Tell us about your shoot with Jacques du Preez. How did it come about and what where you wanting to capture?
My shoot with Jacques du Preez was very short notice, I messaged him on the Monday morning saying I want to shoot! He replied “let’s shoot tonight!” We’re both spontaneous like that. We had no specific concept just wanted it sexy.
What was it like working with Jacques and how did you feel in from of the camera?
I love being in front of the camera, and Jacques made shooting so much fun. It was such a relaxed environment. We shot at Bruce K Cantrell’s studio, another amazing photographer who also got some incredible pictures.
In your opinion, what makes a lady sexy?
I think the most important thing that a lady needs to have in order to be sexy is confidence in herself. Not that egotistical confidence, but the confidence that makes you say wow, that woman is comfortable with herself and who she is as a person inside and outside.
“Spontaneous. Everything I do is spontaneous. I’m an Aries…. Let’s elope?”
We have to say that the T-shirt with panties only look has got our imaginations running wild. Do you ever walk around the house like that?
I must admit I have, not a good idea when your brother has friends over and you were not aware of the company, learnt my lesson. It’s the best thing to sleep in.
What do you feel most comfortable and sexy in during a shoot?
It depends on my mood but if you put a outfit together properly you can feel sexy in anything. It’s how u work it.
And when you are at home relaxing?
When home relaxing, whenever that may be, I love my track pants, a t-shirt and pizza in front of the TV.
What has been the highlight of you modelling career so far?
There are so many things that have made my modelling career so incredible, being selected as the face of Calvin Klein’s fragrance ‘THE ONE’ as well as my new Rage shoe campaign that is in over 400 shoe shops around the country and billboards nationwide.
How did you get into modelling and where would you like to see it take you?
I got scouted at the young age of 14 while shopping with my mom. After moving around from agency to agency to find the best one for me, I fell in love with ICE Model management who have become like family. Modelling is gonna take me places people dream of. Positive thinking.
What is one of the most spontaneous things you have done and would you do it again?
Spontaneous. Everything I do is spontaneous. I’m an Aries…. Let’s elope?
What 5 things can you not leave home without?
My cell phone, makeup, bottle of water, heals (in case) and my purse.
