This shoot with Santa Cristina Wines was all about energy, movement, and that effortless feeling of a great day unfolding with friends. We spent the day in Jacksonville, Florida creating a lifestyle fashion-driven editorial that felt bright, social, and alive—less posed, more lived-in. The goal was simple: capture the kind of moments that feel spontaneous, joyful, and easy, the ones you want to linger in just a little longer.
The styling and production were led by the talented team at Curate & Co., who pulled together a look that was modern, playful, and perfectly balanced between fashion and lifestyle. We moved through a wide range of scenes to build variety—different groupings, textures, and moods—while keeping the overall story cohesive. Friends gathering, laughing, sharing wine, and just enjoying being together became the natural rhythm of the day.
Santa Cristina’s wines were woven into the scenes in a way that felt organic and social, never forced. These images were created specifically for Santa Cristina’s social media presence, so we focused on dynamic compositions and moments that feel scroll-stopping but still authentic. The result was a collection of images that feel fresh, energetic, and human—exactly the kind of content that invites you in rather than talks at you.
Shoots like this are a reminder of why I love lifestyle editorial work: when great collaborators come together, the energy shows up in every frame. Big thanks to Santa Cristina Wines, Curate & Co. and the lovely models for a breezy, creative day and a project that was as fun to make as it is to share.
