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 fell in love with crawfish way before my man!  I love to eat!  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!

{ A Family }

This was such a fun session! I was at home in Louisiana for the Thanksgiving holidays and I was able to schedule a shoot with an old friend. She and I were teammates on my highschool softball team. It had been FOREVER since we had seen each other, so it was so great getting to...

Look who is ONE!

I have no idea where the year went, but it sure went by fast! I can’t believe this little man is ONE! He’s already walking…fast! Mom and Dad certainly have their hands full. I have so enjoyed watching this little guy grow up this year. He was my very first...

Finally!…..a little cooperation!

Why is is so hard to get your own kids to cooperate for pictures? I went out a month ago and took my annual pics of my kids + my nephews and got great shots….well, great shots of most of them I should say. My son….he didn’t cooperate that day. So, today...

Details, details, details!

Details are crucial…at least in my world! I have just a strong a passion for the detail of my work as I do my photography itself. I truly believe that how you present your work to your client is just as important as your images. I believe and treat each one...

Fresh and New

I’m sorry it has been so long since my last posting. I’ve taken a few weeks to do some re-evaluating and revamping. After I returned from Amy Wenzel’s fabulous workshop back in September I had so much going on in my head. It has taken me some time to get some things on paper, order...

Amy Wenzel is AMAZING!!!

Wow! What an amazing weekend I had at Amy Wenzel’s Photography Workshop! I don’t even know where to start. I traveled to Michigan earlier in the summer to attend the workshop, but as you know, her husband was diagnosed with a Brain tumor the very evening we arrived. This was the...

Tell me it isn’t true!

Summer has come and gone. Today was the last day of summer for us all. No more running in the yard barefoot, or playing in the sprinkler….it’s really gone. How do I know this? Well, because it SNOWED today!
Time to dust off those snow boots and grab a cute hat, because it’s Fall!...

9 months? Already?

Can I just say…this kid gets cuter and cuter everytime I have a session with him. He has been a part of my “Baby’s 1st Year” collection and I can’t believe the year is almost up. Where did the time go? I’m sure that is what Mom and Dad are thinking too.
We had such a...
