Photography is my passion. I live for it. Breathe for it. Dream about it at night. I love photography because it’s a little bit like magic. It’s the only way in this fast paced world that we can stop time and capture our precious memories forever…A newborn’s tiny toes, and cute button nose,  a toddler’s smile, your family’s love for each other.  Memories fade, but pictures are forever!

I would be so happy to share my passion with you and help you capture your memories! Please call me at 760.522.9798 to schedule your session today!

It’s Holiday Family Photo Time! {San Diego Family Photographer}

October 17th, 2012

Yes, it’s that time again…time to start thinking about sending out holiday cards and buying holiday presents. And in this economy, who really wants to think about that? LOL! But what if you could invest in something that would serve as a gift, while also serving as a gift for yourself and helping with holiday cards? Sounds like a win-win-win situation!

Well, you’re in luck because Family Portraits are a great way to do just that! You can frame them or make jewelry out of them and give them out as gifts to grandparents, aunts, uncles, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, etc, and you also get a gift for you to hang on your own wall! Plus they make great holiday cards as well! Now that sounds pretty economical to me!

Kelli Hardacker Photography will be offering two packages this year, one where you can pick your photo shoot location and time and one at the beautiful Old Poway Park in Poway on November 10th. Here are the details:

1) The “Jingle All the Way” Package:

  • A full-length 1-hour Family Photo Session
  • At the location of your choice
  • Includes 30+ hand edited digital images on a disk
  • Full printing rights
  • Up to 5 people (add $15 each additional person)
  • $200 plus tax

2) The ”Deck the Halls” Package at Old Poway Park  

  • A 30-minute Mini Family Session
  • At Old Poway Park
  • Includes 10 downloadable digital images
  • Full printing rights
  • Up to 4 people (add $15 each additional person)
  • $100 plus tax

Please note: 50 % of the session fee is due at the time of booking to reserve your spot and is non-refundable. The remainder is due at your session.

Time slots are already filling up! Please contact me ASAP if you are interested at kelli@kellihardacker.com or 760.522.9798.

Happy Birthday to my Pretty Puppy! {San Diego Photographer}

March 21st, 2012

Born to the hard streets of Tijuana, Mexico, Abby and her Mom and littermates were rescued by a wonderful organization called Animal Rescuers Without Borders (ARWOB) and brought to the United States in May 2011. When we saw her up for adoption, we knew she was perfect for us. We wanted a puppy to grow up with our daughter. We figured she would be a perfect playmate because she is a Beagle mix, and wasn’t supposed to get very big. Well it quickly became apparent that whatever she is mixed with was much bigger than a Beagle! We are pretty sure, her other half must be a Lab since she looks more like a Lab than a Beagle.

One thing is for sure, my husband and I both forgot how hard it is to raise a puppy. I seriously think it is harder than raising a baby….at least you can put diapers on babies! But we are finally getting past the crazy puppy stage and now we are blessed with a beautiful, sweet dog who loves her family, cats and all, so very much.

So Happy Birthday to my Abby Punkins’ as we like to call her!

Around 5 weeks old:

Caught her yawning!

 

Here’s a picture that the talented pet photographer Melissa Palomo of Melissa Palomo Photography took of her when she was about 12 weeks old:

And here she is now, all grown up!
