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 fell in love with crawfish way before my man!  I love to eat!  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!

I can honestly say that I am right in the midst of my “long-awaited” dream and loving every minute of it!  There...

Tell me it isn’t true!

Summer has come and gone. Today was the last day of summer for us all. No more running in the yard barefoot, or playing in the sprinkler….it’s really gone. How do I know this? Well, because it SNOWED today!
Time to dust off those snow boots and grab a cute hat, because it’s Fall!...

Mount Rushmore

Labor Day weekend we decided to finally make the 7 hour trip to South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore. Peyton has been asking to go for over a year. As you can see, all she wanted to do was stick her finger up George’s nose.
We had a great trip. ...

Home Sweet Home!

I’m back home and back to reality. Our 8 day vacation was better than we could have imagined. We had such a great time and the kids first experience at the ocean was fantastic!
I came home to a calendar overload. Immediate orthodontist appointments…turning expanders and retainers, birthday planning for my son,...

Head em’ up, Move em’ out…

…is what my dad always said to get us out the door. I’m so ready for those same words to cross my lips tomorrow morning at 4am. We’ll be on our way to sunny Florida for a week of soaking up some sun! We’ll be leaving bright and early tomorrow morning, driving all the way...

Day Dreaming

Lately, I’ve been finding myself day dreaming about my June trip to Grand Rapids, Michigan. I am anxiously awaiting my first ever photography workshop (put on by Amy Wenzel)….really, my first ever “business trip” if you will. I know, I’m a dork. But seriously, I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for over 8...

Learning patience…..

Patience is a virtue, isn’t that what they say. Well, I’m lacking in that category. I’m the one that needs things to happen yesterday….always have been. Right now, I’m trying to patiently wait on my lens to come in. It is stuck in Illinois somewhere and hasn’t moved for almost 24...
