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.

I had a really fun kids shoot this morning and promised myself I wouldn’t obsess over these pictures. I thought I would burst trying to get my work done today so I could work on these. They are so fun and full of little personalities! Just a few of my favorites, enjoy

These are just a few of my favs from last night’s engagement session with Handoyo and Ervelyn. We met up at 6 and got a ton of variety in the down twon Pearl District. After a few hours, we took a break and my assistant and I were treated to dinner at Henry’s Tavern! It was delicious! (Thanks again!) We hopped on the max to go to the waterfront for a few more night pictures and called it a night. Also this first images has the coolest wall backgroud we discovered while exploring!

Trevor and Kaelah Wedding

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 Posted in Wedding, personal

It was really neat to be able to shoot a wedding for family. Trevor is my husband’s brother who got married this weekend on his grandparents farm.

Kaelah’s Vogue look

Kaelah’s cousin, Becca, did an amazing job on her hair including an added hair piece that was EXACTLY the color of Kaelah’s hair. So beautiful!

I love the thumbs up!!

Mason latched on two these two, the only bridesmaids that were single. He was with them most of the day including patiently waiting outside the girls dressing room until they were ready. The boy is smart!
