Me: Do you want to be famous?
Krissy: Yes I do.
Krissy is an opera singer. When she came to the studio I got her to sing for me and now I want her to be famous, too, because I think the world deserves to hear that beautiful voice of hers.

Last week we announced our 30 Stranger project coming up in April. I can’t wait. Well, once Gabrielle and Stephanie mentioned it on their blogs, it only took a couple hours to fill all the spots. (Last year when we did it in two days, I thought that was fast–but two hours? Wow. What’s going to happen next year?) And what to do about all those people that still want to participate, but contacted us after the 30 spots were filled? Well, we came up with a great plan and a super deal. If you want to know what it is, email me. That’s what Shelah did, because she knows the value of getting stunning portraits of her and her daughters.
Big, big thanks to the Penny Royal Cafe where some of these photographs were taken.
Next week we begin the 30 Strangers project and I’ll be making daily posts as the project progresses, so hang on to your hat. This is going to be great.

I love it when people stop by to say hello, just like Sammy did earlier today. And I just happened to have my camera with me and couldn’t pass up the chance to make some picutres of her. Sammy is a great painter and it was good to hear what she’s up to.

For Lizy and Nick’s engagement pictures, we drove out on the North side of Utah Lake. They were real champs and didn’t balk at the idea of walking out in a teeny bit of mud, even though they both had new shoes. And let me just say, their shoes were fabulous. So here they are: Lizy and Nick. Beautiful.
If you’d love to get some gorgoues pictures for yourself and someone you love in a classic documentary style, we should talk.

We’re excited to announce a new photography project coming up next month. It’s called 30 Strangers: Generations, and it’s inspired by the 30 Strangers project I completed in June 2008. (See it here). The idea behind the project is to photograph 30 portraits of 30 strangers in 30 days.
This year, every day in April, I will photograph a different mother and daughter whom I’ve never met. We’re hoping that on many days we’ll have not just two generations, but three or four.
Want to be part of the project? Believe me, spots will go fast. To participate, please read the info carefully on this page.
I can’t stress that enough. Please read all the info carefully before you contact us. That page will give you everything you need to know about the project–when, where, why–and how to let us know you want to be involved.
As part of the project, we’ll be raising some money for the Center for Women and Children in Crisis, a shelter and safe house here in Provo. If you want to make a donation too, it’s so easy.
Once our project begins, daily updates will be posted here, so stay tuned.
Pictured above are participants from last year’s project.

On March 6th, 2009, the Sego Art Center in Provo, Utah, had a very cool performance piece called “I am Chris Purdie.” Read what it’s about here.
This is how it went down.

Lisa and Greg got married in Salt Lake City at the Point in February. It was lovely as can be and I was happy to be there.
Care to see more?

Jordan plays soccer and is on her way to Uganda with the rest of the team. Justin Hackworth Photography will be lending a hand in their fund raising efforts. Here’s the deal. If you want senior pictures, we’re offering a great price of $99 for the session fee which we’ll donate to Goal for Girls organization, helping send the Timpview soccer team to Africa.

Funny man and traveler: Chase. The list of countries this guy has visited is a mile long. And seriously, his mom looks like Caroline Kennedy.

Not too long now before Brett leaves on a mission. Oh, sure, he’s got to finish high school first. But if you ask me, he already fits the part.

I love confident people. Here’s how things played out with Chelsea, who plays basketball for Timpview High School in Provo.
Me: So you play basketball. Are you the best player on the team?
Chelsea: Uh, yes.
I love it. What more do you need to say?

They call him X. His name’s Xavier. He likes chick flicks and long walks on the beach. Just kidding. He likes to smash and crush people. He’s a football player at Timpview and in the summer he’ll be headed to Los Angeles to play for UCLA.

I just spent some time trying to think of anyone I know that is as pleasant and cheerful as Melissa and I could only think of 14 people. Just kidding. I couldn’t think of anyone. That’s how cheerful she is. And she’s a fine photographer, too.
If you know Melissa, you’ll consider yourself lucky any time she’s around.
As always, great to see you today Melissa. Come back soon.
