Hi, I’m Cody - a photographer proudly based in Frederick, MD. I’m passionate about collaborating with like-minded people and organizations who value equity, honesty, and selflessness to create meaningful and impactful images.
With over nine years of experience working with professional soccer clients across the U.S., I’m excited to bring that expertise home and give back to the community I love. I offer commercial and event photography services in the Frederick area, crafting intentional, value-driven imagery that captures your moments in the best light.
Need video, social media, or website support, too? I proudly partner with other talented Frederick creatives to scale with you—ensuring your needs are met while maximizing value.
I have spent over 30 years immersed in the creative worlds of the performing arts, radio, and television. Growing up with film cameras and some of the earliest digital models, my passion for visual storytelling has been lifelong.
My journey in the performing arts began at age nine on the musical theatre stage, and by 13, I was climbing lighting grids as a dedicated techie. From community theatre to becoming a member of Actors' Equity and back again, I have worn many hats; actor, singer, director, producer, technical director, scenic and lighting designer. The performing arts have always been at the heart of my creative endeavors.
My eye and focus as a photographer has been shaped through the lens of theater, and the need to capture powerful moments of conflict and connection to convey story in a single image.
Theater has limited light, no opportunity for flash, and is fast paced. Due to this, I have honed a ‘photojournalistic’ aesthetic. You can see this from my work documenting performances in theater, concerts, and dance work.
Meech Creative, LLC was founded out of my deep love for the arts, offering professional photography, videography, production, and consulting services. I specialize in headshots and branding content for actors & dancers, while also photographing theatrical productions, creative portraits, and special events. Performing arts organizations and dance studios are among my key clients.
I am committed to creating a SAFE and inclusive space where all are welcome.
Having reviewed countless actor headshots as a director and member of a shows creative team, I understand what works and what doesn’t. An actor’s headshot is not just a portrait, glamour shot, or modeling image, it is a professional representation of who you are right now. Your headshot should reflect your authentic self, as you would appear on your best average day in front of a casting team.
Let’s connect and create something incredible together!
