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.

The San Francisco Workshop

Here are some of images I got from the “Film is not Dead” workshop I went to in July down in San Francisco!!!  I am so excited about film and how these have turned out that I have restructured my pricing to be able to incorporate a lot more film into all of my sessions both wedding and Portrait.  Here are some of the pictures and I have a lot more posted at my other blog: http://learnfilmwithme.blogspot.com  These are all straight out of the camera with 0.00% photoshop!!

More from the Nines Hotel,

Something Different

Photobucket

Taken at the Nines Hotel. In the lobby of the 8th floor, there is this really cool and colorful tool hanging in panels from the ceiling. I shot through to tool which gave the images a really ethereal color cast! None of these photographs are photoshoped, they are all three straight from the camera!
