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 the privilege of taking pictures of Kelsey and John in downtown Portland last weekend. The weather was amazing and we received encouragement from onlookers. On woman coaxed, “Kiss her like you mean it!” John did! He was more than happy to kiss Kelsey over and over the entire session. I think kissing was their favorite thing to do and they do it well, I must say!
