TESTIMONIALS
So much more than just pictures! Mr. Garvey creates precious keepsakes that will be passed on for generations! Along with taking beautiful pictures, Mr. Garvey is excellent with children. He was able to work magic with both our toddlers (ages 1 & 2) and no tears! He knew when our children needed a little break and he and Kathy provided an easy, relaxed, no-rush environment. When it came time to sit and review our photos, Kathy was wonderful! She helped us keep track of the pictures we had taken of our first child so that we would have the same of our second. Kathy even helped us combine pictures so that both of our children’s best poses were combined into a single photo. You will not find a better photography studio that is as skilled in creating a welcoming environment as it is in capturing beautiful memories!

If you are looking for good solid family photography, Charles Garvey studios is a good place to go. I have seen their work over the past ten years and it is consistently good. The poses are relaxed and not as staged and stiff as some studio results. The color and lighting is professional and the paper quality used is excellent. This is a great place for individual or group photos.

Charles Garvey is a master of lighting! He can take years off you by adjusting the lighting. We joke that I did not look THAT WONDERFUL that day when we get the proofs back. He works magic. He also has a way with children. He does charge setting fees, but he will work with you for over an hour to get your child comfortable to get that heirloom picture.
He is not inexpensive, but you get wonderful quality work.

High School Seniors:
“I’m not usually one for seeing myself in pictures but when I first saw them, I honestly spent an hour trying to decide which ones to get. I had a great time!”
“Mr. Garvey was really nice and paid just the right amount of attention to express my high school interests.”
“I had a great time at the photo session. I enjoyed being able to listen to my own music and being able to bring a friend along.”
“Bring your wardrobe, props, even CDs…and get ready to have some fun!”


























































For over 22 years “Charleygarvey” (all one word) has been more an extended family member than “just” our family photographer. He and Kathy have always given special attention to the goals I had for each of our 4 children’s individual portraits as well as family sittings and political headshots for campaign usage. The addage “you get what you pay for” is very true. In my family, there is NOTHING more treasured and priceless than the little pieces of time that have been captured and immortalized by Charley. Once you try Garvey Photography, nothing else will satisfy your desire for quality photographic imagery. I like to purchase gift certificates as baby gifts to my friends who love photographs as much as I do. I cannot think of a better gift than the gift of happy memories. Thanks for the memories Charleygarvey!
