Behind the Scenes: Terranea Resort Photo Shoot

A lot of work goes into planning and executing our photo shoots, and this shoot for our January/February 2010 story on Terranea Resort was no exception. The location was beautiful and the crew was fabulous, but no amount of preparation could have prevented the “freak” mid-morning fog bank that rolled into the resort. Luckily, a lunch break and a couple of indoor shots later it had moved on, allowing us to get in some final afternoon shots.
Here’s a glimpse of our favorite behind-the-scenes moments (above), and you can check out the entire article in the newest issue, on newsstands (and online) now!
Clockwise, from top left: trying to work around the fog bank that rolled in; assorted necklaces to choose from; getting a close-up in the spa on a salt scrub; the crew watching at the spa pool; making good use of the dual balconies to get a great shot; Victor Maze (art director), Ericka McConnell (photographer), and Veronica Sooley (photo editor/stylist) going over images; Wendy Mink earrings.
