STAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARP When we first got here to take our sons senior pictures we were greeted with the upmost customer service. During our session they came often to check if we needed anything from a drink to a snack.

The photographers knew exactly what they were doing. His pictures came out great. The coloring of the pictures were also great. When we came in for our review of the photos Layton was amazing he made the process smooth and easy for us. We were not forced to buy what we didn’t want and the prices were decent.

Letter from the Leaders Hello, my beautiful Plano Team Members!

As we approach the end of year two my heart is full from the amazing memories and time we have gotten to share together. I look forward to the many stories we will have a hand in sharing next year and all the great things CADY has in store for us.

We have learned so much from this past season. My greatest desire is that we continue to strive for excellence, pay attention to the details, and most of all be helpful. When I think about difficult times ahead, I always think of my favorite Teddy Roosevelt quote; "You often hear people speaking as if life was like striving upward toward a mountain peak. That is not so. Life is as if you were traveling a ridge crest. You have the gulf of inefficiency on one side and the gulf of wickedness on the other, and it helps not to have avoided one gulf if you fall into the other." What this quote means to me is that you can’t have the good without the bad, and while everyone’s journey is different we are all collectively making this adventure along the ridge.

As we finish out the rest of this season I ask that you go above and beyond for team members, clients and anyone else you come in contact with. We are all collectively making this adventure along the ridge and a helping hand is always appreciated.

LOCATION-DOT Studio Lobby

Thank you for being a part of our team!
