The staff was amazing. We brought our very large dog for our senior pictures and they were all so friendly and accommodating. Great experience!

Ziona and Kira were professional, fun and creative. They took their time with and made my son feel at ease throughout his session.

Absolutely a wonderful and fun experience. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed from the staff. Everyone from the front desk to the photographers, are some of the most respectful, helpful, and funny people I’ve met (especially Jasmine , sweet and funny, she’ll let you eat all the Biscoff cookies you want, too!). My daughter’s high school switched companies this year for the senior portraits and I must say, they made a great choice. The studio is nice, clean and beautiful. They have monitors up so you can view what the pictures look like and they allow family members to take pictures with your senior. They have so many wonderful photographers working that there’s never a long wait to get your portraits taken. The living walls scene was my daughter’s favorite. I think everyone will love the studio and have a great experience when they visit. I know her pictures are going to come out great!

My daughter had a fabulous photoshoot session at CADY today. I signed her up for the Ultimate Elite package and we couldn’t be happier. Her photographer, Ziona , was simply amazing. She was easy going and friendly, making my daughter feel comfortable immediately. Add on to it her photography skills and artistic eye… wow! Definitely ask for Ziona if you book a session for your senior.

I can't say enough good things about the staff here after having my son's pictures taken today. They were all so kind. We had our dog, Pluto, with us and they all adored him. I can't wait for the pictures to come back!

Tyrel M and Jamal are two of the photographers that worked with us (sorry I'm not great with names). But they were all great to work with!

Letter from the Leaders

Hello team!

So far this first few weeks open have been AMAZING! I am so proud of how far we have come in such a short amount of time. Opening day was 7/28 and since then we, as a team, have been able to accomplish 37 stellar reviews, staying in the top 3 of the company for presales, and just being all around an amazing team! We have been able to pull off some miracles in the past few weeks! Our Photographers have learned so much and through their amazing photos we have already had 90% in sales to our Most Popular students and 100% sales to our Elite students in presentations so far! Each and every one of you brings an important piece of the puzzle to our team and through that we succeed!

Thank you for always coming into work with positive attitudes, being fanatically passionate and the drive to make CADY in Raleigh THE BEST CADY STUDIO we can be!

Best,

-- Jasmin Gunning

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.

Posing With a Purpose

The student is well posed and centered nicely in the image. The student appears powerful from their fierce expression and how their bag is placed. Great photo.

ARROW-UP-LEFT Great Lighting & Natural Posing

This photo is very well lit and has great horizontal composition. The pose is natural for the student and elevates the overall aesthetic of the photo. The photographer worked to get the best shot for the student and they definitely succeeded!

ARROW-UP-LEFT Composition and Energy on Point

Strong expression pose. The student actually screamed very loudly in order to get the drama shown in the photo. The photographer did a good job matching the student’s energy and getting a solid shot.
