My daughter & friend went for senior pictures at CADY yesterday. Staff were all smiling & helpful with the amount of people; students, parents.... even a dog!!
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!!! read more
