Slopeside with The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe

Last Winter we had the opportunity to shoot with the Ritz-Carlton at Lake Tahoe. We'd expected that the project would be mostly in the restaurant, shooting plated dishes and cocktails. Surprisingly, they had arranged two models and we were able to collaborate on some indoor and outdoor dining lifestyle images.


The other surprise was a mega snow storm on the morning we were to head back to the airport. The chief navigator (me) made a map-reading error which might have been a disaster, but John's driving chops got us home in one piece.
