Hello,
I am a california mom and happened upon your portrait give away for the benefit of women in provo and would love to have my portrait taken with my daughter. I also have a sister in law who lives there in Sandy has a wonderful relationship with her daughters. If I can’t do it I would recommend her she is full of fun and charisma.

We would just make it up there because we were able to. But BYU Womens Conference is at the end of April so that would work out well for me too.

thanks

I would love to be part of this project. And considering how many times my mom and Grandma have volunteered me for things, I can safely say I am volunteering them for this as well. I also have 3 daughters (including a newborn) if you were to waive that age thing, but I totally get why you have it. My mom is in town from Cali from April 1-3, so any of those days would work. I can’t wait to hear from you!

My grandmother passed away before we could get any more than a snapshot at a family reunion where my nearly 2 yr. old daughter was squirming out of my arms. It’s all I have of the four of us. I love this project and would love to be a part of it. I have three daughters 13, 10, and 7 and my mother. I would make myself available whenever, we have family in SLC.

If you are looking for some cute little Chinese women, I would love to do this with my Mom, sis, and Grandma! End of April works best I think.

I can give you 4 generations if you will but consider my 3 1/2 year old as the 4th subject!? Please! We have a snap shot of the 4 of us when my daughter was 6 months old but have yet to get a more recent or more professional one taken. My grandmother, mom and I would still be available but how could you turn down my adorable blonde haired, blue eyed only daughter!?

We are not above bribery – choose us and we will be on time with Henry Wienhard’s vanilla creme soda in hand. USU 20 year old blonde/blue eyed student with her 48 year old dark hair/brown eyed mom are available on any Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday. This portrait would be a treasure especially since mom is moving across the country to reside in George and leaving her only child in Utah. I guess you need to cut the cord sometime. Good luck with your project – never heard of anything like it!

Hi,
I would love to have a picture with my pretty mama, she gave me up at the age of 18 only to find out that a little while later she had the chance to get me back and she did…thank goodness she never gave up hope! She is my best friend, and I hope you choose us!

Oooooooooooooh, an excuse to drive I-80 across Northern Nevada to rendevous with you and my beautiful daughter Lauren who is going to school at Paul Mitchell in Provo. This would make me sooooooooo happy. And I would bring my famous lemon bundt cake for you and your bride. I’ll be there. Just tell me when!

I’d love to participate! I live in Arizona but will be in Utah the weekend of April 11 with my mother, who is turning 60 in April, and my grandmother, who is turning 90 in April, and my 5-year-old daughter, who is a year too young, according to your guidelines. But I’d love pics with my mom and grandma even if my daughter can’t join!

Just discovered your work– love it! I’m coming to Orem from Canada April 3-8 and would love to have a portrait of one of my daughters and myself. But which of the three would I choose?

Thanks so much for your dedication!

Justin, I remember this project from last year and how awesome I thought it was. You’ve had so many comments – my chances are pretty slim, but would love to participate if chosen. We live here in Provo and I have 2 daughters – 22 and 25. They are both teachers and may be leaving the area this next year due to the poor job situation here.

We would be available from the 20th to the 30th. (Good luck with choosing!)

I followed this project last year. I thought it was lovely! I have SO MANY reasons; really reallly GOOD reasons why you should pick us and why we would LOVE to be a part! No really I do! I can’t WAIT to tell you all the reasons!
Just the tip of the iceburg… 11 years ago, i left an abusive relationship. A Womens Crisis Center was my lifeline-no kidding- for two days until i could get in touch with family to help me from there. I have been raising my two beautiful children all on my own for 11 years. It has been a fairytale life ever since, just maybe not how the “original” fairytale was written, but a fairytale none the less that we made as the three of us went along.
This last year, would you believe that i have met the love of my life, and now do i not only have the fairytale life… i get my ‘happily ever after’ TOO! How lucky am I?
I have a daughter, and the man of my dreams also has a daughter, who i love as if she were my very own. So you see… We would absolutely LOVE to be a part of your project-a project that has meaning for us too!

If we are so lucky enough to be chosen; a Perfect time for us would be the end of March – first week of April, as my Mom would be in town as well.
If not, any time in April would work for us! We cant WAIT to meet you Justin! Thanks so much for sharing your talents & for giving to such an amazing cause!
xoxoxo!
Jodi

I’d love to be a part of this project! I have a six-year-old daughter. I also have a sixty-something year old mother, but she is in Hong Kong at the moment (and for the remainder of the year). That would be really cool to have all three of us. But since she is out of the country, I would be honored to be a part of this project with my mini-me. Thanks Justin!

And we would make any day in April work.

How about a mother (me) who is an artist (painter) and 3 daughters who are ballerinas. The ages of the daughters are 14, 10 & 10 (identical twins.)

Any day would work fine, we are only about an hour away from you.

I’m not in Utah BUT I COULD BE. And I would bring my mom. And maybe my grandma. Because that’s how much I’d love to be a part of this. I’m willing to sit in a car with both of them for ten hours just to get our picture taken. YOU’RE WELCOME.

Hello Justin!
Saw this project last year on Cjanes blog & I thought it was such a wonderful idea. I love your work & think it would be so much fun to participate this year. It is for a really good cause also. I’m an artist & mother of three girls & soon to have our first little boy in June (insert squeal her). Although we live in Reno, Nevada, I have a brother in Provo we could stay with & we would totally be willing to travel the 8 hour drive for such a special photo shoot. I see everyone is tempting you with food, lol, I don’t bake very well but I make one heck of a cheeze-it treat mix. It’s my GG’s recipe & no one can resist them. Have a wonderful weekend & good luck picking 30 lucky ladies.

Hi Justin,
I think I can make a very good chocolate tart. I will definitely like to share it. I have 4 kids, 3 boys and a girl. She would love it if you pick us.
Anyway, this is a very cool project.
