When we arrived they were very busy, but very attentive. We were checked in and taken back right away and were also given an opportunity to take some photos on my own in the front by the 2024 sign. I was not rushed in doing this. They were very clear about when I would be able to see the proofs. For being a first visit it went very well.

Everyone was super nice and helpful. Especially when I felt like I was adjusting my hair too long, they were accommodating to me!

Letter from the Leaders
Greetings everyone!
Here at the Grapevine studio, we are positive that this new season will be our best one yet. We are CADY- a company and family who inspire each other to unleash our human potential. I see this every day in our studio, where we are always navigating the days as a team to uplift each other in providing an enthusiastic atmosphere between clients and team members alike. I value the communication that the team has given a flow to; from IP, photographers, and studio side. Seeing how we can collaborate to elevate an already premier experience to clients that result in beautiful and unique images is what I love the most about my role here.
From start to finish, our team is there every step of the way! SERs deliver our outstanding warm welcomes, our photographers interact with every student’s personalities and highlight them, then our IP team works to finalize the best images for our presenters to display and curate a fabulous order: all of which is not soon to be forgotten by any one who enters our studio. I am beyond grateful for my peers in management who work almost around the clock in supporting our team and nurturing their growth.
Throughout my time here, I have garnered an amazing insight on the world of school photography and what really is the glue of this industry- teamwork and leadership that fuels the extraordinary energy that is exclusive to CADY. I hope to motivate those around me the same way that they have motivated me to be an exceptional person, and not just in the studio, but in all aspects of my life. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for the season, and our team.
To all of you at the Grapevine location, I want to thank every single one of you for being who you are and bringing your own flair to form a place I am proud to call my studio- and I hope you are too!
– Stephanie Robles

Living the 3.5.7. The Core of CADY
Joe is constantly named in 5 star reviews and is a highly requested photographer because he utilizes techniques to thank all guests for coming in. From his personal welcome and all the way to his fond farewells, Joe has a unique skill set in creating personal connections!
Phoebe truly knows what it means to be a part of the CADY experience, continuously striving to provide premier customer service. She evaluates all of the dynamics that come into the studio and elevates their experience by paying attention to the unique and small details that matter most to them.
Nick is one of our newest hires and has come in with a wonderful attitude! Joining at the start of peak season, Nick has had to go through a fast-tracked training period so we could get him photographing ASAP — and he has really excelled in every interaction with our clients.
