We decided to come to CADY to have our son's photos taken, and our experience has been excellent. Many thanks, especially to our photographer Clayton!
Both Sean and Keagan were great! They made my senior comfortable and confident throughout the session. They included us, parents, along the whole process and were just the sweetest ever! Thank you for a great experience!

CADY ROCKS and did a wonderful job for my students at CHS. William Turner was very professional and patient with the students' questions, as well as mine. The entire CADY team made the process smooth and easy and worked my students in when I had messed up the sign-up! Thank you William and that you CADY team!
