Missy Cochran Oregon Photographer bio picture

This is Me

Hi there! I am Missy Cochran and I love photography, I fact, you could say that I am obsessive. It all started when I got married and had my wonderfully awesome grandpa take my pictures. He was a professional photographer and I thought all photographers were the same. After the wedding, I got the pictures back and they were all very traditional. Not grandpa’s fault, but mine for not knowing what I wanted. Anyway, I realized too late that I had actually wanted something different than what I got. Since my wedding is all over, I now get to live vicariously through my awesome couples. Other stuff about me is that I make a goal every three months to run regularly, but haven’t yet quite found my mojo. I think I like the idea of being a runner but maybe I am not really one at heart! I love sweets and I love my church and doing things that add joy to my life.

Chiellcie, the Photographer

This is my friend Chiellcie who is visiting from SD, who is also a photographer.  I wanted to get some fun shots for her with a camera and also something magical to cature the brilliant blue of her eyes.  Here’s what we got!

My Sister, Jessica

Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day and the huge 52 inch reflector that I just ordered came in the mail.  I also have a photographer friend visiting from SD, so what do you we do?  A photoshoot!  My sister was happy to be the subject and wore her green dress that has never been worn.  It was a really fun shoot!

Ryan and Jen Wedding Pics

Here are some of my favs from our New Year’s Eve Wedding.  The last pic of Jen and Ryan kissing is their Happy New Year kiss.  Perhaps some of you remember the bright splash of sunshine we got on New Years, to me it was a sign of great things to come for this happy couple.  Ryan and Jen, CONGRATS!

So, my old blog couldn’t handle large images and I want you to enjoy the impact of Artisan, so here goes!  I am really sad to leave the map of the world which tells me where people click, but maybe I can transfer it over.  Here are some amazing pics from an amazing engagement session with Dan and Adele, you guys rocked the house!
