He Put A Ring On It: Olamide & Olajide

On this day she became Mrs. Tijani.....

It was a blessing to watch my sister get married. Love truly does exist... I've watched both Lajide and Lamide sail on the "love-boat" and it was all very emotional to watch him take her out of the house. I got all teary to watch my sister become the heart of another, but with all joy she bears his name.

Olajide I must say is a down-to-earth young man...can't wish for any man better to be with Olamide. He puts smiles on her face and gives her the "love beat" glow. They both complement each other.

May the Almighty Allah bless your union and keep you happy together forever...AMIN!!!!


Latrikka is wishing you the very best marriage has to bring...HAPPY MARRIED LIFE...!!!

Loving Yourself

Happy new month all....!!! 

These are random pictures I took of my self...a blogger & photographer has a moment...I call it #SELFIE

After reading an article online by Sabrina Alexis "On Loving Yourself and Becoming More Confident". I got the inspiration for this post.

Often times have I found myself asking to love and be loved in return, But one thing I failed to realise was I was doing it the wrong way. Don't get me wrong, I only failed to love myself.

Everyone wants a reason to be happy, everyone seeks happiness. Most of us go about this search in different ways that is believed to suite oneself, some believe it is finding solitude in the opposite sex, partying, drowning with workload and so on..(different styles for different people), but what we all fail to realise is that HAPPINESS comes from within. It builds from the inner most parts of us, you alone are the source of your happiness.

"It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere" - Agnes Repplier

I can't speak much for the married ones out there, but I can say this for sure to the single ladies and young lads; the desire of wanting to be loved by the opposite sex, to have him/her tell you how much of a pretty damsel or handsome guy you are(the urge to have someonelse make you feel good about yourself), just swings you up for a desperate relationship...which is a No no!! often times, such relationships crumble...(okay I am not a relationship adviser). 

We should learn to appreciate ourselves first, acknowledge ourselves and stay&say positive things about ourselves. Prophesying good things to yourself actually does a lot of good. I recommend watching a documentary called The Secret, it talks about the forces of the universe and how our thoughts can influence these.

People fail to know their attributes and their worths, learn to list your attributes and constantly say it to yourself. Some people might call this "vain", but if it takes being vain to be happy, please do. Do not wait for someone else to tell you your attributes, learn to appreciate them before being told. God made us all in beautiful ways.

"Before you can be happy with someone else, you truly need to find happiness within yourself "

It's all about "SHOES"

A Lady is all about her shoes. There's nothing that gets her more excited than walking 6" high. Walking high up the ground, heads high, shoulders up. No matter how tall or how short, our shoes define our every step. Hips swaying and arms swinging. No man can walk 6" high, if men think they can, then they should try wearing HEELS.

I don't know why this happens to black suede shoes, but oh well... Black shoes are a must have in any wardrobe. If you don't have a pair of black shoes, go get yourself one!!

It's not necessarily all about the heels, we do trainers as well. Getting ready for the gym, you don't expect us in heels. We still know how to work these. Giving us that comfort while running on the treadmill or out running or jogging, your ladies still know how to work it.

A coloured pair polishes an all black look...!!!

Just about that time we get in touch with our masculine side, we beautifully wear ourselves some high-tops. Comfortable platforms, extends significantly over our ankles and easy to wear. But you never confuse a lady for a man in these, because we still get to sway our hips in them... *grin*.

In every feminine wardrobe, you definitely find pairs of ballet flats. It's not about being high up the ground, but about having your stand. In these, we can still "talk that talk" and "have that walk".

I thought to entertain my viewers with a little something...!!

Diana Mwiti is '25'

Introducing Diana Mwiti. An African sophisticated lady woman with a great sense of personality. Ms. Mwiti, a gorgeous Kenyan lady added an extra year to her age, but still looks radiantly young "How do you expect me to remember your birthday, when you never look any older"

This Blissful moment was shared with her ever loving friends at the world's buffet restaurant. A moment filled with love and laughter, a FUN moment.

I met Ms. Mwiti in 2013, barely five months ago. Knowing her has been so much of a great deal. We immediately connected on our first meeting and we've been friends since then. "Friends they say are priceless".

Being photographers doesn't stop you from having a bit of fun at events. Teaming up with Saidu Mubarak a.k.a Skindu.

Ms. Mwiti went from just a girl to being an Elegant lady. Her presence and smile lights up her environment. She's the definition of a true model. "A cheerful and God fearing woman".

 Who is the fairest of them all?....I tell you, your mirror refuses to lie.

Happy birthday once again Ms. Mwiti. Loads of Love from LATRIKKA

There's nothing more I love than being the photographer at events. I am LATRIKKA C.E.O LATRIKKA SAVVY COMPANY, the brain behind LATRIKKA PHOTOGRAPHY.

An "Acted" Pre-wedding shoot with Joel & Diana

My Inspiration for today's post is LOVE. Love has several definitions and everyone has  a meaning or two attached to it. It's a deep feeling of affection and solicitude for another person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of oneness. This is a definition most dictionaries give.

In my own world and mere understanding, Love is a "crazy" feeling, it makes you do the impossible. It's all about sacrifices and accepting the flaws of the other. It's knowing and accepting the past of another, no one is perfect. Love is UNCONDITIONAL.

 I got this beautiful damsel, hidden in the shadows of this picture, to portray that affection and make it speak, for me a picture says more than a thousand words.

 Joel and Diana are two friends from different parts of the world. Joel is Nigerian and Diana is Kenyan. Though they are not a couple, but they show how much affection can be shared between two individuals from different backgrounds and sex.

I got Joel and Diana to act a "Pre-wedding" shoot for me, and both of them pulled the act so well. It was all natural. Love doesn't have to be given to your Man or Woman alone. You can love all, friends, family, the society.

It was fun shooting them both. Fun day!!
