Great writer, Amy Hackworth
Have you been reading her columns on Designmom.com? Wow. Every week (usually Mondays) she’s got a post on there that is thoughtful and thought provoking. Oh, I’m telling you what–I love this girl.

If you were in college and living in Provo back in, say, 1993, then there’s a pretty good chance you went to Mama’s Cafe. It was, at the time, one of the few places in town where live music was played and it was owned by a guy that knew everyone: Mr. Johnny Rowan. The last time I saw Johnny was way back then, at Mama’s Cafe, where my friend Garrett and I played a set of cover songs that ranged from the Counting Crows to Lou Reed.
So it’s been a while since I’ve seen Johnny, so I was thrilled when he called and asked me to photograph his family.
Meet the Rowans.

She’s from Texas, he’s from Australia. Friends and family from all around the world came to Austin for Meg and Simon’s wedding. And I was honored to be their photographer.
Meet Meg and Simon.

On the night before Simon and Meg’s wedding in Austin, Texas, they gathered with friends and family at a place called The County Line. Loved ones hugged each other, ate good food, and told stories about Meg and Simon. A lovely evening, to be sure.

I did this last year and loved it so much, I’m doing it again this year. Portrait sessions in New York City.
So here they are again, Big City Sessions. Guess who they’re for? You!
I’d love to photograph you in the greatest city in the world, New York, New York, the town so nice they named it twice. There are only Five Three One Big City Sessions available and they will take place on June 19, 21, and 22.
Imagine all those beautiful, iconic photographs you’ve seen of New York City. Now, imagine them with you in the picture. These sessions will last a little longer than a regular portrait session, and there is limited availability. These portrait sessions will be tailored just for you, with multiple locations, anywhere in Manhattan that you’d like. At this point, you might be saying to yourself, “Ok, ok, I’m in. Stop talking and just tell me how to book a session!”
To book a session, email me (justin@justinhackworth.com) and we’ll arrange a time for you on one of the following days: June 19, 21, 22.
Feel free to email me if you have further questions. Email today to book a session. justin@justinhackworth.com
See you soon!
Here are a handful of pictures from last year’s Big City Sessions.

Abby grew up in Ottumwa, Iowa. She graduated from high school then headed off to college, first to Utah then graduate school in North Carolina where she lives, now. And, that’s most likely where she’ll stay.
Her parents have lived in Ottumwa this whole time, so she goes back from time to time. But maybe her parents will leave. They are both retired, now, and maybe they’ll try a different town in a different state. And when they do, there really isn’t a reason for Abby to go back.
And so, with that prospect in mind, she hired me to photograph her home town. She wanted photographs of all the places that have meaning for her and all those places that are in her stories of where she grew up.
Here is my version of Ottumwa, Iowa in April. (View more and buy prints here.)

I hope you had a good Mother’s Day on Sunday. I called my mom. Told her I loved her. And I made Amy Tai Chicken pizza for dinner and gave the kids corn dogs because I didn’t think they’d want any of the Tai Chicken, plus, I wanted Amy to have as much as she wanted.
And speaking of Mother’s Day, here’s some recent mother/daughter portraits.
I taught a photography class at UVU this last semester and Shay was one of the students. It’s probably not fair to say she was one of my favorite students because how would that make the other classmates feel? So I won’t say that. I won’t say that she was one of my favorite students and that she has an award winning smile.
Meet Shay and Lisa.

We’d never met before. Only talked on the phone. But when she saw me last night (I didn’t even know she was the bride, yet), she said “Justin!” and ran up and gave me a big, tight hug. I’m in Austin, Texas right now. I’m in town to photograph a wedding, and last night was the rehearsal dinner, a barbeque with the couple’s friends, and that’s when I met Meg, the bride, for the first time. I liked her instantly and I’m so excited to document the wedding day.
Here’s a picture taken last night at the rehearsal dinner.
The dinner took place at a restaurant called The Country Line. The servers sent me on the way with the biggest single serving of meat I’ve ever had. I was, of course, in meat heaven. Brisket, sausage, chicken, turkey and pork ribs. Maybe I should have taken a picture of that, but frankly, that’s a meal I won’t forget.
The rental car is a Fiat 500. Theses cars are adorable. And I’m driving around Texas with the radio tuned to a country music station. Texas Country. Robert Earl Keen, George Jones, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Buck Owens, Loretta Lynn, Tayna Tucker…you get the idea. And here’s a thought I’ve never had before: I sure wish I knew how to line dance.
I’ve got a little bit of time this morning before I start working. So I’m going to find a doughnut place called Gordoughs, recommend to me by a few folks on Instagram and Facebook. But get this. There’s a TGIFridays in the hotel, and can you imagine making that mistake–you’re in Austin, Texas, and you somehow decide that your best choice for food would be TGIFridays? Yikes!
But now let’s talk about you for a minute. Do you have a wedding coming up you’re and looking for a thoughtful, perceptive photographer that can tell the story of your wedding with grace, beauty, wit and without artifice? Is getting authentic photographs one of the things that’s most important to you on your wedding day? Well then, let’s talk. I’d love to hear all about your event and see how I can help.
