Justin Hackworth Does It Again!

It is the time of year again. Justin Hackworth at it again, making mothers and daughters glow from within with his amazing photography skills. Wanna sign up? Go to his site here for more details.  My mom, grandma, daughter and I were lucky enough to participate last year, you can see more about that here and here.

 

One of the nicest, most talented guys I know.

Don't Forget

Two things to remember this day (and tomorrow, even Thursday)-



First, our fantastic giveaway. isotope rocks. Go here to ENTER.


And second, Justin Hackworth's 30 Stranger Exhibit. I get to wear a button that says "I'm a Stranger". Justin says I can wear it to the supermarket too. Cool. And even better, if you donate $25 donation to the Center for Women and Children in Crisis you can, for free, schedule their own mother/daughter photo sesh (business talk). It is on Thursday, July 2nd, July 2nd, 6-9pm
1 East Center Street #215 beneath the beautiful Provo mountains. See here for more information.

What are you doing Thursday night, besides heading to some family reunion?

Perfect Strangers

When I was thinking of a title for this post this tv show came to mind, but then all I could do was sing it to the tune of this song. Odd.



Remember me telling you about my photo session with the impressive Justin Hackworth. I'm Day 8 (kind of make me feel like I am saying "I'm July, take a look at my calendar", but in a non Kathy Ireland but better kind of way.) Remember me telling you I loved every minute of it? Well, come and meet the living legend himself at his 30 Strangers Portrait Project Exhibit. Here are some of portraits from his sessions.







I'll be there, will you?

p.s. only one more day for the paperwhite jewelry giveaway, click on the link at the top right and enter!

these are a few of my favorite things

i just got this shwell necklace from justin hackworth. he is an amazaing photographer and he took pictures of us a while back. he now has the ability to put your images on jewelry. isn't mine radical? justin wears a cute bracelet with a pic of his wife on it. well, it's not kosher to call a dude's bracelet cute. his wife's picture is cute. and it's cute that he wears it.


anyway, i love this necklace. and talk about an heirloom. only problem is i have 2 girls. who to pass it on to. they'll have to box for it....

thanks justin. for the photos. for the necklace. for being alive. you rule. and everyone who is not justin should check out his site. soooo great. you might spot mavis & i on there, but only if you know what to look for (wouldn't want to blow our mysterious cover.....)

remember when i did an etsy post and i raved about how much i loved these sun earrings? well, i done did buy them. aren't they ravishing against my dark locks? i looooove them. thanks stella & lux.


and this is my favorite nail color. it seems pretty summerish and it's finally warm enough to bust it out. it looks so great with sandals. and is very similar in color to the golden gate bridge. what more can you ask for from your polish? orly is the brand. haute red is the flava.


-Dove

Strangers are like belly buttons

Long before I even knew Dove was a friend of his, I have been perusing Justin Hackworth's photography site. Imagine my pure delight when I found out he and Dove are like family. I had little scenarios in my mind of how I would finagle a session with him. Enter his famous 30 strangers in 30 days (dove is the gal in the top right photo, pretty isn't she?). Justin is no stranger to me, but he doesn't know me from Ben Affleck's wife so I qualify. And as luck would have it, I was able to procure a coveted position in this year's 30 strangers shindig.

I've heard fantastic things about his photography skills, beautiful things about his social abilities but words don't do justice to what a great guy he is. He makes you feel right at ease. And pretty. And like a model. And pretty on the inside. I hope to have many more opportunities to use his great talent.



He is on day 8 of his 30. Above is me and my daughter C. My daughter, my mother, my grandma and I all participated today. His theme this year is mother and daughters. Lucky for me I am both. And how fortunate to have photos of my daughter with her great-grandmother. Take a look here.

Here is my advice, book him. For any family portraits, brilliant looks at anyone you love, a good conversation, call him.

have a lovely day,
