This was one of those assignments that when I drove home, I thought to myself:  ”I love my job.”

I’ve been to Double JJ Resort previously but never before in the wintertime.  My assignment was to photograph the dog sledding and indoor water park.  Of course, my tour guide insisted that I hop on the dogsled to try it out.  I was game for the adventure.  Here was my view:

One of the dog mushers was straddling me, and telling me that the previous time she rode in the sled, she wiped out.  So, here I am holding on to dear life, grasping on to $7,000 worth of photo equipment.  

We survived, and I had a blast. 


I had to straddle a rather large man on a snowmobile to get these shots.  He drove me to where the dogs would ride past;  I would hop off, then hop back on.  I had my cameras strapped to me like Xena Warrior Princess.  Did I mention that I lost my phone in the snow and had it run over?  

I love my job.

I don’t think I have been to, nor shot a wrestling tournament since high school.   This was my favorite frame from yesterday.

It is NO secret if you know me…I LOVE chocolate.  My friend, Kris, is a very talented writer in NYC who started blogging about her own chocolate obsession on a daily basis.  She has some amazing recipes and advice about any and all types of chocolate.  AND, she featured me as her chocolate lover of the week.

Berkley is almost one, and he also the most ADORABLE little boy!  He is SO happy, and how can you beat those big blue eyes and rockin’ hair?!  He also happens to be my cousin’s little one…so I’m a little biased.

Thanks for such a fun shoot!  Berkley is truly a joy to be around.
