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

Testimonials

“You captured the joy of Mike & Erin’s Colorado wedding reception; putting everyone immediately at ease. This is no small feat: we have a long family heritage of awkward self-consciousness. You successfully recorded the sweetest moments and everyone’s best self on film! Melissa, you’ve truly got a rare gift & honed skills. Thanks for sharing that with us. I recommend your work to anyone who needs a great professional photographer. I tell them about the generous heart & keen eye behind your camera lens! You’re the best.” ——– Ruthanne W.
“Melissa did an awesome job with my twin daughter’s senior pictures.  She scouted out the perfect setting and made it so much fun for the girls (and Marley, their pooch)!  Melissa’s so gifted with the camera and the pictures were beautiful (and affordable!)  She was able to capture each girl’s personality and beauty, without making them look like the same old senior pictures you see so often.  We will cherish these photos forever.  We feel so fortunate to have found Melissa just in time to make senior pictures so special.” ——— Deb D.
“Melissa is so great to work with! We have done two photo shoots with her and they went so smoothly. She is laid back and fun! Our pictures turned out great!” ———Mark and Lisa Y.

“I am the fortunate mother of Mara Kennan, one of Melissa’s chosen Senior Reps.  I had so much fun going on the shoot with her and Melissa for her senior photos.  Melissa is such a joy to be around, professional and fun at the same time.  I loved watching her with Mara and her creative eye for the various photo scenes.  Most of all, I LOVE the pictures of Mara ~ so beautifully done and a memory to cherish as well as share.” —–Jeanie H.

“Melissa has done multiple photo shoots for my family and really has an exceptional way of creating a fun environment for my kids. Coupled with her eye for capturing moments that define my kids personalities, she has produced some photographic treasures for my family.” ——– John T.

“Words could never express how pleased I was with my daughter’s Sr. pictures. Melissa did a fantastic job! We had chosen a location and she was able to put together some awesome shots. She even gave the shoes off her own feet to help with a few pictures. We had a blast. And as a mother who was about to see her baby girl move off to college, the memories of that day and those pictures were priceless!” ——— Tracy R.
