About
Hi, We are Cody and Heather! (Cody) Primarily known for my outdoor portraiture, lifestyle and commercial work, I fell in love with chasing light and capturing moments in lesser seen ways. Creating art that conveys emotion and a story is the focus of my practice. I use my knowledge of natural light and composition to create images that truly capture the essence of the subject at hand (Heather) Focuses on the softer side of images. My background comes from the analog world and magic of film photography. I love capturing my clients in their natural environment and try and blend them and the gorgeous scenery San Diego has to offer into one beautiful scene. I enjoy candid shots to make my clients feel and look as natural and comfortable as possible. I am also a mother and I love family and child sessions the most, I know how special photos of your family can be and I want to make those memories last a lifetime <3 Both Heather and Cody have many combined years experience in the field, both with the technical side and customer service. Together we are a well rounded creative force that can frame and develop the custom mood and element you are looking for. We strive to push ourselves and our creative abilities with each project we take on; to give an end result that both you and us will be proud to share with the world. If we are not out doing client work, you’ll probably find us surfing our favorite waves around Southern California and O’ahu, cooking food at home, or exploring whatever wilderness we find ourselves in

I've received excellent communication with the photgrapher and I'm looking forward to meeting them for my upcoming photo shoot.

Working with Cody was really more than professional. Everything from the start to the end was perfect. I had a surprise engagement shoot which Cody took time to FaceTime call about how it will all go down. He went above and beyond and surpassed all expectations. After seeing the final product I was more than happy. I would highly recommend Cody to anyone. Genuinely an amazing human to have a photo shoot with

Cody was excellent. He always responded to my emails and text in a timely manner. He was early and ready to go on the day of the shoot. Cody had great photo ideas for our large group of 13 and took his time. He said the photos would ready in 2 to 3 weeks and we received them with in 6 days. I highly recommend him.

Cody was great to work with. I hired him for a family photo shoot. It was grandparents, aunts, uncles, and grandkids. He was patient, easy going, and very professional with our large and crazy crew :)

I had an incredible experience working with Cody at Ebb & Flow Media! From the start, his attention to detail and professionalism stood out. He met with me the day before the shoot at Windansea Beach to walk through the surprise engagement, plan the timing, and even figure out exactly where he should hide to capture the moment perfectly without being seen. That level of care and preparation made all the difference! Ebb & Flow Media is newer to Thumbtack, so don’t let the Thumbtack portfolio and number of ratings fool you—they have a much larger portfolio that truly showcases their talent and eye for photography. The final photos were absolutely stunning and beautifully captured the emotion of the day. I cannot recommend Cody and Ebb & Flow Media enough. If you’re planning a surprise proposal or just want someone who genuinely cares about getting it right, Cody at Ebb & Flow Media should be your photographer! Book now!
