Who said you have to live in Utah to be photographed by Justin Hackworth? Whoever said that should wash their mouth out with soap. Because you don’t have to live in Utah to get your family pictures from me. I’ll come to you (I hope you live in Italy) or you can come to me. That’s what Stephanie did. She and her family live in Oregon and just happened to be in town for this, that, and the other and included on the list, a stop at my studio.
Meet Stephanie and her family

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.

As you may know, 30 Strangers is not only a portrait project, but also a fund-raiser for the Center for Women and Children in Crisis. Instead of paying me a session fee, participants in this project make a donation to the women’s shelter here in town. What they do at the crisis center is both is remarkable and essential. Before Jodi came to be photographed for day three of the project, here’s what she said in an email to me:
Crisis Centers have a special, close place in my heart. 11 years ago, I was forced to spend a couple of days in a Crisis center in Arizona with my young son. I will never forget the kindness and protectiveness they showed me in a time in my life that i was frightened, far away from family and those that love me, and I needed help. The crisis center opened their doors to me and extended a helping hand & a tenderness that I will never forget.
And now, Jodi and her family.

My wife’s friend Molly has joined a great Christmas cause called The Giveaway Giveaway. Originating from Miggy, the idea is to offer you a giveaway that you give to someone else anonymously. So you nominate a worthy friend, sister, neighbor, teacher, general loved one, and that winner wins a free portrait session, plus 20 high res files.
See all the details at Molly’s site, A Good Grief, where she is hosting the giveaway. Leave your comments on her post to enter. While you’re there, check out her story of grief, loss, connection and healing. She is one strong girl.

Heather and I have at least two things in common. We’re both photographers (her blog here) and we both grew up in Rexburg. That’s why we get along so well.
Thanks, Heather.

I’ll admit it. I felt a little uncomfortable getting my picture taken. But it’s only fair, right? I mean, that’s what I expect others to go through on a daily basis. Plus, I was really excited to see what sort of pictures a capable photographer would make of me.
So far this month I’ve had 38 portrait sessions (26 of them have been for the 30 Strangers project), but Saturday was the first time that anyone brought along a camera to photograph me.
I think it was a pretty good experience because it really gave me a sense of what it must be like for those people that come to me so I can visually tell the story of their lives and their family relationships.
And so to Kiera, I say, thank you, and home run.

Later, Megan’s sisters showed up and I took pictures of the whole group. Amongst themselves there was some catching up to do, of course, so the conversation included this gem.
One sister: Today my son ate two of my birth control pills. He’s fine. The lady at poison control said he could eat the whole pack and all he’d get is a stomach ache.
I love my job.
