Such a great place for senior graduation/ yearbook pictures. The staff from the reception to the studio were all so nice. The receptionist, Laura , was so kind and patient we really felt welcome. Our photographer, Juan , and his team made it so quick and easy to change between sessions and were very patient with my daughter. 10/10 experience!

I had to take my son to CADY in Miramar for his senior pictures, and I didn't really know what to expect. The place is clean and beautifully decorated. The best part is the staff. Everyone there is so nice and they made my kid feel relaxed and calmed, which was great because he hates taking pictures. They know what they are doing and they are so helpful! Thank you everyone for bringing out the best in him and for being so incredibly nice!

We had an amazing experience with our son’s senior photos! It was such a fun morning. Everyone was so kind and professional. Ace is an incredible photographer who took his time to capture great photos! Their attention to detail made it truly a memorable experience. Highly recommend.

What a great experience. Our school changed studios for senior pix this year and I was not thrilled. I was wrong. The staff was kind and efficient. Made my senior feel comfortable and beautiful. Let her look at the pic and decide if she wanted different ones.

Jesse and Angel were fabulous at their job! They both made my daughter feel at ease and made the whole experience just magical for the whole family.
The photographer had a great eye for details; hair and jewelry out of place. The front desk staff was smiling and friendly.
Great experience!
Went back in two weeks later to select photos. Travis was awesome in guiding us through the selection process. Grateful for their expertise! Highly recommend!

My son did his senior photos today and they took their time with him to make sure these memories would be wonderful. Lots of suggestions and props to make the photos the best they could be. Can’t wait to see them!

Letter from the Leaders
It’s hard to believe that I have been lucky enough to do what I love for my job for as many years as I have. Photography has been an important part of my life from the moment in 8th grade when I enrolled in a photography class. I asked my father to use his camera, and as I recall, I was told to give it back in the same condition as I received it. (I never did give the camera back, sorry Dad!) I remember vividly the smell of the darkroom chemicals and the absolute wonder of watching a print materialize on the paper before my eyes. I was hooked.
Sadly, I have not been in a dark room for many years. The advent of digital cameras and printers has all but made the processing art nothing more than a hobby. At the time, I was truly apprehensive about what digital photography meant for the industry. I was resistant to the change and it took a dedicated YB advisor to sit me down and put a digital camera in my hands. It was a Canon EOS 1, a collaboration with Kodak and it weighed around 3.5 pounds. I skeptically held it up to my eye and took a picture. In just a few moments, a color image appeared on the, at the time, massive 1.75 inch display. True, the details were fuzzy, the color a little off, but I was holding an instant image that was even faster than a polaroid! Again, I was hooked.
Things change. Sometimes rapidly and sometimes without us even noticing. How do we deal with this change? Do we embrace it, do we fight it, are we indifferent?
How we approach change can shape us. We can be frightened of it, I was with the rush to digital photography, or we can give change a chance to show us what possibilities are out there if only we show a little faith. And sometimes, it takes the patience of a friend, mentor or colleague to show us the way. The process of change is scary when we are going through it, but when we look back, sometimes, they may be the most important parts of our lives.
Now, to address my fear of changing to mirrorless cameras...
-- Mike Putnam
