Justin Hackworth is gearing up for his second 30 strangers project and it is going to be beautiful. 30 mothers. 30 daughters. 30 strangers. His generosity and creativity will combine to bless 30 families with timeless art and will help the Center for Women and Children in Crisis too. Tune in everyday this month for heavy doses of great photography.

INSPIRED ON MONDAY: Light

I love this song and I love this video. Isn't the light incredible? Almost everyday I see an image, a video, a painting or design that makes me inspired. This is just one of them.
**I am completely open to the possibility that this may spook some people. Its cool. My husband introduced me to this and is freaks him right out.

hair

I need a model for a project I want to do this spring. A model with great hair. The key word here is unique- big, long, unique, short, red, curly.
Is it you? Do you know someone?

Anything else...really, just shoot.

Sneak Peek

Lovely Mallory + handsome Nick. She, smitten. He, head over heels.
Her dress was something only she could make look that good and naturally, he only had eyes for her.
Their wedding was simple and elegant.
Temple promises, great weather, loving family, close friends, no fuss.
Congratulations you two. I LOVED being part of your day.
