Local session tips
San Diego weather is famously mild, so Point Loma sessions run year-round. Aim for the last hour before sunset for the warmest coastal light, arrive 15 minutes early to relax and adjust wardrobes, and let Mikayla handle location scouting — she's shot every corner of Coastal multiple times over.
