In the caption, Marcille also mentioned the company her daughter models for, Lunar Moon Kids, a children’s clothing store in Atlanta. “My baby Marley is always ready🌻 in @lunarmoonkids.” Fans agreed with the doting mother remarks as they complimented Marley on a job well done.

Marley Rae initially started modeling for Lunar Moon Kids in November 2020 after Marcille informed her fans that her-then six-year-old had posed and planned the shoot taken by a family member.

Earlier in the year, “The Rickey Smiley Morning Show” co-host revealed her daughter also had a passion for photography. With an image of her husband, Michael Sterling, taken by the grade-schooler, Marcille disclosed that she knew the moment Marley picked up the camera that she would excel at it.
“From the moment Marley Rae picked up a camera, I knew she had something special,” she wrote. “Watching her grow as a budding photographer and artist has been absolute splendor. She took this picture today [of] her daddy while he was in his zone and she was in her’s. I love my life I love my Sterling.”
