Here’s a fun story that I think you’re going to like. Lacy came to my studio to be photographed with her mother and her two sisters…
Lacy
The mom, Kathryn
Sister, Keri
Sister, Madelyn
We talked a little bit so I could get to know them, you know, like I do. And then I started taking pictures. Everyone individually at first, then each daughter with their mother…

It was at this point that the conversation turned to Madelyn’s pregnancy. (Madelyn is the one on the left). She said something or other about when it was due, and then, Lacy said something like, well, she’ll have a little cousin about 8 weeks younger than her.
Someone's having a baby
That’s right. Lacy (far right) is pregnant. And she planned to come to my studio, then wait until just the right time to tell her mother and sisters the happy news. She wanted to have a picture of that very moment. Well played, Lacy. Well played.
Celebration
A happy day
Congratulations, Lacy. And thank you for allowing me the honor of being able to photograph such a happy moment. I just love the way this played out.

What is 30 Strangers? Read here.
He was in the Air Force. She worked in his office. They went to the same dance one Friday night. He asked her on a date. She said, “I wouldn’t date you if you were the last man on earth.” They’ve been married for 56 years.
Here’s Pat with her daughter and grand-daughter.

Justin Hackworth photographs happy people and he wants to photograph you. Getting married? Hot diggity, you’re in luck. We photograph weddings, too.
Six years ago, on April 1st, Jenn’s 9 month old baby passed away. Since then, the family finds something meaningful to do every year on this day to remember little Lillian. They go to the grave site and they also donate blankets to the hospital. This year, in addition to those things, Jenn was selected to be one of the 30 Strangers and asked if she could come on April 1st. She wanted to be photographed with her other daughter as a tribute to the one they lost. I was so happy to be able to accommodate that request.
So now, here we go. The 30 Strangers has begun and we’ve started with a powerful and touching story to kick the whole thing off. Be sure and come back to the blog every day, as I’ll be posting a few selected images from each session.
This is day one. Enjoy.

Justin photographs happy people and beautiful events. Getting married? We should talk. Getting married in Greece or Italy? My passport is current. Just saying…
Are you like me? Do you look at these pictures and think, “Well now, I’d sure like to be friends with those people”. And if you are friends with them, consider yourself blessed because, as I’ve come to discover, these here are two very charming ladies.
I love my job.
