How to Photograph a Photographer
She goes by Cat. Her name is Catalina Ayubi and she’s a wedding and portrait photographer in Miami. She’s a friend of mine that I met at WPPI last year. It was great to see her again this year and she was good enough to give me some of her time so I could photograph [...]
Willie DeFord
Willie lives in Grand Junction, Colorado. Attorney by day, blue-grass musician by night. Now, I’ve never seen him do any lawyer things. I’m just assuming he’s as good as they get. But I have heard him sing and play his guitar and when that happens, you get a permanent smile that won’t fade for three [...]

Utah headshots – Brett
I’ve know Brett since we were in Mrs McCullochs class, way back in the third grade. He’s one of the funniest people I know and I steal his jokes on a regular basis, then pass them off as my own. For example, once he sent me a slogan for the city of Orem that went [...]

Thanks, Ashley
Ashley arrived in the middle of April to do an internship at Justin Hackworth Photography. When she showed up, the 30 Strangers project was well under way, and I just can’t imagine how I would have been able to keep up without her help. She came at the right time and from the first day [...]
Utah wedding vendors at Alta Moda
The finest place in Utah for weddings gowns is Alta Moda. There’s no secret there. And every so often they have a party for wedding vendors. You know, photographers, florists, DJ’s, divorce lawyers. (Just kidding about the lawyers). So a few days ago I went to their party with my girlfriend who also happens to [...]

Provo portraits – Sammy
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.

Utah Wedding Photographer
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 [...]
Provo Portrait – Stephanie
When Stephanie came to our party in December she said I couldn’t take any pictures of her. Well, now, that’s hardly a reasonable thing for a pretty girl to tell a photographer. But I respected her ridiculous request. So I was really glad she stopped by today so I could photograph her with a brand [...]

Salt Lake Tribune Photographer – Trent Nelson
Turns out, one of my favorite people is also one of my favorite photographers. I’ve known Trent Nelson for at least 20 years. But it’s not that often that I get a chance to see him. So I was pleased as punch when he came by my office today to say hello. Trent is the [...]

Enizio Dress Drive
Our friends at Enizio Salon (they did the hair and makeup for Lindsay here and here) are putting together a dress drive as a fund raiser. It works like this. You donate your formal gown that’s in great condition (but let’s face it, you’ll never wear it again) and they’ll sell it and give all [...]
Portrait of the wedding photographer, Justin Lyon
What luck. Justin Lyon is in town to for the Sundance Film Festilval and had a couple photo shoots just down the block from my office. So he stopped by to say hello. Justin seems like the happiest person I know. I can’t imagine that he’s ever frowned or been sad. Justin and his lovely [...]

Utah Portrait Photography – Sarah and Michael
Sarah already told Michael what she wants for Christmas. She said she wants some portraits of the two of them from Justin Hackworth Photography. I always knew Sarah was smart. Here’s a short slideshow with a few more of their portraits.

Hats
Gheen and I arrived in New York last Wednesday with plenty of time to walk around and see if there was anyone selling hats in that town. I like the big fuzzy one.
King of the Adams Apple
Last night I had a crushing disappointment. I was supposed to have secured a press pass to go shoot the Wilco concert. Everything was lined up a month ago, but three hours before the show started I got a call letting me know it wasn’t going to happen. I’m still not clear on the real [...]

What smart people do
You should, just as a matter of course, read Stephanie’s blog on a regular basis. But today, oh today is a special day. Here’s a picture of Stephanie. And while I can’t read minds, I like to think that in this picture, she’s thinking of ways to make her blog even better.

Great news for the brides in Southern California
One of the classiest, most elegant girls I know is Heather Balliet. I shot her wedding in San Diego some time ago and anyone in attendance could tell Heather cared about the details. It was about as lovely and stylish as any wedding event I’ve photographed. And now, get this: She loved her wedding so [...]

Jeff’s house
We stayed at Jeff and Laura’s house one of the nights Amy and I were in Las Vegas for WPPI. When I woke up, I made these pictures.

Portrait – Nurse Johanna
I think Johanna looks like Laura Linney. She was such a great sport and jumped off those bleachers several times without complaining. Nurse Johanna, thanks. This was a great way to spend the noon hour.

Julia and Ben
For a while, Julia and Ben have been the first thing you see when you go to my website. The image was taken when we were shooting their engagement pictures way back when. They’ve now been married six years and look as young and beautiful as they did back then. I was thrilled to hear [...]
Portrait – Bruce Howell
When Bruce went to the hospital they told him he had cancer. They told him that he had one month to live if he didn’t take the treatment, eight months if he did. That was nearly two years ago. After the doctors told him the news he kept working for another year. Retiring early was [...]
Family Portraits – the Zrno Family
Angela is one of my favorite people of all time. But big deal, because anyone that knows her would say the same thing.

Leigh Lake
It’s been a while since Christian and I have done anything together. That’s why I was so excited when he invited me to go kayaking with him at Leigh Lake, just past Jackson Hole on the Wyoming side of the Tetons. Christian and I grew up together and I’ve known him for thirty-one years. I [...]

Ben makes cool stuff – just add soda.
Ben gave me and Amy a cool glass with one of his designs on it. It’s like everything he touches suddenly turns cool.

Party at the Websters
Thanks to Ben and Briar for another great party. I lost in the first round of the horse races and I’m not happy about that one bit. It did leave me free to snap a few pictures, however. Good time had by all.

It’s been too long.
I went to Liberty Park today with the kids. I called Doug to see if he was around. He came to the park for a while, then we went to see his new house in Sugar House. It was great seeing him and it’s been too long since the last time we spoke.

Portrait of Ben
Ben is as good as any designer you’ll ever find. The ladies love him and he’s easy to make laugh. Ben, you charmer.
