The beaches of Santa Monica attract all sorts of visitors-- don't be surprised to see families playing on the sand next to a boot-camp fitness class with a barking instructor. Visit the Santa Monica Pier, a haven of shops, restaurants, and carnival attractions (including a Ferris wheel) atop a wooden wharf.

I had an aMAzing experience with my private photographer, ❤️Alina❤️! She offered creative suggestions for backgrounds/poses and was more than willing to incorporate my vision as well. I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our role play. Alina was the paparazzi, and I, of course, was the look-alike star, the mistaken identity. ???? So much fun!! You have to see it (below) to believe it. ❤️Alina❤️ captured great action shots of me hiding my face as I escaped the intrusive paparazzi of Beverly Hills. The weather wasn’t the best during my vacation as it rained on and off. However, Alina diligently watched the weather and offered backup times just in case. Thank you, ❤️Alina❤️, for making my private photo tour everything I wanted!
