Updating Website

I have been feverishly trying to build my photograpy website. It is coming along. Not as fast as I would want it to, but alas, with a full time job at CDC and the busy Christmas holiday activities with the family, time becomes scarce.

Even though, I am excited about the new site and being able to make a great first impression with potential clients. I hope you like it. If you have any comments or criticisms, please, please, let me have it.

Go to www.hardeephotography.com. The link will bring you back here until I get the rest of the sections up.

Gots to go, it is late.

God Bless one and all.

Biography

Wondering about photography in general, whether or not I could take it up only as a hobby and be decent with it, was on my mind for a number of years. In 2005, I began reading everything I could on the internet and subscribing to different photography publications. I wanted to find out just how a camera works, about the different types of photography, lighting, film, digital and a lot of other factors. I said to myself, "I can do this... and I really enjoy doing it!".

I started small by taking pictures of family and friends. People liked what I did. It began. I started getting asked to photograph special events and even a wedding. I got hooked. I love the excitement that comes from knowing I can contribute to creating memories for people.

In September 2006, I officially launched Hardee Imaginations Photography. We are based out of Atlanta, Georgia. Currently we are locally based but are open to travelling whereever the need presents. We specialize in photojournalistic photography, documenting a story. A story that will mean so much more than traditional photography offers. We will be glad to do your wedding, engagements, family portaits and special events.

We hope that we can help you develop memories of those special people and events in yor life. We count it an honor to have you entrust us to document your once-in-a-life time events.

All sessions are performed at locations of your choosing, sometimes multiple locations. We will come to your home and photograph your special little one crawling and waving, making for a much more relaxed, casual and fun event.
