DeeDee was amazing. She took amazing pictures and was very nice and understanding. When we did the outside photo shoot she did not complain about the places we went to get the perfect photo. She went above and beyond to help us through the process.

Olivia provided great customer service. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed. She provided the necessary tools to view the most wonderful video I've seen ever. The gift of our son telling us how much his family means to him. I was very tearful but amazed at the wonderful job your team gave to my family. Thank you Olivia for this experience.

Letter from the Leaders

Dear Dacula Family,

As a dedicated member of CADY, I have had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the incredible impact that our innovative style has on our team. One of the qualities that truly sets our team apart is our fearlessness to live boldly. We are not afraid to take risks, explore new avenues, and push boundaries. This courage trickles down to every one of us, empowering us to step out of our comfort zones and reach for the stars.

Our ability to inspire creativity is truly amazing. Through our pictures, actions, and support, we ignite a passion within us to think outside the box and bring innovative ideas fourth. We create an environment that encourages imagination and allows us to explore our full potential. Our team inspires us to embrace our creative instincts.

I have always admired our photographers', our sales team, and our management( our team as a whole) fanatic passion for the smallest details. You understand the importance of going that extra mile to ensure excellence in everything we do. Your attention to detail sets the standard for all of us, reminding us that even the smallest aspects can make a difference.

One of the most remarkable aspects of our team is the ability to celebrate each other. We truly understand the power of recognition and the impact it has on a team. Whether it's a simple thank you note or a high-five, we make it a point to acknowledge the hard work and achievements of each team member.

Another quality that makes our team exceptional is our commitment to being heroes. You all lead by example, always ready to lend a helping hand, offer guidance, and support your team. Your selflessness inspires us to be our best selves and to support one another. You create a culture of collaboration and teamwork, where we are all heroes striving towards a common goal.

We all can bring out the best in every one of us. Our fearlessness to live boldly, inspire creativity, obsess over small details, celebrate each other, and be heroes sets an example that we are proud to follow. Thank you for being the team that we need and deserve. Your support has helped us grow as a family.

HAND-WAVE Personal Welcome

�� Fanatically Passionate

Christian has grown as a photographer at Dacula. When he started a year ago, his first shift was an elite by accident. But we saw so much growth in potential in Christian. He deserved the spot of inspiring creativity because Christian makes magic within the CADY way. He’s always trying new and improved ways to get the perfect shot, leading to other photographers following behind him. You would think he was a Pro athlete, with the bending and squatting he does. Christian is a true MVP for always thinking about how things can be done differently to get the perfect shot.

Cyrus started out as a presenter and moved over to the photo ops side as our image processor. Cyrus has always had an eye for detail. Always giving fantastic feedback to our photographers to make photos more appealing to our customers. We nominated Cyrus for the Feedback section of Key Principles for always lending a helping hand to ensure every photo is always up to the highest standards.

Mia is an all-star when it comes to making sure our students are in tip-top shape in their images. She takes pride in making sure that they look and feel their best. By making small changes to hair, clothing, and even helping out other photographers as well. Mia deserves the Small Details are Huge nomination for helping other photographers with small details and ensuring the students always look their best.

Amber is an absolute rock star with any senior that walks in our studio. From her Elite clients to traditional sessions on the floor, she has the unique ability to make anyone feel comfortable with her warm nature and bright smile. She really takes the time to get to the personality of the student and it shines beautifully in her images.
