Hey! My name is Saydie Cochran. I am a lifestyle photographer based in Austin, TX, but I’m willing to go anywhere in the USA that the Lord takes me. Some of my favorite places to travel are Utah and Colorado—I love a good outdoor adventure shoot! I will gladly hike up a snow-covered mountain for you!

I’m 23 years old and graduated from Texas A&M in 2024. Just a month after graduation, I married the love of my life, David. He is the reason I’m even able to pursue my photography dreams, so thank you, Lord, for David!

You can probably tell that I have a heart for the great outdoors. I grew up taking road trips with my dad from California to Texas, which is probably why I prefer road trips over flying—I love making the journey part of the adventure! In the winter, my absolute favorite activity (and dream pro sport) is snowboarding. If I could go pro, I would—I love it that much. In the summer, I love a day at the beach or lake, especially if paddleboarding is involved. And if you give me a campfire in the mountains with s’mores on a summer night, I am the happiest girl in the world. It really doesn’t take much to please me.

My goal as a photographer is to make my clients feel as comfortable as possible and to ensure they have fun during their shoot. No stiff, awkward poses—just be who God made you to be and enjoy the moment!

And most importantly, I love the Lord! Jesus saved my life, and I love sharing that good news with everyone. I want you to know that Jesus loves you, too! He died and rose again three days later, conquering death, so that we could have life in Him. He is the source of all my creativity, achievements, strength, peace, love, and joy—and I pray He can be the same (and more) for you!

Here to make your vision come alive with a servant-heart.

My motto: Seeking God in everything, everywhere

It is my goal to bring God into all that I do. Every interaction, every moment, and every decision I make as a photographer—I want it to be clear that God is at the center of it ALL. As a photographer, I want to capture all the authentic and life-giving moments that we experience. There is so much to this life, but the most important thing is HIM.
