About
Thanks for stopping by! Undoubtedly, you’ve found yourself here to learn a bit about who you are considering to capture your special moment(s) and to see if I would be a good fit.
A little about me:
My name is Cody, and I was born and raised in Waukesha County. After high school, I went to college at UW-Stevens Point, where I majored in Wildlife Management and Biology. Needless to say, I have a love for the outdoors. Being an avid outdoorsman, who hunts, fishes, and loves nature, I often found myself wanting to share my experiences with friends and family. What better way than photographs?! I started with a few point and shoot style cameras, as they were pretty advanced technology at the time (yes, I grew up with T-9 texting and without social media lol). As technology improved, I upgraded my equipment when I was financially able. Fast forward several years… I was deployed in the Middle East from 2018-2019. It was a long time to spend away from home, but the experiences and friendships I made will last a lifetime. I had one regret though.. I barely had any pictures! Looking back, I would have loved to capture the raw moments that I shared with everyone, as well as the fun (yes, there was fun) that we had as well.
When I finally returned home, I got to meet my daughter, and she is now my best friend and partner in crime. Everyone says that time flies, but I could not really appreciate that until I became a father. It’s unbelievable how quickly kids grow up. This led me to really invest in my ability to document our experiences, so I can share them with her when she is older. I upgraded my equipment to the state-of-the-art mirrorless Sony cameras, and spent…, well we won’t talk about that as my wife may find her way to this page, haha. My friends and family saw my work and my ever-evolving skills and, well, one thing led to the other, and I created this business.
There are other photographer’s stories, where they left their job to pursue photography full time. I haven’t gotten there.. yet. I still work my full-time job, but due to my schedule, I have ample time to devote to my hobby-turned-business. That being said, I am not looking to get rich or to maximize a commission on an event, but to capture timeless moments that you will cherish forever. I settle for nothing less than the best for my family and me, and that is my promise to you. I will listen to your needs, wishes, and dreams and will stop at nothing short of providing you an excellent investment. An investment you say? Absolutely! Looking back at my wedding, after getting home from deployment, I was everywhere and nowhere all at once. Time sure didn’t fly like that when I was away from home for 11 months! We had the time of our lives and, well I may be biased, the best wedding ever! Waking up the next morning, and the following morning, in a fog, my wife and I tried to recollect the happenings and shenanigans that took place. Luckily for us, she talked us into an outstanding photographer. When the photos came back, it was as if we could relive the night over and over again. Friends, family, and FUN! captured for a lifetime. So enjoy your night with your family and friends and trust me to capture every moment.
Thank you for giving me an opportunity to tell you about myself, and I look forward to learning how I can capture your moments!
