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

We had such a great time during this session.  It was pretty much impossible to take a...

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...

Samantha {Senior Session}

I love it when my Seniors are just as excited as I am about their session.  I just met Sam this week and it has been so much fun getting to know her and figuring out just what kind of session she wanted.  We went out this past week and captured some great shots in...

Maren {Senior Session}

Have a mentioned how much I LOVE senior sessions?  Well, I do!  They have quickly become my favorite.  This session was no different.  We met up in a cool downtown location with tons and tons of possibilities.  I really love an urban look when you have the right clothes and feel.

Jonathan {Senior Session}

There is something to be said of the vast differences of shooting a female Senior session versus a male Senior session.  Guys are just easy.  I enjoyed tonight’s shoot with Jonathan and getting to know him.  What a good kid!  Parents, you should be proud!  Here is a little sneak peek into the session.  I hope...

 Audrey, you’re adorable and...

Susana {Senior Session}

I don’t have to tell you if I had to dodge the rain tonight.  It has become my M.O. for photo sessions.  We managed to work around it though. 
Meet gorgeous Susana!  She kept saying she was nervous, and that she was not photogenic……um…I beg to differ.  Susana, you’re beautiful!  I enjoyed this session so much,...
