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

Shannen {Senior Session}

I had a great time at this session.  Shannen is a big fan of the movies, so we took advantage of a cool new theater in town that had some cool locations.  I loved all the colors and the light.  I’m obsessed with light lately.  I use to go to sessions thinking an overcast day...

Maddie {Baby’s 1st Year ~ 6 months}

How sweet is this little girl?  And her big sister…..OMG!  They are both so adorable and so comfortable in front of the camera.  I just love this whole family!   I can hardly believe Maddie is almost a year old.  It seems like just the other day she was in her Momma’s belly and we...

Project 52 {4/52} “Soothing Repetition”

Here’s a pic of my little man practicing writing his name!  I don’t know how soothing it is for him, but he doesn’t seem to mind the repetition.  He is doing such a great job in Kindergarten this year.  I’m so proud!

This week’s challenge was harder than I thought it would be.  I ended up not really coming up with a “Shades of Gray” picture idea.  I did however come up with a picture from this week. 
My oldest was in her very first ever Spelling Bee this week.  She has been studying for weeks and was...

Post Christmas goodness

We had a great Christmas this year!  My family came into town and we had a great time playing games, talking, going to the movies and just enjoying each other’s company.  The kids woke up to tons of goodies under the tree.  Our oldest got a guitar and has been spending a lot of her...
