It’s always a nice compliment when another photographer asks me to photograph their family. And then when it comes to Heather Parkison, it’s a privilege just to hang around her for a while. Two things you should know about Heather Parkinson. She is a fantastic wedding and portrait photography. That’s the first thing. And the second thing, is that she and I are from the same home town: Rexburg, Idaho. We’re both Rexburgers. Heather, thanks for bringing the family to be photographed.
One of my favorite pictures of all time. I love this.

Coming up soon, in October, I’m going to be part of a very cool art exhibit at BYU. I’m really happy about that. The exhibit begins October 5th and there is an opening reception on October 14th and you are welcome to come join us. I hope to see you there.
Here are the details about the exhibit from their website:
Nature and Nurture: Narratives of Family, an exhibition of 10 contemporary artists with ties to Utah or BYU will be on display in the BYU Harris Fine Arts Center B.F. Larsen Gallery October 5,2010 – October 28, 2010. An panel discussion and opening reception will be held Thursday October 14, 2010.
The exhibition will include artwork by Lee Udall Bennion, Emily Fox, Justin Hackworth (hey, that’s me!), Lisa Jackson, Brian Kershisnik, Emily McPhie, Annie Poon, Madison Smith, Christopher Thornock, and Janis Wunderlich.
The exhibitions’ goal is to explore the complex relationships between mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons through a diverse range of artistic mediums and styles. By concentrating on images of the family, and parenthood in particular, this exhibition hopes to provide insight into the beautiful yet challenging dynamics that lie at the core of the family.

And speaking of exhibits, here’s a reminder that the 30 Strangers exhibit is now showing at the Provo Library until September 29th so you still have a little bit of time to get-on down there and check it out.
Also, this Thursday, September 23rd at 6pm, I’ll be speaking at the Provo Library (in the room right across the hall from the art gallery) and I’m going to be talking about the 30 Strangers project, my process of making portraits, and how you can make better portraits of your own. Informative, fun, and there may even be cookies at the end. And who doesn’t love a good cookie.

Well, the good news is I’ll be in New York photographing the BlogHer convention in August and I’m really looking forward to that. The bad news is that I won’t get to photograph Brooke and Kevin’s wedding in San Diego because it’s at the same time as the convention. But the good news is that I still got to photograph them for their engagement pictures. And the bad news is–wait, there’s no more bad news. That’s it.
And now, meet Brooke and Kevin.

Jennifer flew in from Houston and her mom came from Cedar City. About half way through our photo session, Jennifer said, “My mom doesn’t even know why we’re here. Isn’t that great that she’d come, anyway.” Yes it is.
When we were finished, Jennifer sang me an Ingrid Michaelson song. Now that’s a pretty good way to spend an afternoon. Taking pictures and listening to great music.
Read Jennifer’s blog here.

The Salt Lake Seven is a group of photographers that meet each month to show and talk about their work. It started in 1996 when I asked Kent Miles to be a private instructor for me. He suggested that instead, I find some other like-minded photographers, who also wanted to improve their craft, and that we meet all together, rather than one-on-one. Fourteen years later, I’m still going and I’m still learning and I’m still inspired by Kent and the rest of the group every time I attend.
No matter what level you are, if you care about getting better at photography, I’d suggest that being a part of an artists’ group will play a big part in your learning process. And it also helps when you have Utah’s finest documentary and portrait photographer, Kent Miles leading the group.

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.
