Client Words. Real Connection.
Each session is more than just a shoot - it's a creative collaboration built on trust, intention, and expression. These words from past clients mean the world to me, and I'm honored to share them with you. Here's what they had to say about their experience.
“I definitely admire Cody's dedication to perfect his craft while 100% considering the desires of the model. I will definitely shoot with him more in the future... hopefully try a soft glam angelic look and also an editorially dynamic styled shoot! I fully believe in Cody's creative range and expertise to elevate and enhance my portfolio!”

“I am not in any means a model or close to one and not used to being in front of the camera, so I was nervous going into it. But once we started shooting, Cody made sure I was comfortable and we were playing music that made me feel more comfortable. Nothing was ever awkward or forced. Cody has a way of making you feel at home in your own skin.”

"After just three photo sessions with Cody, I amassed a collection of high-quality images that enriched my modeling portfolio. Upon submitting these images to modeling agencies, I swiftly secured representation and signed with Helen Wells Agency. My expectations were met and he is very professional!
