To begin, I want to recognize the positives. The studio setup was impressive, modern,…read morewell-organized, and clearly designed to make students feel confident and special. The added services like professional hair and makeup, as well as the option for both in-studio and off-site destination shoots, are definite strengths of their offerings in higher package options. The overall production quality was excellent, and the photographers were professional and engaging. That said, I ultimately chose not to purchase additional photos from CADY because I feel their pricing is excessive and not family friendly. It was disappointing to learn that the video reel put together for parents and highlight during their sales presentation can't be purchased on its own, its only available if you commit to an expensive photo package. This lack of flexibility in pricing feels more like a high pressure sales strategy than a service built around the needs of families. What concerns me most is how heavily CADY's model plays on the emotions of parents. By marketing their services around once in a lifetime milestones like graduations and then offering payment plans, they create an environment that encourages overspending. In many cases, this may exploit lower-income families who feel compelled to make financial sacrifices just to preserve memories of their child. I believe memories should be affordable and accessible to all families, not treated as luxury purchases. While the quality of CADY's work is strong, the business approach was more focused on maximizing revenue than supporting families during meaningful moments. Because of this, I truly encourage our school district and others to consider more affordable and transparent photography options in the future. They wait until you spend a day getting photos taken, scene after scene to spring the high cost of the photos on you. I hope CADY Studios reflect on this feedback and consider adjusting their pricing structure to be more inclusive in the future. The cost doesn't have to be as high if the volume of the pictures you sale in return increases. Making getting a child's once in a lifetime pictures taken professionally a more affordable option to all parents, not just some.

Karah took our timeless portion and we are so pleased…read more Thanks Cady!! Nothing like a reschedule and retake! Recommendation: bring inspiration examples for your scenes and share with the photographer. You have an expectation - don't make them guess what you want. You will get what they give and wonder "what happened...these don't look like the same experience..?" Save yourself time. Be prepared!

Pre-sign up & pay for what "sessions" you want. There were dressing rooms for those changing into different outfits. Check in at the front, they give you the run-down & off ya go to the various "session" booths. I say sessions because each booth was set up differently with its own photographer. Pretty cool, actually. My issue was the chaotic lines, or lack thereof. Small studio for the amount of activity & no formal structure for lines, who goes where, etc. lines were mixed up & staff trying to get through all afternoon was tough. They need 3 designated staff members for each studio/room. 1 to greet guests & direct to the accessory staff member, & 3rd being the photographer. If I read the room correctly that's 14 staff to keep organization & flow going. Seems they had staff to do that. Photographers snap pics & have edit/delete rights before they are really actually seen by the guest being photographed. I get that- they are the pro, but our friends who went with us didn't want her ear showing & they chose THOSE very pics & deleted the others... she made them adjust asap. Clients are paying for this- they should at least view quickly & save frustration! Anyway the experience was not bad & they have snacks/coffee/water as well. They all did the best they can & nothing is perfect. My little girl grew up & is a Sr in HS! I wanna enjoy every moment!!!

Worst experience ever! Can I do a negative amount of stars?? We brought my baby in for her first…read moreportraits very excited. The photographer barely looked at us and seemed extremely put out that we were there. I had three ideas that I wanted for the pictures and that I knew were appropriate and very easy to do at my baby's age. The photographer was angry that we made her do anything besides the bare minimum and rolled her eyes the entire time we were choosing background and props. Ok now to the photographs themselves! I don't want to sound like a braggy mom but my baby is photogenic as a motha effa and so damn adorable I can't even stand it! The pictures this woman took in a couple sigh filled minutes made my child look like a three conned blob. The angles were horrible and the physical poses that she ended up doing against our desires were awkward and unflattering. I hated the end result and could have done a better job with my camera phone in a closet! Extremely disappointed and sad that I didn't choose a better place to get my babies first pictures!

He will be graduating in a few days. I just paid $85.00 for a yearbook that only highlights sports, marching band, sports, sports, and more sports. My son is in the concert band, but of course, the concert band is not in there at all! Instead, it's talking about where a bunch of spoiled rich kids went for spring break and what cars they drive, and let's not forget sports! It's his senior yearbook, so we will be keeping it, but I feel ripped off! Also, you have to use Cady Studios for the senior pictures if you want to be in the yearbook. They charge an arm, a leg, and your firstborn child for senior pictures! Not everyone who attends this school is made of money. I know that I certainly am not.

Their photographers take horrible pictures, and their prices are beyond outrageous. They took my son's senior photos, and I had to pay $1000 to get a flash drive with the cap and gown pics, or there was no other way to have them. When I arrived for the photo presentation, I was at the front desk when a girl came and told the person behind the desk she was going on break. Well, that was the person who was supposed to give my presentation, I had to wait 25 minutes to start. Don't pick the "most popular" package, or you can't get your photos without going back to the studio to have a formal presentation of the photos they took. There was a discount offered that was not available to me because they didn't schedule my presentation for TWO MONTHS - nothing was available to book an appointment for over 2months, but the discount was only available if you were ordering within 30 days of the photo shoot. The presenter bugged and bugged me trying to sell the flash drive with the pictures for $1000 or $750 without the cap and gown photos. The minimum price to order pics was $189, and that was for only one pose and 3 sheets of printed photos. I rescheduled a presentation because with all the pushiness, I couldn't decide what to do, and they no-showed the presentation that we rescheduled. I cannot say enough terrible things about the experience, and as I talk to others, they consistently say they had the same experience. Of maybe 40 pictures, only 5 were decent/good. If the school uses them for my other child next year, I will not have them taken and will opt for a private photographer. I feel badly for the schools that don't let their students use anyone else but Cady. I have truly never had such a horrible experience with any other company or any other type of service.
