As spa, hotel, and resort photographers, we have been doing a lot of traveling the last couple of years going to some very exotic luxury resorts and spas. Of all the places we have been, I have to say California is still my favorite place to be. On one of our recent trips, we half jokingly said we are going to start calling ourselves “California” resort and spa photographers. The reality is it’s our favorite place to live, travel and work and it just so happens to be a great place to be a spa and resort photographer.
Here are some of our favorite spa, hotel and resort locations to do photography in California. Our favorite place would probably be wine country of Sonoma and Napa. Big Sir, Carmel, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and San Diego all have beautiful hotels and resorts as well. We hope to focus our efforts more in the coming years on doing more photography in our beautiful home state of California.
Our favorite things about photographing resorts in California are the food, the weather, and the style and sophistication. I have always loved gourmet California cuisine even when I lived in the midwest and east coast. I have to admit I sometimes take the abundance of organic produce and food for granted. Whenever I come home after a long trip, California gourmet food is one of the first things I can’t wait to get back to. There is also an eco-friendliness / green living that I really appreciate about California as well. I also find that resorts and spas tend to focus more on the healthy lifestyle aspect in California, something I sorely miss at resorts that do not have that. California luxury resorts also tend to have more focus on all natural or organic spa treatments, something I really love and appreciate. As a spa and resort photographer, I really appreciate working in an environment that reflects my own California lifestyle.

I have been wanting to photograph a redhead in nature for awhile now. We just did this shoot last week. No plan or shot list for this shoot, just went out and played. Shot at the ink wells, a secret swimming hole in Marin County in California out by Lagunitas. I once shot a CD cover out here many years ago and forgot about it until recently when we were driving by. It’s a beautiful little spot.

This is a fashion and lifestyle photography shoot we did with an up and coming model named Emma Aikens who is represented by Cast Images out of Sacramento. Emma is only 16, and very adorable as you can see. Sometimes we shoot indoors and outdoors in the same day, but it takes a little planning. With Emma we decided to do some studio photos for a few hours and then head out into nature.
The grass images were shot in our front yard, and the nature images were taken up north in Novato. Near the end of the shoot a herd of cows came to visit us, they were very inquisitive and would come within inches to sniff you if you stood still enough. You can see them at the end of this post.
