Now here’s a couple people I wish lived in my town. I bet we’d be friends and do stuff together. Right, Scotty and Michaela? They used to live here (I didn’t know them, then) and now they live in Washington D.C. and came to Utah for a family visit.
Here they are, smart and polite, Scotty and Michaela.

Here are more Justin Hackworth portraits.
Would you like to know about the experience others have had with Justin Hackworth Photography? Here’s what Marta Dansie emailed me after coming with her mother to be photographed:
hello justin,
it was a joy meeting you. marty and i feel lucky to have had the experience of a photo session with you. you have truly made the most of every element of the photo shoot experience; the chit chat, the music, the rad studio space, the easy going laughter. the designer in me loved all of your identity packaging. am completely inspired. in fact, we talked the whole ride back to salt lake about your professional–and yet fun–ways and your uniquely fresh take on picture taking. we are both smitten. so let me gush. you really make people feel gorgeous just as they are. your personality exudes so much energy and passion for your art. that kind of stuff is contagious. thank you for donating your time and talents, fundraising for a good cause and giving us the gift of such beautiful photographs. a photograph like yours is one that will be treasured forever. thank you, thank you. i do hope this isn’t the last time we meet; you are way too awesome to meet only once.
truly. marta
We’d love to create the same experience for you and your family. Give us a call.

I love how close I live to this place. On Sunday, the temperature at my house was 4,000 degrees. We drove 15 minutes up the road, just above Sundance in Provo Canyon, and it was 20 degrees cooler that it was in Provo. Not that it mattered to my son. He has little use for shirts in nearly any kind of weather.

Whitney called. Her sister Emily was having her final MFA show at BYU. And since everyone would be in town for family good times, that seemed like a fine time to be photographed. Thanks for coming, all.

Brenda had such a good time when we photographed her daughters that she decided to come back with her son. Not a bad idea.

Our 30 Strangers project is well under way and we’re a third done. But what to do about all those people that still wanted to participate after the 30 spots were filled? Well, we came up with a great plan and a super deal. If you want to know what it is, email me and I’ll tell you all about it. That’s what Natalie did.

The baby’s coming soon. Time for some family pictures.

Last week we announced our 30 Stranger project coming up in April. I can’t wait. Well, once Gabrielle and Stephanie mentioned it on their blogs, it only took a couple hours to fill all the spots. (Last year when we did it in two days, I thought that was fast–but two hours? Wow. What’s going to happen next year?) And what to do about all those people that still want to participate, but contacted us after the 30 spots were filled? Well, we came up with a great plan and a super deal. If you want to know what it is, email me. That’s what Shelah did, because she knows the value of getting stunning portraits of her and her daughters.




Big, big thanks to the Penny Royal Cafe where some of these photographs were taken.
Next week we begin the 30 Strangers project and I’ll be making daily posts as the project progresses, so hang on to your hat. This is going to be great.

The Robisons used to live right behind us. They don’t now, and we miss them dearly. And not just because Julie used to pass delicous food to us over the fence. (The dolmathes were my favorite and she made them from the grape leaves that grew on the fence between our yards). We miss them because they were fabulous neighbors.
So I was happy when they called and wanted some family pictures. Taken January 1, this is my first portrait session of 2009.
















Here’s where you can see all of their family pictures

They call him Frank. I call him Tom. Here’s what happened. The night before these pictures were taken, I met Frank for the first time at our party. Stace introduced me and told me her husband’s name. The next morning I went to their home and prided myself on remembering his name, even though I had only meet him once, the night before, among many others that came to the studio to say hello. I kept calling him Tom and at one point, realized that I was the only one calling him that. Stace kept calling him Frank. Turns out, she was right, I was wrong. His name is Frank. Oh. Hi Frank.
Ok, so the joke’s on me. But they were gracious and we had a great time making these pictures. They even danced. I love that.
In addition to the images below, I have also posted a slideshow that shows a few more of their family pictures.
Thanks Christianson family. I had a great time.

“Put your head between your legs.” Those were the first words spoken between Marilyn and Chris. He came to work in the lab were she was in charge. Their task was to dissect rats. That, on its own, wasn’t so tricky, except Chris had rats for pets when he was a kid. Luckily, Marilyn was there to offer not only good advice, but also comfort when Chris started to feel a little faint. A real love story.
Here’s a one minute slideshow of more Valentine family pictures.
