Portrait sessions in New York City

by justin on May 21, 2013

in portraits, Travel

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 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, so I only have 5 spots available while I’m in town. 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!”

You have two options.

Option ONE - $695

  • The Big City Session (multiple locations)
  • A $200 print credit toward our out-of-this-world, hand-made, fine art prints
  • 30 edited full resolution digital files

Option TWO - $995

  • The Big City Session (multiple locations)
  • A $300 print credit toward our out-of-this-world, hand-made, fine art prints
  • 50 Edited full resolution digital files
  • The Big City Session Album – A beautiful book with a Japanese silk cover, fine art paper, includes 20 of your favorite images

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.

You might be asking -

Is this for families or individuals?
Yes! Either one.

Can I make my own prints from the digital files you provide?
Yes! That’s the reason they are included. You’ll be able to share those digital files with family and friends, post the images on Facebook or your blog, or make your own prints.

What are your fine-art prints?
Providing beautiful fine art prints is something I value. I’m going to take beautiful pictures of you, and I want them to be printed and presented to you in the finest possible way. They are gorgeous, heirloom quality photographs, that will soon be an treasured part of your family history. Our fine art prints are just one of the things that set us apart from other photographers.

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.

A portrait of a town: Ottumwa, Iowa

by justin on May 15, 2013

in Travel

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.

Mother Daughter Portraits

by justin on May 14, 2013

in Family portraits

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.

Dispatch from the Road – Austin

by justin on April 27, 2013

in Travel, Weddings

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.

Austin, texas

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.

Newport Beach wedding photography

Wedding: Newport Beach
Reception: San Diego
Mood: Bliss and delight

I was so happy to photograph Stephanie and Michael’s wedding last fall in Southern California. There was a little bit of light rain when I left the hotel and drove to the Newport Beach LDS Temple, but by the time the happy couple arrived, the rain had stopped. Turns out, it was a perfect day.

One of the reasons I love to photograph weddings is because everyone is so happy. And it showed on Stephanie’s face as much as anyone I’ve ever photographed. These two are in love.

Meet Stephanie and Michael.

After the pictures in Newport Beach and a stop at a secluded beach location for a few more of just the bride and groom, everyone made their way to San Diego for the wedding reception. Michael and Stephanie are travelers, and they decorated the reception with that theme in mind. Brilliant!

This is the very talented composer, Andrew Maxfield. He’s currently finishing up a very cool project–it’s a CD of original compositions, mixed with poems written and read by Wendell Berry. I photographed Andrew at his house in Provo, Utah.

Fun musical side-notes: Andrew’s brother is the lead singer of Fictionist and he’s married to the cello player, Liz Davis Maxfield.
