Thirty Strangers – Day Twenty-Seven
Rachel came from Colorado to be photographed with her mother, grandmother, and daughter. That’s cool, but here’s the even cooler part. It was a surprise to her mother–her arrival, the portrait session–the whole thing. I love that.
….
Side-story: Rachel had a little girl with her that, at one point, wasn’t all that happy. So she did what any two-year old would do to let us know she wanted a little attention. She cried some. I asked Rachel if it would be ok to give her a sucker. Sure. So I asked our adept intern if she’d go get it. A few minutes later the kids were chewing gum but no one was eating a sucker.
Me: Did you find that sucker?
Ashley: I couldn”t find it.
Me: Really? It should be right on my side of the desk.
Ashley: Umm…. I ate the sucker.
Well, it was a Blow-pop. Can you blame her?

Justin Hackworth photographs lovely weddings and happy people. Why do you keep putting off your family pictures? Don’t wait much longer. Before you know it, those little kiddies of yours will be off to college in New York or Seattle and by that time, they’ll be too heavy to sit on your lap. Let’s talk. Now’s the time for family pictures.

The 30 Strangers project will soon be over. But what to do about all those people that still wanted to participate after the 30 spots were filled? (We filled them in about 2 hours). Well, we came up with a great plan and a super deal. Interested parties still have a little time to get in on it. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll give you the low-down. That’s what Jenna did. And I was so glad she did, too. She’s a photographer, too, and I always love meeting other creative types.

Getting my picture taken was a little awkward
I’ll admit it. I felt a little uncomfortable getting my picture taken. But it’s only fair, right? I mean, that’s what I expect others to go through on a daily basis. Plus, I was really excited to see what sort of pictures a capable photographer would make of me.
So far this month I’ve had 38 portrait sessions (26 of them have been for the 30 Strangers project), but Saturday was the first time that anyone brought along a camera to photograph me.
I think it was a pretty good experience because it really gave me a sense of what it must be like for those people that come to me so I can visually tell the story of their lives and their family relationships.
And so to Kiera, I say, thank you, and home run.

Hey, that’s just how I feel about Photography.
I saw this on A Photo Editor’s blog this morning. Any other photographers feel the same way?
“You put a camera in my hand, I want to get close to people,” he said. “Not just physically close, emotionally close, all of it. It’s part of the process.”
“It’s a very weird thing being a photographer.”

Me: I love your shoes. They’re fabulous.
Her: Thanks. My son gave them to me.
Me: Wow. That was really nice of him.
Her: Well, I did him the favor of putting them on layaway at Nordstrom.

Our 30 Strangers project has less than one week left to go and it’s been great. We’ve had a great response and a lot of fun. I’m so happy to have met everyone that has been a part of it.

If you’re interested in this fabulous deal, you’ve got less than one week to go. Email me and I’ll tell you all about it. That’s what Angie did. Thanks for coming, Angie.

Someone in these photographs is 100 years old! (I’m going to let you guess which person). When I asked the secret to her long life and what she ate, I got this answer: Bacon.

Looking for family photographs just like mama used to make? I don’t know what to tell you there, but if you want something fresh, authentic and artistic with a dash of whimsy, we should talk. Wedding photography? We do that too.

There’s no sense in getting family pictures as often as you brush your teeth. Once a year will do. Been longer than a year? We should talk. Getting hitched? We do that too.
30 Strangers Update
We’re now 1/3 finished with the 30 Strangers project. I love how it’s been going so far, I’ve loved meeting the people that have already been here, and to tell you the truth, I’m going to be sad when this thing is over.
I also wanted to remind you that we’re raising money for charity. Each of the 30 Strangers donates to the Center for Women and Children in Crisis instead of paying a session fee. This is a great organization that “provides a caring, advocating, safe, and educationally based environment for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.” They are doing something extraordinary. We love what they do and are happy to be helping them out. If readers of this blog are interested in giving to them as well, you can find out how on their website.
To all those that have already made a contribution, thanks so much for your generosity.
Now, hang on to your hats, because we still have 20 more portraits sessions to go before we end this year’s version of 30 Strangers.
Thirty Strangers – Day Ten – Portraits
Later, Megan’s sisters showed up and I took pictures of the whole group. Amongst themselves there was some catching up to do, of course, so the conversation included this gem.
One sister: Today my son ate two of my birth control pills. He’s fine. The lady at poison control said he could eat the whole pack and all he’d get is a stomach ache.
I love my job.

Show your loved ones how much you care. Get family pictures. (They’ll think you hate them if you don’t). Getting hitched? We do weddings! Need a sexy picture for your new online dating profile? We do that too. Call me. (For the picture, not for the dating).
