How we got our name

It all started in 1989 in Home Economics class in high school…

Elise’s assignment was to plan a mock, fantasy wedding (the irony!) to include photos, budgeting, theme, etc. and this was of course the days LONG before Photoshop came along.

Elise did her best piecing together her “fictional” wedding with cut outs from magazines and some magic marking… matching a pretty boys head with a cut out of her own wasn’t easy, thus the result to the left! But “low” and behold, in order to proportion Elise’s head on the models body, she had to add some extra long cleavage. As a joke, Elise captioned the amateur wedding photo as being taken by “Hanging Low Photographers,” but the teacher thought it said “Hanging Cow Photographers” and laughed hysterically while giving Elise and “A” on the project. Elise corrected the teacher and told her it was supposed to originally be LOW not COW, but the teacher thought COW was funnier, so it stuck…!
