I haven't posted since June! Here's a tiny tip of the iceberg of what I've been up to ❤️ Thanks, as always, to everyone who supports, collaborates, books, poses, replies to my mails, and checks in ❤️ I'm eternally grateful to the amazing people I get to work with ❤️

Slide into my DMs if you need some pics ❤️ I'm especially craving a creative project in October :) taken in Cape Town, South Africa by @esteexshoots

There's nothing I love more than when the girls get together, and we're not even in the kitchen, but still, we're COOKING! 🍳🔥❤️‍🔥

Had the honour and privilege of shooting with Kim who booked a shoot to celebrate her birthday! I love celebrating milestones with a shoot! At school, we used to get our portraits done yearly, and I think adults need to do this too!

If you're keen to do a shoot like this in 2026 you know who to DM 👀

Here's to documenting the journey 📸✨
Thanks Kim for being the best, @palesakgasane for excelling at hype-girling and @studio_c_photo for giving us the space to play 💖 taken in Studio C by @esteexshoots

Wishing that the love will set us free
Wishing that the love will set us free
I think that love is forgiving yourself
I think that love is offering your immediate help
I think that love is everything that we need in this world
I think the key is being honest and being yourself
I think love is understanding that people can change
And loving them anyway through every stage
I read All About Love then I gave it to Jade
Love is sharing knowledge, there’s so much to gain
Love is every time I put pen to the page
If I don’t love what I’m doing, then I’m hardly engaged, yeah
God, you love me though, I am flawed
I know I’m not an innocent child, but I am yours
And if you’re with me, you is safe
I know my body isn’t immortal but I am brave
I think you know it’s real love when it’s sincere
I’ma show ‘em I ain’t scared eradicate fear, yeah
Wishing that the love will set us free
Said that we would never ever
Crash, fold under pressure
Love getter, use it to do better
Wishing that the love will set us free
Love is something that you can’t measure
No judgment, no pressure
It’s your letter, your words for whomever
I think that fear is not trusting yourself
I think that fear is keeping true information withheld
I think fear can be exposed in abundance of wealth
And then creeps in when you’re not loving yourself
Fear can be dressed in the form of protection
Fear can be the culprit of slowing progression
Can be impulsive and be an obsession
I think we fear all the answers, so we don’t ask the questions, yeah
I think that shit is a lethal weapon
I think we fear being naked from the fear of rejection
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Then why are we obsessed with seeking perfection? taken in Studio C by @esteexshoots
