✨ 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.

### 📊 Photographer-to-Model Ratio
I aim for 1–2 photographers per model.
I do overbook slightly to account for inevitable flakes and always do my best to have backup models available. While I can’t control last-minute no-shows, I work hard to maintain a strong ratio.
