“Today last year I convinced my almost 90 or maybe more years old Granny, cuz we don’t know how old she is, my mom’s mother to switch clothes with me and have a shoot to my surprise, she was up for the idea. This by far has been the highlight of my career, I will forever cherish these special moments,” Dee wrote in the post’s caption.
