Well, you have Sade this week. We shot the image below in very harsh cold weather last winter and Sade definitely rocked the shoot regardless. Used 2 lights for the first image, one on camera and one from the left side. Thanks to Cheryl Amaka(Sade’s friend) for assisting that day, I know it was very cold holding that light but I must say it was worth it.

Due to the snow we could not party today but we will in a couple of weeks. He was kind enough to give me a few poses.  And our prayer for you is that you continue to see more beautiful days for the rest of your life.

Love from mum and dad!

I am launching it with Nolan taken on a recent snow day. This was after we came back from Africa, it seems like he prefers the cold to the heat.

Most of us don’t think about shooting to celebrate our birthdays but I am glad Kemi was able to do this and you can tell we had fun on this one. Congratulations again Kemi, I know it’s weeks after :)

Makeup – Bisola Ibrahim
