hey friend.
We're The
Hardins.
HI! So nice to "meet" you! We're the Hardins. John, Carly, Coast + Lani! We are so happy you're here. Our business has been a family business from the second we became The Hardins LLC. We are so passionate about what we do, but we're even more passionate about our little family.
We love Jesus, family, spicy foods, Hawaii, Italy, cookies, the ocean, and going to the movies (seriously - if we are ever missing, check the movie theaters...or Rome).
When we started "The Hardins", we were shooting weddings all over the country and outside of the country! John did video, I did photo. It was amazing, but when we started having kids, we decided to strip it down a bit. Carly had been shooting senior photos for years, but decided to pour all of her energy into it. Today, "The Hardins" as a business, is mainly Carly on the front end. John still plays a huge role, but is really playing the amazing role of "dad" most of the time. We thought about changing the business name, but ultimately -- this business wouldn't be the same without our little family. So, the Hardins we stay.
here's the story behind the hardins:
my reason(s)
I picked up a camera 9 years ago and never put it down. Every snap and click over here comes from me! It all started with a Canon Rebel T5i and now it's a full blown business. My love for owning a business definitely grew and grew & eventually I found that I had a passion for teaching other business owners. I've seen first hand how potential, knowledge, and tools can become a business. So I want to help others do the same.
I am PASSIONATE and silly. I love heated debates about stupid things (but they also make me sweaty and mad sometimes). People energize me, but I also love my alone time.
Carly’s favorite things: peonies, potatoes, painting, music, ice cream (Monkey Business from Handels...that's holy ice cream), Gossip Girl, themed parties, chocolate, physical planners, YA novels about summer romance, pretty much any kind of Asian cuisine, the beach, and dancing.
Hey, I'm carly
