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

“M” Family……….{Southern Shoot}

Take a look at this gorgeous family!  Mom and I are good friends from high school and we also were roomies in college up until Jimmy and I got married.  I was so excited when she contacted me about doing a session with her family.  We were both coming into Shreveport, LA  from opposite sides...

Colorado Reception {Mike & Erin}……..Denver area Event photographer

I’ve known Mike for a few years now.  I used to work along side him on staff at our church, and now he is my Pastor.    Words cannot describe the man that Mike is.  He is so kind and caring.  He’s just an all around good guy! 
Erin came into his life not too...

15 month old boy + open field = DISTRACTED

I LOVE this family!  They always are up for all my crazy ideas and locations.  After this session I made a mental note. 
NO MORE OPEN FIELDS FOR 15 MONTH OLDS! 
Here are a few of my favorites from the session.  Enjoy!

It’s a GIRL!!!

When my friends decided to do a shoot for their 15th month old this past weekend, I had an idea.  See, they are expecting another sweet little one and they were scheduled to find out the sex of the baby early this week.  I wanted to create a picture that would reveal the gender to all...

{ 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...

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 much-anticipated postponed/rescheduled event!
I met...

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...

I had such a fun time at this shoot. We managed to avoid any rain that may have been lurking around the corner and got some great shots! Aren’t their girls the cutest! Little Miss “E” gave me a run for my money. I’m not sure she ever stopped moving…unless it...
