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

Mr. Olympian

My nephew had his very first Preschool Special Olympics this week!  I definitely didn’t want to miss it, so I packed up my camera and the only kid I have that is out of school at the moment, and headed across town. 

It was such fun watching him do all the courses, not too mention, dominate the field.  His Mom and I were so proud.  To think back at that moment, over 3 years ago, when he came into the world with so much struggle and gave us all a scare, to this moment…..what a miracle!  There were so many moments when I had to fight back the tears.  I can’t (along with everyone that has laid eyes on this precious boy) imagine life without him!  He has taught us all so much.  Today I saw an Olympian!  A true fighter…..never quitting.   Our little fair-haired soldier! 

Finley, you are my HERO!!!  I love you so much…..Aunt Lissa!
