This photoshoot was originally planned for April 10th in preparation for my birthday celebration on April 15th. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned due to my very tight schedule. However, I’m excited to share the results. The goal was to accomplish two things at once: capture my birthday pictures and showcase my creation through proper photography.
During the planning stage of this dress, I wanted to create something simple, feminine, and comfortable that would highlight the structure of the model (me!). I’m thrilled with the final result and can’t help but be amazed. 🥹
I am Marie, and I am passionate about styling women🤎

Some faces don’t just pass through your lens… they stay.
You moved from learning the craft to becoming part of the story
you’ve been both subject and presence.
IPS / 2026 / Q1 wouldn’t exist like this without you, thank you for being part of that story.
Happy birthday, Queen @chiomaokolie_ .
Keep becoming. ✨

Not everything belongs to the moment it was created for.
Some frames wait… then speak louder.
Happy birthday, Nene — beyond the date.

It’s a new dawn.
Light has a way of returning softly — even after the longest nights.
Sometimes, it doesn’t flood the frame.
Sometimes, it simply rests… on a face, on a quiet moment, like the moon did that night.
No noise. No rush. Just presence.
And in that stillness, you remember why you picked the camera in the first place.
May this new year meet you stronger, bolder, and surrounded by the same love you freely give to others.
Happy birthday, @real_talkwith_grace

Something has been hiding…
in plain sight.
We move through these spaces every day —
passing through, waiting, gathering, leaving.
But sometimes, the most ordinary places hold the quietest stories.
IN PLAIN SIGHT
A long-form photographic study of presence, stillness, and the unnoticed theatre of everyday spaces.
This is the beginning.

One of my early outdoor shoots in 2024, while I was still learning to work with natural light and the gear I had at the time.
Looking back now reminds me how much growth happens with time, practice, and patience.
It was a birthday shoot, and the outfit was a handmade crochet piece by the model herself @mary_ezehh , created to showcase her craft.
I am always grateful to the people who trusted my lens in the early days.
Happy 60th birthday, Dr. Mrs Oge Nkemjika! Thank you for opening your heart and your home to me. You’ve always treated me like your own son, and I can’t tell you how much that means to me. I hope your day is as beautiful and generous as you are✨️
