Ruby Chang Oct 2023 STAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARP I am in AWE. They did an amazing job and were so reassuring during the whole process! They helped me decide what poses were best for me, and helped me include my family in my pictures as well! I feel so happy leaving this place knowing I have memories captured so I can look back on it. It was all worth it and I would definitely do it again if I could!

Jennifer Janusz Oct 2023 STAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARP I had an amazing experience at CADY Fort Myers, seeing by brother take his senior pics. Liz Leon truly made the day much more memorable she was so kind and accomodating. She walked me through each step of the process and me use the steamer so that my brother's outfit was not wrinkled. She double checked a credit card I had on my account and truly treated us as you would a guest in your own home. I highly recommend CADY and the care they take to choose an amazing staff. Jess Stella Oct 2023 STAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARP Had my son's senior portraits. Latasha up at the front desk was so welcoming and accommodating. Our photographers Arlyn and Jack were super fun and listened to our requests. Thanks a bunch! Yahiris Garcia Oct 2023 STAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARP I loved the CADY studio! Everyone was super friendly. Thomas, our photographer, is very professional and knowledgeable in the field of photography. The receptionist, Liz, was very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend CADY Fort Myers!

Chantel was great! She took the time to capture every moment for my daugther, who enjoyed both indoor and outdoor.
Had such a great experience! Everyone was nice and helpful. Definitely brought out the best version of you. Thank you, Jamie, for the hair and makeup. Had a great conversation in the meanwhile. Liv, thank you for having patience LOL. She was a great help and made things so sweet and easy to accomplish.
