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.

Yesterday in downtown Portland, we shot through overcast skies and into blossom filled trees. The setting was beautiful and right as the sun was going down, it peaked through the clouds and we were able to play with some backlighting effects. I LOVE this wall because it is the color of suset and with the light bouncing off of it, the wall felt really warm and lovely. Wah and Tina also Treated my assistant (Rebecca) and I to dinner as we waited for it to get dark before the signature MAX shot. We really had a great time getting to know you both!
