Melissa Hatcher Photography – Photo Blog bio picture

Meet Melissa!

Let's see......you want to know about me, huh?

I'm pretty simple.  I've been in love with the same man since I was 16 years old.  He is my best friend and we believe in each other....always have....always will.  We have 3 of the most beautiful children you'll ever lay eyes on!  I'm most comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt (baseball undershirts are my fave!) although I do love getting dressed up for a night out on the town.  Sushi Den, anyone?  I'm a southern girl through and through.  I love crawfish!  Give me a huge slice of chocolate cake with fudge icing and a cold coke and I'm in heaven!  I'm a Daddy's girl.  I love the outdoors and I am more than willing to take part in anything remotely competitive.  I hate to lose even more than I hate clutter.  I am a lover of practical jokes and was taught by the best.  This is why, to this day, I don't answer my Mother's phone calls on April Fool's Day.  I cherish my friends and family.  They are the ones that have made me who I am.  I love the Lord with all my heart.  He is my strength and my joy.  He has blessed me in every way!  Oh, yeah......and did I mention I LOVE photography!  It is my PASSION!

In my bag:  Nikon D700, 85mm f 1.4 and 50mm f 1.8

Backdrop fun

I’m trying to slowly get a studio set-up in my home. I have no idea what I’m doing or exactly what I need. I’m going off what I’ve seen other people do and finding little treasures of information on some of my favorite photographers’ blogs.

So far, I have the stand and 4 rolls of paper for backdrops. I have yet to purchase lighting, reflector kits, or softboxes. Hopefully, in the new future those will come.

In the meantime, I decided to set up my mini studio in my dining room with as much natural light as I could muster. Here are a few pics of a quick 10 minute session with my daughter.

I have actually considered that Jaime's wish might be coming true. Enough so, that I tested it out..and I'm pleased to say that for now, he's just going to have to wait a little longer. ;)
