian, but my heritage is German & English.
I was born in Fairfield NSW, but grew up mainly on the Central Coast of NSW.
During part of my childhood, I had a the greatest experience of living at a gorgeous location on Bougainville Island, situated in the Solomon Islands of Papua New Guinea.
It enriched my life like no other place could. My parents and I also travelled to places like Germany, England, & Scotland, just to name a few.. I have not travelled overseas since, but it sure has left me with a great desire to travel again. These experiences I'm sure have helped shape how I see things now.
I got my first "nice" camera for Christmas in 2007. I wanted to take better pictures of my kids. From there my love of taking pictures blossomed. I took a few classes at a local college and self taught myself from the internet and a fun workshop. I love to capture emotion in a picture. I LOVE to create a picture that just makes you laugh out loud because you can feel the happiness in the picture. I love to capture real life emotions and real life people and their personalities.
I have always had a love for photography, but until the arrival of my 1st son I hadn't imagined creating more than a simple photograph. Well, now I use my camera to create special and unique images, personalised art that you can proudly hang on your wall, display on your desk, and gift to your family and friends.
