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

A little bit of flare

I’m in love with flare at the moment.  I am in awe of so many photographers who can capture this stunning flare in their images.  How do they do this?  I haven’t figured it all out yet, but I’m trying.  I try everytime I have a camera in my hand….i’ll eventually get it.  At least I hope so.  Here is a pic I took of my Emily the other day.  It was about 5pm and the sun was still fairly high (still getting used to DST).  Anyway, it’s not perfect, but I’m getting close.  I have two shoots next week, so I’ll experiment some more with those sessions.  I’m determined to get this flare thing down!  Anyone have any thoughts on how to get beautiful flare in their pictures?  I’m all ears!
