This is from a July 2020 shoot near Crescent City. I sometimes do trade shoots with local models (up here, 100 miles away still counts as local) who have little experience, it helps me stay sharp and it gets them some portfolio material. Ellen Eli is in that category, and she has some potential with enough experience.

When we frame the image, we crop out elements of the real world. In this case, there was a large family having a picnic on top of the hill to the right. Also the models rarely get enough credit; it never really gets warm on the beach in northern California, and this day was no exception. She still needs to pretend she's not cold.
