Yesterday was my 45th birthday. So, taking 45 self portraits throughout the day seemed like a swell idea. I started first thing in the morning. Here we go!
Off to school
If this floor gets any dirtier, someone’s going to have to sweep it.
Amy and I met for lunch.
Communal.
The best food item on the planet is the Butterscotch pudding at Communal.
My office.
Fun surprise visit from our friends, The Hillmans.
Rootbeer float instead of a cake, or, how to have a perfect birthday.
Tomfoolery
It’s like pulling teeth to get this one to brush his teeth.

Got enough pillows, Ame?

so i pretty much love this.
i love the butterscotch pudding at communal and your wife is so lovely.
happy birthday to you.
you’re funny and these made me happy. and brandon talked me out of the butterscotch pudding at communal when we were there with the kendricks this month and i am so stinking mad!!
Perfection!! What a fun insight into your life. Your boys crack me up.
happy belated birthday! this post is fantastic; what a great idea.
i’ve been following your work for quite some time and have seen you around town (in a quiet respect/photography admiration sortofa way, not a creepy stalker way). i appreciate not only your masterful skill but also your innovation and ability to exhibit so much personality through your photographs.
well done, sir!
It looks like your birthday was fabulous! All best wishes to you! I’ll be at Alt this month – hope I’ll get to say hi!
Natalie, you’ll just have to come back to Provo. I don’t think I can oversell it. It’s truly divine.
Happy Birthday friend! You look lovely, as always.
(However, can I take this opportunity to also say that I LOVE Amy’s haircut? LOVE. Please pass that on to her.
)
Justin- What can I say?? YOU are THE MAN! Looks like you made it a wonderful day. Happy, Happy!
Looks like you had a great birthday. Nice idea for a photo project.
tomfoolery! love it
I loved it
Simple, fun, awesome 
I loved the little details- thanks for sharing with us! Happy Birthday!
I love Amy’s tablecloth
Did you get your annual limericks?
More fun than Simpson’s or Netflix…
Touting virtue or vice
And everything nice
With tales of your loveable antics.
I’m so in love with this idea it’s stupid.
When I saw you posted these I was late for an assignment, so I couldn’t look at them. As soon as I got to work this was the first thing I looked at online. So cool
Man. I’m all about interesting family portraits. The first one with you, Amy & the kids totally works for me.
Breakfast one too.
LOL’d at “Off to school.” Totally funny.
Also LOL’d at the shower one. So good.
I like when you mug for the camera, so butterscotch pudding is in.
I really like the 45 years of experience photo too.
Also drawn to the “My office” photo. I like how your legs are posed.
One of you & the kids where they’re partially in the frame is cool.
Again, non standard family portrait is great. Dinner photo rules.
Kids wrestling. Hah.
I didn’t know you were going to do this again. It’s like you gave us a present for your birthday!
Happy birthday, happy man. These are lots of fun.
Looove this idea! Real cool cool. Also, great job at altsummit!
