About us
If you are in the Southern California Area and interested in meeting up with other photographers with the same interests as you (FASHION and BEAUTY PHOTOGRAPHY)
then you have come to the right group!
We will all get together a few times a month to do fashion shoots with models, makeup artists and wardrobe stylists. We can all learn from each other in this group!
While these shoots are for portfolio building and not a workshop learning experience , I will be there if you have any questions, or you can learn from your fellow photographers by watching them!
*** RULES***
You must upload photos in high res to the meetup group page here after the shoot.
At least one shot of each model that you end up shooting! This will make it so much easier for the models/creative team to just download the shots! No more sending emails out to the models. Just upload them here and you are done!
Plus that way I can keep track of the people that do not upload photos!
Show them off on the facebook group page as well if you like!
https://www.facebook.com/groups/SoCalFashio...
But definitely upload them to this meetup page!

Coastal Summer
Sheraton San Diego Marina, 1380 Harbor Island Drive, San Diego, CA 92101, San Diego, CA, US✨ COASTAL SUMMER ✨
📅 Date: FRIDAY, May 29th, 2026
⏰ Time: 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM
📍 Location: San Diego, CA***
### COASTAL SUMMER
Step aboard a beautifully preserved 1938 wooden yacht and one of San Diego’s most iconic historic vessels, for a coastal fashion shoot set right in the heart of the harbor.
Coastal Summer: The Nautical Edit blends sunny San Diego energy with a refined, high-fashion approach—think rich teak wood, signature teal seating, and layers of sailboats and water surrounding us.
We’ll be docked in the marina (not sailing), giving us a stable, relaxed environment to focus on creating strong, editorial images while still capturing that dreamy on-the-water feel.
The styling will follow a cohesive nautical palette of navy, cream, and white, with wardrobe centered around structured blazers, classic stripes, and minimal coastal pieces. The overall vibe is effortless but elevated—clean, confident, and fashion-forward.
Throughout the shoot, we’ll use the natural elements of the yacht—railings, ropes, textures, and light—to create dynamic, visually striking images with a mix of movement, structure, and strong posing.
With a small group of photographers and just three models or so, this will be a collaborative and easygoing experience where you’ll have space to get creative and walk away with a beautiful, cohesive set of images.
If you’re drawn to sunshine, coastal style, and a high-fashion edge, this is going to be such a fun one.***

### Midnight in Marrakech
– Photoshoot Experience
Step into a world of lantern-lit ambiance, velvet shadows, and opulent detail. This shoot is inspired by the rich, moody atmosphere of a Moroccan night—where glowing lanterns, deep jewel tones, and intricate textures create a setting that feels both cinematic and timeless.
We’ll be shooting inside a stunning, dimly lit restaurant environment filled with warm, low lantern light, carved wood, lush greenery, and layered textiles. Think editorial meets destination luxury—like a high fashion campaign set in the heart of Marrakech after dark.
Models will be styled in bold, statement looks, from designer @temptressarmory with metallics, embellishments, and dramatic silhouettes that catch the light beautifully. This is a perfect opportunity to capture:- Rich, low-light editorial imagery
- Dramatic contrast and shadows
- Intimate, storytelling moments
- High fashion posing in a unique environment
Expect a mix of seated and standing poses, using the environment—plush couches, detailed tables, and ornate surroundings—to create depth and variety in your shots.
This shoot is all about mood, atmosphere, and storytelling—lean into the shadows, play with light, and capture something that feels transportive and elevated.***
