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.

Katy’s Senior Pictures in downtown Portland

What a pair we made in downtown Portland Oregon this afternoon!  Of course there is me carrying my bag of camera gear and Katy’s backpack of clothes getting my workout of the day and then there is Katy having to fight off people staring from their cars because she was looking amazing!  A big thanks to the local Portland restaurants that let us use their restrooms as clothes changing pit stops!  This photo session had such a spontaneous feel because we just walked around together chatting and then there would be a moments and Katy would look amazing because the light was hitting her just right so we would stop and take some pictures.  What a fun time we had!  Also a huge thanks to Katy for tapping into her mad modeling skills!!
