Aaliyah: Rare Photo

🔁 via @j_thelight: #7DaysWithYourFave [Day 1|Aaliyah Haughton] I was in High School (Leadership and Public Service) and my classmate, Jillian (Hiii Jillian, wherever you are😊) was like, “Did you know Aaliyah is gonna be in Brooklyn later?” For what!!! “‘The Romeo Must Die’ CD signing.” We in there!! After school, we went straight to the record store in Brooklyn, got on line and I not only did I get to express to Aaliyah how much I LOVE ❤️ her, but while the line reached the end, her management announced “no more pictures.” 😭 BUT when I got to Aaliyah, in tears of Joy I asked, “Please, Aaliyah?” And with her jovial and smooth smile she gently replied, “of course” and Jillian snapped this photo of Aaliyah and I, with my disposable camera📸. #memories #7dayswithyourfave #aaliyah #15yearoldme #life #blessed #angels #healingwork 😇 | What a beautiful memory and picture to go with it! Thank you for sharing! I always enjoy hearing about these kinda stories. More and more it just shows how much time Aaliyah made for her fans no matter what 🙏💚 #Aaliyah #AaliyahArchives #AaliyahDanaHaughton #AaliyahHaughton #Babygirl #Lili #Liyah #TeamAaliyah #Rare #RMD #RomeoMustDie

Aaliyah: Focus With Jonathan Mannion: Hip Hop's Iconic Photos Revealed (Parts 1 to 4)

Perspective Edit Made By Yours Truly. Photography By Jonathan Mannion.

Sorry I've not been posting as much everyone! I was ill a few weeks back, plus it was my birthday a few days ago too 🙈, but I am back, and ready to share everything pertaining to our beloved Babygirl! So for anyone who has missed out, you can keep tabs on our site! 😉

As some of you may be aware, yesterday BET uploaded a few videos via Youtube, as well as BET.com, showcasing a 1 of 4 parts documentary titled 'Focus: Hip Hop's Iconic Photos Revealed', which features photographer Jonathan Mannion (one of my favourite photographers of all time!) who gave us a sneak peak into his archives (Aaliyah's last ever photoshoot before she passed away) of never before seen, rare images of Aaliyah (Videos 1 & 4). 

All I can say is wow! Once you watch these videos, you'll be in complete awe of how he captured such a fun, care free side to Lili (something which we rarely ever get to see in her photoshoots). And for all those who are Hip-Hop heads, all of these videos will definitely give you an even more in-depth look behind the scenes, as well as shared memories from Mannion himself.

I was unable to embed their video into the site, but here's the link! Hopefully they'll upload this to Youtube! ☺️ Also, as a little treat I was having fun by making perspective edits, so here are a few I have made so far...

As you can tell, they're not the best quality, but it gives us an idea as to how the images look at the right perspective. I plan to make a few more, so be sure to keep tabs via my Instagram and Tumblr page! Enjoy! 😉
