My daughter and I had the pleasure of working with the AMAZING Mrs. Taylor (photographer) and received "The Taylor Experience· here at CADY studios. This experience was beyond imaginable and she brought out the best in my daughter to capture her unique and sassy personality. There were other students taking photos as well but the attention Taylor provided to my daughter made it seem as if she was the only one in the building hitting the runway! Highly recommend this establishment and Taylor for your senior photos.

Angel and Matt were awesome!

My hair looked great and they were so friendly, Matt is super talented.

Heather Tetterton Oct. 2023 STAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARP We had an amazing experience at Cady. Especially with photographer, Scoot. Scoot took time with our senior and our dogs. She definitely added a personal touch with the entire experience by including my husband and me in some of the photos. My senior's grandparents also came to the photo shoot and were included in the pictures.

Definitely will recommend. ♥ Meaningful Connection

Letter from the Leaders Hi Everyone!

This has been an amazing season so far for the Raleigh team and I am proud to see how much the photographers have grown since opening day. For many of us, this is our first opportunity to work as a professional studio and to contribute to such a big legacy such as CADY and I can confidently say that we have come into our roles nicely. From our timid beginnings to confident professionals, we have mastered our workflow from taking pictures of students in the studio to bringing that professionalism and talent out into the schools for events. In our humble beginnings, learning CADY standards and using it as a guideline to excel was a challenge however photographers and IP have worked closely together to guarantee that, while upholding company standards, we ensure the photographer's creative spirit is evident in each image. During this growth, many of our photographers have worked to guarantee they connect with students to ensure that they produce gorgeous images that each respective student can see themselves in. In our busiest months, we faced many adversaries, long days, complex schedules and busy hours. However, one of the things that makes our team so special is that we are resilient and we make miracles happen. Those miracles wouldn’t happen if we didn't rely on each other and the strong comradery we have built together is unique. The care we have for the work we do is evident when we work to make a student smile, pack the van together, come together to get a creative shot, pick up work, laugh together, give a warm welcome to new photographers and in so many more ways.

Thank you everyone for showing up and showing out, for being heroes and continuing to work to make CADY Raleigh a miracle team!

Best,

ARROW-UP-LEFT Posing With a Purpose

This image is one of many strong images from this elite session.

ARROW-UP-LEFT Great Lighting & Natural Posing The nature of the bokeh and how the foliage frames the student, as well as the extension of the hair dress filling the image and leading back to the student, are all very strong compositional features in this outdoor shot.

The photographer really kept composition in mind when centering the marching band student in this image.

The image is very crisp and aesthetic pleasing from the delicate raindrops scattered 13 throughout the imagel
