My daughter Kailyn had her senior photo session last Saturday and the experience was fantastic! She is very quiet and does NOT like to have her pictures taken or be the "center of attention" so this was totally out of her comfort zone and could've been a total disaster. Thanks to her two AMAZING photographers, Thomas and Cydney , she actually had a great time! They made her feel comfortable and got some beautiful photos that showcase her personality.
Thank you Thomas , Cydney , and CADY Studios for a fabulous experience!

What an amazing experience! CJ (Cornelius) was our photographer for the day since we booked the Elite package. He took the absolute most amazing pictures. Nikea (I'm sorry for spelling that very wrong probably) did an amzing job on my daughter's hair and make-up. What an amazing staff and experience. CJ , you killed!!! Thank you so much! To the person who complained about time, these people are perfectionists, let them take their time. They all deserve 10 stars!

Had a very nice photo session, I would like to thank Thomas and Jack for their nice work and making us feel comfortable.
Get your photos done here! Had my senior photos done and I did not know what to expect, but Chantel and Cole made it the best experience ever. They were professional but still friendly and really helped me look my best in all my pictures.
Will definitely be getting pictures taken here in the future!
Jayden was absolutely amazing all around. She was cheerful and made me feel confident and they all made sure we were comfortable. Jayden and CJ and the other photographer (I didn't catch her name, she had very fluffy and curly hair) were absolutely hilarious. Absolutely amazing time with all 3.

Letter from the Leaders
Hey CADY Team!
I just wanted to share some words of encouragement with everyone, as well as praise all of you for all the amazing work everyone has done thus far! Not only have we brainstormed and grown closer to one another to elevate our studio, we have also gotten some outstanding reviews since starting this season! All I can say is WOW! With using the 3.5.7. and pushing to bring out the best of everyone we come across, we can continue to grow as much as we have already!
Since opening this new studio we’ve come across trials and tribulations but nothing we haven't been able to overcome. That's all thanks to our team including our new members of the CADY family! You are all an important part of what we do here at CADY. Pushing for reviews, getting our more sheltered students to come out of their shell and laugh, to even making our parents enjoy a wonderful time with us!
A big thank you to all of you!
Sincerely,
Eliar Garcia

CJ is a living proof of creating a meaningful connection with everyone he comes across and shares his talent with. From Traditional sessions to Elite sessions, from students to parents and peers, we all have experienced the CJ experience! Having parents specifically request him by name, either doing their current sessions (Traditional/MP) or any rescheduled sessions especially Elites! This truly shows the impact and connection he has built with both parents and students. If the reviews left aren’t enough to showcase his bonds created, the amazing commentary mentioned about CJ during presentations back up the proof furthermore!
Chandler is the definition of “Small details are HUGE”! Small details are her hyperfocus, as well as expanding the creativity we use to showcase CADY. “The basic and boring: Helvetica'' are words she uses when working on new projects and getting our team's creative process running. To Chandler every detail has the potential to be elevated and this perfectly encapsulates her detail oriented personality. She highly invested time into her team and their work to make sure everyone is on the same playing field and setting a successful studio day. We are truly glad and grateful to have someone like Chandler on our team!
Latasha’s “Premier Experience” is one that never goes unnoticed. She is the first to interact with both students and parents and actively bestows a warm welcome! Latasha does her utmost best to accommodate and fulfill a beautiful experience for them, including our team itself. She is always on the lookout for any opportunities to elevate the CADY experience and has a keen eye to assure our parents and students at no time are unattended.
Latasha is a magnificent addition to our team we truly cherish!

Image Processing Spotlight
Our Image Processors are the unsung heroes of the studio, ensuring only the best of the best images make it to our customer. This spotlight features some of their favorite images from the quarter and why they love them.
Not only is it a nice photo of a saxophone player, but one done on Exposure. A scene only meant for closeups, making it a tight space to work with for more dynamic photos. Great job.
A very natural looking photo for exposure.

Well done baseball candid. Great work capturing the subject. The empty background adds a lot more impact to the pitcher’s windup.
