Capturing Life in the Land of Enchantment

I create portrait and editorial photography for artists, entrepreneurs, and creatives throughout Taos, Santa Fe, and Northern New Mexico. Working on-location across the high desert, I specialize in images that feel intentional and authentic—whether for publications, branding, or personal projects that deserve more than standard headshots.

About

I'm Cody, a portrait and editorial photographer based in the high desert of Northern New Mexico. I specialize in on-location sessions that capture authentic moments against Taos's stunning landscape—from the sagebrush plains to the Sangre de Cristo mountains.

My approach is intentional but relaxed. I come from a visual design background, so I think carefully about composition and light, but the goal is always to make you feel comfortable and let genuine moments unfold naturally.

I also undertake commissions and assignments for advertising and editorial clients. Recent clients include Native Hoop Magazine, Intrepid Times, and The Sun Magazine.

Available for sessions throughout Taos, Santa Fe, and the broader Four Corners region.
