Set against the sun-washed elegance of Coronado, this San Diego photoshoot captured effortless coastal luxury with a modern, fashion-forward edge. The iconic seaside setting provided the perfect backdrop—where ocean air, historic architecture, and golden California light came together to frame a visually rich and relaxed aesthetic.
The shoot was photographed by Jonah Gilmore of Rocket Science Studios, whose signature eye for movement and natural light brought a cinematic quality to every frame. Production was led by Heather Winfield and Venessa Johnson, seamlessly coordinating talent, wardrobe, and location to create a cohesive visual story that feels both elevated and approachable.
The property—expertly listed by Ken Wilson—served as more than a location; it became an integral character in the shoot, blending luxury living with relaxed coastal charm.
Wardrobe was curated from a diverse mix of standout Southern California boutiques and retailers, including GSB Men’s Clothier, Charlotte Russe, Maggie B’s, Dana G Boutique, Mister B’s, Be Styled, and TRE Clothing. Accessories were thoughtfully styled by Fairen Del, adding refined finishing touches that elevated each look.
Styling direction was led by Venessa Johnson, while hair was expertly styled by Mirza Batanovic of Headlines The Salon. Makeup artistry was provided by Ann DeNicolo of Flirt Makeup, delivering a polished yet natural beauty look that translated flawlessly on camera.
The shoot featured an exceptional lineup of models: Lauren Moore and Caroline Amiguet, both represented by Shamon Freitas; Agustine Brum of Zarzar; and male models Matt McMinn of Blew Print and Marcelo Mancini, represented by CESD Talent in collaboration with Shamon Freitas.
Together, the creative team delivered a shoot that embodies San Diego style at its best—laid-back, refined, and undeniably photogenic.
