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

Party planning

I had a great weekend! Lots of fun, family time. I played my last softball game of the season this past saturday. I always love getting out on the field and getting dirty. My need to get dirty got me in a bit of trouble this time. Apparently, my slide into second base produced an ugly strawberry on my leg, that later got infected. I’m now on antibiotic for my aggressive base running. Oh well! LOL!

I have received lots of great comments on my website and blog. Thanks to all of you for your encouragement and sweet words! I am having a lot of fun planning shoots, scouting locations, and buying props.

My daughter is having her 8th birthday in October. She is a big American Girl, Kit Kittredge fan. She likes Kit because she thinks she looks like her, and because she is also an aspiring writer. So cute! Anyway, I bought her a Kit oufit from the American Girls website and it was delivered this week. Today we had a special photo shoot with her in her new outfit. The plan was to get a great picture to use for the party invitations. I think I got some good ones. She is so excited!

Bill used to have all sorts of medium- and large-format cameras, which he sold in the last couple of years. He also used to use a high-dollar light kit to photograph his stuff for ebay. Now he builds props for our friend that's a photographer in town. Just last week he made an old picket fence. Too bad we're so far away!

Anyway, your photos and your websites are awesome.
