And here’s my entry. It’s a triptych of parade watchers and I’m really trying to pad my entry by including a picture of Courtney’s brother there on the right in the cool hat. I like to win things.

Me: I love your shoes. They’re fabulous.
Her: Thanks. My son gave them to me.
Me: Wow. That was really nice of him.
Her: Well, I did him the favor of putting them on layaway at Nordstrom.

The 30 Strangers project will soon be over. 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. Interested parties still have a little time to get in on it. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll give you the low-down. That’s what Kiera did. And I was so glad she did, too. She’s a great photographer and I’ve been wanting to meet her for a while. Well, today I got to.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again–I love my job. Thanks for coming in today with your mother and your daughter, Kiera.

Justin: (to the daughter) It’s Friday night. What are you going to do tonight?
Daughter: I don’t know.
Mother: You’re going to babysit.
Daughter: Babysit? Why?
Mother: Because Mama looks hot. I’m going out.

Ensure family harmony by getting photographed together on a regular basis. Getting married? We should talk.

Me: Do you want to be famous?
Krissy: Yes I do.
Krissy is an opera singer. When she came to the studio I got her to sing for me and now I want her to be famous, too, because I think the world deserves to hear that beautiful voice of hers.
We’re excited to announce a new photography project coming up next month. It’s called 30 Strangers: Generations, and it’s inspired by the 30 Strangers project I completed in June 2008. (See it here). The idea behind the project is to photograph 30 portraits of 30 strangers in 30 days.
This year, every day in April, I will photograph a different mother and daughter whom I’ve never met. We’re hoping that on many days we’ll have not just two generations, but three or four.
Want to be part of the project? Believe me, spots will go fast. To participate, please read the info carefully on this page.
I can’t stress that enough. Please read all the info carefully before you contact us. That page will give you everything you need to know about the project–when, where, why–and how to let us know you want to be involved.
As part of the project, we’ll be raising some money for the Center for Women and Children in Crisis, a shelter and safe house here in Provo. If you want to make a donation too, it’s so easy.
Once our project begins, daily updates will be posted here, so stay tuned.
Pictured above are participants from last year’s project.

On March 6th, 2009, the Sego Art Center in Provo, Utah, had a very cool performance piece called “I am Chris Purdie.” Read what it’s about here.
This is how it went down.

I love confident people. Here’s how things played out with Chelsea, who plays basketball for Timpview High School in Provo.
Me: So you play basketball. Are you the best player on the team?
Chelsea: Uh, yes.
I love it. What more do you need to say?
They call him X. His name’s Xavier. He likes chick flicks and long walks on the beach. Just kidding. He likes to smash and crush people. He’s a football player at Timpview and in the summer he’ll be headed to Los Angeles to play for UCLA.

If you ask me, their story is hot. They met on a house boat at Lake Powell. So there you go. Summertime. Swim suits. 100 degrees. Leisure time. No wonder they’re in love. That’s very cool. I mean, hot.
Big thanks to the Penny Royal Cafe in Provo for letting us take pictures in their space.
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.
They met like this: Her dad started a motorcycle shop. He hired some guy to run the place. I think that guy knew Greg. Then Lisa was at the shop or something. There was also something about kissing. Listen, the story was complicated. What it comes down to, really, is that in February, Lisa and Greg are to be wed.
Here’s a one minute slideshow with a few more of their engagement pictures.
Gooooo Buffaloes!
Janet writes on internet marketing, affiliate marketing, business blogging, and social media. She came to my studio because she’s updating her blog and wanted a new portrait to go with it. Two things about Janet really impressed me. One – she knows so much about the convoluted world of SEO and business blogging. A true expert. At one point I found myself thinking it felt like I was at a seminar. She is so smart. The second thing that impressed me was how generous she was in answering all my questions. All 5,000 of them. She even gave me a tutorial on how to use Twitter. (I still don’t get it. Come back, Janet).
By the way, this isn’t my first time making pictures of her. I photographed her earlier this year when she got married.
