I want to move to New York, just so I can hang out with Mara and Danny more often. These two will put even the crabbiest of grouches in a very good mood.
Their very popular blog, A Blog About Love, chronicles their own love story and also gives advice on how to keep the fire burning.
I’m so glad we got to spend and afternoon together, Mara and Danny. Let’s do it again some time. And thanks for the pizza!












You can follow Mara on Twitter here.
You can see a slideshow with more pictures of these two here.
And you can see the images she selected for her blog post here.

When I was in New York in August to photograph the Alt Summit Conference, I stuck around a few extra days and was able to line up some additional photo sessions. This week on the blog, I’ll show you how those turned out.
First, the Allyn family. These wonderful folks live less than a block from Central Park, and Central Park is amazing, of course, so we decided to do the pictures there. So, we’ve got a husband and wife with their two daughters, her parents, and a nephew.




















Check out Pam’s amazing foundation, Lit World.
And let me know if you want me to put you on the list for a New York portrait session next time I’m in town.

When Andrea first called to schedule a portrait session, she said it was going to be her with the kids. When she showed up, she said there was a change of plans. See, for years, her husband and had been asking for pictures of just her on her own–not family pictures, not pictures of the kids–just Andrea, looking lovely as always. So that’s what we did.
Meet Andrea.

Here’s my brother Jeremy with his lovely wife Carisa and their kids, photographed in San Diego this July. Soon, I’ll have some pictures from their wedding celebration, which is the reason I went to California in the first place.
But for now, please meet Carisa and the good doctor Hackworth.

I just returned from New York City and as luck would have it, I’m headed there again later this month to photograph another event. This time, I’ll be sticking around a few extra days for a limited number of photo sessions in the big city.
Guess what I’m calling them? Big City Sessions. Guess who they’re for? You! I’d love to photograph you in the greatest city in the world, New York, New York, the town so nice they named it twice. There are only Five (3, now) Big City Sessions available and they will take place on August 22, 24 and 25.
Imagine all those beautiful, iconic photographs you’ve seen of New York City. Now, imagine them with you in the picture. These sessions will last a little longer than a regular portrait session, so I only have 5 spots available while I’m in town. These portrait sessions will be tailored just for you, with multiple locations, anywhere in Manhattan that you’d like.
At this point, you might be saying to yourself, “Ok, ok, I’m in. Stop talking and just tell me how to book a session!”
You have two options.
Option ONE – $695
Option TWO – $995
To book a session, email me (justin@justinhackworth.com) and we’ll arrange a time for you on one of the following days: August 22, 24, 25.

You might be asking -
Is this for families or individuals?
Yes! Either one.
Can I make my own prints from the digital files you provide?
Yes! That’s the reason they are included. You’ll be able to share those digital files with family and friends, post the images on Facebook or your blog, or make your own prints.
What are your fine-art prints?
Providing beautiful fine art prints is something I value. I’m going to take beautiful pictures of you, and I want them to be printed and presented to you in the finest possible way. They are gorgeous, heirloom quality photographs, that will soon be an treasured part of your family history. Our fine art prints are just one of the things that set us apart from other photographers.
Feel free to email me if you have further questions.
Email today to book a session. justin@justinhackworth.com
See you soon!

Well here’s one of the coolest couples you’ll ever meet, Dave + Tiffany, photographed on Coronado Island, California. I’ll bet we would have had a real nice conversation, too, but they were too busy kissing each other. They’re not engaged, but people on the street congratulated them over and over, as if they were. That’s funny. As if that’s the only reason to get pictures of you and the one you love.
And thanks to my brother Jordan who carried my camera bag for me and drove us all around. If you ever decide to quite being an anesthesiologist and want to try something else, I’ll employ you.










Would you like pictures of you and the ones you love? Let’s talk. By the way, I’ll be doing a limited number of shoots in New York City in August. Details to follow shortly.

I know Trilby because we work together on the Rooftop Concert series. We’ve placed her in charge of the green room for the bands, making sure they’re comfortable and well fed. She does a great job and we’re so lucky to have her help.
So that’s how I know Trilby. And so, it was an honor to photograph her with her four daughters this month. Thanks for coming in Cope family.






I like to call Trilby “Trilby coming around the mountain”. Say it out loud. It’ll make more sense.

Today I scanned some negatives.

This picture was taken in the summer of 1999. It’s of my friend Heather Roberts at her house in Salt Lake City. We had just spend that Sunday afternoon at her friend Kim McKay’s cabin at Sundance. A girl named Amy Ferguson was there and she was the real reason I was there, too, as we had just started hanging out and I wanted to see her again. So Amy and I sat on that deck, on a lovely Sunday afternoon at Sundance, and kissed for the first time. There’s a picture somewhere, of our feet on that deck chair, but I couldn’t find it when I was scanning these negatives.
Heather and I drove back to Salt Lake and I sang happy songs the whole way home. Probably something from the band Cake.
At Heather’s house I asked if I could take some pictures of her–you know, like I do, as I will, and I shot a couple rolls. There’s a few pictures that are all right from those rolls but as I was about to leave, she stepped inside the house and I saw that this was the picture I had to take.
Ten months later I married Amy.
Two years later this picture was selected to be in the Utah Art Council’s permanent collection and appeared on the cover of American Photo Magazine.
One of the things I love about photography are the memories and stories that are inextricably attached.

Ben Silbermann
Here is the brilliant Ben Silberman, founder of Pinterest, photographed in Salt Lake City. He was the keynote speaker at Alt Design Summit and got a standing ovation at the end of his talk. I asked him if people recognize him now, on account of the success of Pinterest. He said, “Thank goodness, no. I would hate that.”

Sadey got married earlier this year and then had this really good idea to give her new husband some pictures of herself as a Christmas gift. Very thoughtful, I’d say. Way better than some socks. And I was flattered she asked me to photograph her.
Meet Sadey.

Megan’s the oldest in a family of awesome. She and her sisters are all funny, friendly, and have great style. If you get one of her sisters on the phone, it’s impossible to tell them apart. They sound the exact same. Same giggle, same voice inflections, same exact sound.
Megan told me that her two year old daughter wouldn’t like me and would most likely cry the whole time I was there. I’m happy to say that didn’t happen at all, and in fact, when I was walking out the door after taking these pictures, her daughter called out “Goodbye Justin. I love you.” And that’s a lot better than crying.













Megan is a writer, a great writer, and keeps a blog here.

There are some people that I am always secretly hoping they’ll ask me to photograph their family. Lucy has been on that list for a while, so that made my day when she emailed and said she wanted family pictures. Meet Lucy and Andrew, photographed at their home in Provo, UT.

Interested in family pictures like this for yourself? We should talk.
