I do. And I love it.
Thanks, Justin Hackworth.
He is doing this project called 30 Strangers and I saw something on it when I was looking at blogs and avoiding all the things that I should have been doing. Well, my procrastination/terrible housekeeping skills paid off. I knew they would, someday. We were so lucky to be one of the 30. His focus was moms and daughters, as many generations as we could. Check him out, I think his stuff is pretty amazing.
I take so so so many photos. It was kind of fun to be on this side of the camera. Not like watch your kids on the roller coaster fun or out to lunch with the girls fun. This was a fun that I have never experienced. Yes, I was hoping he was going to make me look like a super model (you're lying if you say you haven't secretly hoped that before). Yes, he made me look like me, instead. Yes, I understand that is perfectly alright. He had some major make-you-feel-comfortable-in-front-of-the-camera-skills. I didn't know photographers were this good. Like, my wedding photographer? During my bridal shoot I told him I didn't want to sit the victorian looking chaise lounge that the pulled out. If you know me, you know it doesn't suit me. He kicked the thing across the floor and said, "Who is the photographer here?" Uh. I don't know. The scary guy that just kicked the chair? Maybe it is because I took my kids to Target to get their photos. With Justin? He knew just what to say to make Eva stop doing the fakey smile. He didn't make us hold any fakey flowers or tilt our head like we were posing for the D package. I walked away all feeling all giddy and super impressed.
These are the photos he posted (in order of my favorite):
Oh, and to top it off? After the shoot we walked over and got some gelato and sweet Eva picked me some flowers. Lucky, huh?
