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.

We were so blessed to have sun yesterday! These pics wouldn’t been so cool without the sun. I drove around downtown hillsboro to see if I could find some cool stuff and I sure did. Isn’t Angelique a sweet model?
This is one of my favorites
Super cute smile!
Another travel session, can you believe these pictures were taken at her home in Washington? Biance lives on a farm and her mom kept making disclaimers about it’s appearance. I assured her it was perfect and it was! The field was across the street from her house and the old barn was in the field. Everything was just perfect.
I always love it when I get to travel for a session because there are always new fun things to try. I got to go to Daniells apple orchard home in Hood River last week and the weather was beautiful! Here are some of my favorite images.
This was just a session I did for fun. I wanted to try out some new ideas including a session with a rainy day theme and friends hangin out. I found come really cool foliage near Rood Bridge Park as a bonus.
I just wanted to try out taking some pictures at this really cool apple tree by my house. Mel donated her kids, my nephews, and Juliana, my sister opted to be a part of this outdoor extravaganza. My brother, Marshal, and Mel, and I all took part in this session, so our pictures are all jumbled together.
This next little sequence is what happens when you give a toddler candy, sure it’s cute at first…
If you look on the blogroll, you will see a brand spankin new link called the “Modeling Ideas Blog” I just made this blog because this winter, I want to do a lot of modeling photo shoots. I have some many ideas I want to try out and I would like to be shooting two sessions a week during my slow season. I want to let anyone here check it out and see if there are any ideas on there you could get excited about. All modeling participants get a free session and two free 8×10s which is a $240 value. If you want to submit yourself as a model, there are instructions on the blog if you read “About This Blog.” I will be adding to the new blog regularly, so check back often
