Giovanni 10/18/23 STAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARP There this guy called Doug he's a pretty chill guy, he would he hype you up for you to get a smile on every picture but from all the service he did was great. His costumer service was a 5. I recommend him.

Our CADY photoshoot experience was perfect as we enjoyed the session creating memories for our daughters senior year. Jordan is an expert experienced photographer who was able to setup the perfect environment for our daughters interest in type of shoot. She was kind and considered out requests. I highly recommend her as she is knowledgeable about the houston area and captures the moments on film perfectly.
Working with CADY have been a fantastic experience, full of professionalism, respect and lot of fun!!! We were blessed having Jordan as our photographer, and will never forget her extraordinary dedication and hard work on each scene and session... is the best experience we could ever have!!!
Jenae Lott 10/08/23 STAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARP 10/10!!! 5 STARS ACROSS THE BOARD. JORDAN was magnificent!! I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Jordan broke me out of my "I don't like pictures " phase. She's a great person to work with. Very bright minded woman !! holds POWER and you can see the meaning behind her work. Jordan is very dedicated to what she does and she has just as much fun working with a client! I would HIGHLY recommend Jordan to any and everybody looking for a very creative photographer. I will be returning. Thank you guys for blessing me with this amazing experience.
Tiffany Dao 11/07/2023 STAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARP James Owens did an excellent job on my son's senior portraits. He was so professional and the poses looked amazing. We especially appreciated that he is an Eagle Scout, because my son showcased his uniform. He was attentive and thorough. I would definitely recommend him!
Jessica Reyes 10/13/2023 STAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARPSTAR-SHARP D'Angelo 'DLO' was an amazing photographer where he spent the time to get to know my senior and based his pictures on her interests. I highly recommend this beautiful studio where they made you feel like a VIP. We got the total package experience and was worth the costs. 3

Letter from the Leaders
In the world we live in, in the time that we live in, finding your path to fulfillment in life can be difficult. You strive to be successful financially, spiritually, romantically, and leave a mark that will stand the test of time. A mark that will hopefully keep your memory alive in the hearts and minds of many, with a contribution whose initial impact only increases in value long after you are gone. There is no guide book that applies for everyone, and the path toward fulfillment can be either swift and smooth, windy and bumpy, or some wonderfully twisted mesh of these two, but no matter the ease or difficulty of your journey, looking back on the time spent walking down the path that you created, will always remind you of who you are. Three months ago my path found Cady Houston and my life has been forever changed by each turning point I have come across as the Studio Manager, my name is Reno Greenidge-Bullock. The moment I stepped foot inside the studio I felt a wave of welcoming and joyful energy from everyone around me. It is rare that you find a workspace with so many individuals happy about the work that they do and excited to come back the following day to continue it. Cady Houston is a gem carefully plucked and cared for by Ashe Opacki, and I have been given the honor of polishing it even further in her stead. Each member of the team adds to our customer experience, and our outstanding performance for our students and their families. Cady Houston and the Texas market have embraced me with open arms and I vow to give these teams and all of Cady my very best. I am proud to lead our team forward and excited about the potential they have to shine here in Houston. Megan Galvan and Krista McDaniel who are my ASM and Lead Presenter have truly grown into their roles and become the management team I can depend on to help our team succeed. There have been many learning experiences and changes for this team but one thing that remains is their dedication to the students and families that we serve by living the 3 - 5 - 7 every day. I am excited to continue to evolve with this team, and whatever shape our path takes I know we are prepared for whatever may come our way. - Reno Greenridge-Bullock 4

Gregg personally has elevated himself very quickly in the last few months, and took himself from a regular photographer to a strong lead that is trusted by all the shift managers. He also takes the time to elevate others around him, and finds any way he knows to help someone and make them a better photographer, bring better service, or just a better person.

ARROW-UP-LEFT Perfectly Capturing Emotion Jamie Romero
CAMERA Adrian Galendo
This picture is the perfect representation of excellent technique to enhance emotion. The crown of lighting around the student brings a profound layer of depth and the angle of the camera allows the emotion of the student to be shown clearly. Truly beautiful execution.

An image made for the big leagues! The smoke, the display of branding on the bat, the stern look over the shoulder that tells you he means business; the combination of well executed details shows an image of professional quality.

ARROW-UP-LEFT Showcasing The Student All people are different, this image celebrates that by bringing the unique personality of the student to the table. The expression combined with the display of the guitar gives us a good idea about what this student is all about and the joy they experience in who they are.
