Photo Shoot with The Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay

Arguably the best shot. Period.

Outtakes

This past August I was approached with a dream opportunity to not only style, but star in a photo shoot for The Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay, California. 

Behind the scenes

Created a flat lay inspiration board to prep for the shoot

Chris and I dressed to impress for the first scene

I was given three scenarios (checking in, eating breakfast and downtown excursion) for which I was to style outfits for my partner and I. Lucky me, my husband Chris was available to be my fellow model. And boy did I pull off a little miracle because most of you know that styling guys is not my forte. Chris is a major no-fuss kinda guy but I have a good eye, and somehow ensured our outfits played off of each other’s vibe and color scheme. I think the final product turned out great, if I do say so myself.

Prepping the behind the scenes takes

Outtakes 

Our first time experiencing this particular Ritz Carlton property and no surprise it’s lovely. Always an eye and a nose for detail, I loved the scent we were greeted with upon entering the hotel lobby. I LOVE a hotel that knows first impressions are everything, and from the moment you step foot inside, you’re immediately impressed. Which is why I cannot wait to go back for a longer stay, when we aren’t there to work so much as to play!

Thank you to the photographer & videographer on set. It was a pleasure to work with everyone on this project.

Shout out to the owner of this vintage Porsche. What an absolute dream car and opportunity to model with this beauty. Obviously the highlight of the shoot.

Outtakes

Shout out to the nice bellhop who opened and closed that car door probably 20 times before we got the winning shots. 

Finally, Thank you to The Ritz-Carlton crew for allowing the model a quick wine break in between takes. It was crisp. It was cold. It was good. It was needed.
