Capturing LA’s Beauty in Santa Monica
During my trip to Los Angeles last October, I had the chance to work with several incredible models, and one of the standout sessions was with SolBaby—a stunning brunette LA native whose vibe perfectly captures the beauty and essence of Southern California. You can check out more of her work on her Instagram, @solbaby117.
The Perfect Setting: Santa Monica Airbnb
For our shoot, we found the perfect location—a cozy, sunlit Airbnb nestled in Santa Monica. The setting was ideal, with just the right amount of California charm and laid-back vibes to complement SolBaby’s effortless beauty. The space had a mix of modern and vintage touches, creating a cool and intimate atmosphere that allowed us to focus entirely on capturing her essence.
SolBaby: The Embodiment of LA’s Natural Beauty
What made this shoot special was how effortlessly SolBaby connected with the camera. She has this calm, confident energy that feels genuine and unfiltered, making every frame come alive. There’s something about her that truly embodies the spirit of LA—a mix of beachy, sun-kissed ease and city sophistication.
The way she carried herself in front of the camera made the shoot flow naturally. Whether lounging by a window bathed in the soft afternoon light or catching a breeze on the balcony, SolBaby brought a relaxed yet magnetic presence that was a dream to work with.
This shoot was one of those where everything just fell into place—the location, the vibe, and the energy SolBaby brought. She was easy to work with, open to ideas, and brought her own creative spark to the shoot, which made the session feel collaborative and fun.
Capturing her in the heart of Santa Monica felt like we were shooting a love letter to LA itself—celebrating both the natural beauty of the model and the relaxed, sun-drenched lifestyle that defines the city.
Working with SolBaby was a highlight of my time in Los Angeles, and I’m looking forward to seeing what we can create together in the future. If you want to see more of her incredible work, be sure to follow her on Instagram at @solbaby117.
