Read what Toke’s says about her shoot on her blog;

2 weeks ago I posed for a fashion label called House of Marie in an amazing photo-shoot that was styled by the very professional Lucylurrv. Lucy has been my stylist for quite a while now and I must admit I really love working with her. We get up to no good but in the end we are both stunned at how much work comes to live beneath all the jokes, eating and all that champagne. OMD

In my profession, you cannot have enough pictures in your portfolio. We got together Lucy and I, and she chose to show the different sides of Toke Makinwa with the different outfits.

The pictures were taken by Celebrity Photographer Moussa Moussa who is such a joy to work with. Overall, It was an experience not to be forgotten soon. His expertise is second to none and his jokes are out of this world. I felt very comfortable and I also got to learn that close up pictures work better for me.
