Documentary family photography

What If I Told You...
That family photos could be natural, relaxed, and legitimately fun? That they could make your husband actually say "hey that wasn't half bad"? That all your hard work in raising these sweet kiddos of yours could finally feel seen, mama?
Hi! I'm Cody. And I am a terrible liar.
That's why I love taking really honest photographs.
Becoming a parent rocked my flippin’ world. It is really hard, and also really incredible. And if you’re anything like me, being a stay-at-home parent often feels like the best and worst job in the world simultaneously. The bottle-washing, the diaper changes, the boo-boo kissing, the crumbs on the floor. It’s exhausting yet blissful. Let me show you the beauty in your daily grind because I promise you– it’s there.
So you can remember exactly how this season of life felt...
There are so many daily moments where your memories are unfolding in slow motion and you just want to freeze time and bottle it all up for later. I can help you preserve those fleeting moments.
Our time together will be easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy. I want to connect with you and your family on a meaningful level and showcase your unique dynamic. I want to know and document exactly what makes you, as a unit, authentic and special.
Simply put-- your daily life is the meat and potatoes. So why not capture it and be able to savor it forever?
"Because the magic is in the mundane."

Investing in your family's memories
In the here and now.
As much as I would love to get paid in chips & queso, I have to charge actual money. My session pricing begins at $325 and clients can choose both digital files and tangible printed artwork (think albums, canvases, prints, etc.). You can choose as little or as much as you’d like, I am not here to upsell you– there’s enough of that everywhere else!
Say Hello!
Are you finally ready to be in the photos, mama? Are you down-to-earth? Do you love to laugh and drink coffee? Do you absolutely love the idea of documenting your imperfectly perfect life just the way it already is, no fluff? If so, I think we could be friends.
