Hey Jim, I looked at those snow shots. That is EXACTLY what I was envisioning, especially the first two with the barn. Thank you SO much for the great photos and a special thanks for getting up so early to take those outdoor shots. You've made my day! I'll be sending you a couple copies of the finished Larry Sparks CD project as soon as it comes out.

We were looking for a photographer for our wedding. I heard about Chagares while attending a bridal show at the Richmond Square Mall. They had a CD-ROM with some of their work on it. I have yet to see another photographer offer this.

The Chagares' are very professional. They were always available for questions. They were easily accessible via e-mail and responded quickly.

The day of the wedding they were extremely helpful. They gave us great advice and helped the day go smoothly, keeping everything on time. They really know what they are doing down to an art. Jim and Deb work great together as a team.

William and I absolutely adore our wedding pictures. When we were shopping for photographers I was immediately impressed by their CD. We shopped around and met with other photographers making sure to view all types of their work and not one compared to Chagares Photography. The subject matter, quality, technology and creativity of photography requires an artist and every artist tells a story which is what Chagares portraits do. They capture something a mere snap shot cannot.

I have referred people to Chagares Photography.  I've had several friends who have married recently but they shied away from the cost. In the case of your wedding it is an event with lots of expenses but it goes so fast it's only for one day. When it's all said and done the only thing left from the event is the portraits and I would never trust those memories to someone who just did snapshots. Chagares was an expense for us as a young married couple but it was a wonderful investment.

We would definitely use Chagares Photography again. In fact when we have children, I can't wait to see what kind of story Jim & Deb can capture in our family portrait.

Having my Senior Pictures taken at Chagares Photography was a blast! I felt like a movie star and the pictures were fantastic!

I had lots of fun getting my Senior Portraits taken. We did an in-studio session and they helped me decide on clothes and what looked best. Then we did my outdoor session and I had lots of fun taking pictures with my dog. I got my portfolios back very quickly and couldn't decide what I wanted because they were all great.

I really loved all my Senior Pictures. I believe Jim is a natural born photographer and I would recommend him to anyone. He really does a GREAT job.

The first time I went to Chagares Photography was to have our family portraits created. Then I had my Senior Pictures taken there and really had a lot of fun. They were awesome and I don't think I would have been treated the same if I had gone somewhere else. My Dad told me they do a great job so I listened to my Dad and he was right. My results were fantastic. When I first saw my pictures I was shocked at how well they came out. I referred my best friend Jake who got his Senior Pictures taken by Chagares also and he loved them. Just try not to make someone laugh when they're trying to be serious because the pictures come out funny, but that's OK because I kept some of those pictures also.

I loved my Senior Pictures and so did my family. I liked all my poses.

Kelly Marinakes
I love the Senior Pictures Debbie did for me and I'm always here for you when you need a model.

I first went to Chagares in August 2003 to get my senior pictures taken. It was the best experience I've ever had. I had so much fun and I'm really glad I chose them to take my pictures. I have yet to see any better quality pictures. These were the first pictures taken of myself that I like (a lot). It was to the point where I couldn't, or I had a hard time picking which poses I wanted. I liked every single one of them, there wasn't a bad one.

I learned about their studio from Tom and Michelle Ladd. I saw their family pictures and the pictures of Chloe and Clair and I thought they were beautiful. The minute I saw them, I knew I wanted Chagares to take my senior pictures.

Since my experience was so great at Chagares, I plan to use them in the future. I want them to be the ones who fulfill all of my photographic needs. I already know that the day I get married I want them to be the ones to take my pictures. I wouldn't change a thing about my experience with them. I recommend everyone to use them if they want awesome service and good quality pictures. They're the best!

Kristi Arnold
When choosing a photographer for our daughter Kristi's senior portraits Chagares Photography was our first choice. When we came into the studio for her session Jim was very professional yet at the same time he was relaxed which helped Kristi to relax so she could enjoy herself. The session was a fun experience for Kristi and us. Jim was able to capture the real essence of our daughter. We couldn't wait to see the finished product. A few days after the session we were able to see the proofs. The proofs were presented to us in a slideshow presentation with music to go along with it. This was a great way to look at the proofs. We were amazed at how many expressions Jim captured that we didn't see in the session. At the end of the presentation Deb had taken one portrait of Kristi and made a watercolor. She absolutely saved the best for last. What a beautiful portrait. Jim and Deb's professionalism, warmth and friendliness made this a memorable moment in our lives. I was surprised the other day when someone came to me and said "I saw your daughter's picture in the window". I had no idea what they were talking about, they explained and I had to see for myself. "Wow!" "It's just beautiful". We recommend the studio to all of our friends and family. But most of all Jim and Deb have made customers for life.

I came to Chagares Photography for my senior pictures in October 2004. They made sure I was comfortable. They didn't rush or act like they didn't care about their work. They were polite and even offered me a Dr. Pepper.

Megan Johnston
I came to Chagares Photography in August 2004 for my senior pictures. It was fun. It was a comfortable atmosphere and it was easy to express myself. We received the CD in the mail and were very pleased with the different styles and backgrounds there were to choose from. I was very pleased at the excellent service. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Jim & Deb for a number of years. My first use of their services was in 2003 for my son's graduation pictures; then later for myself for business cards. In 2006, I had need for additional business cards and came to Jim with a basic concept of what I thought I wanted. I am a realtor and didn't want the standard realtor "mug shot", nor a spin off of what some other realtors were doing. I turned the reins completely over to Jim and Deb and they ran with it! The final result was great AND fast. I have had nothing but great compliments on my cards from everyone that sees them. The experience working with Jim & Deb can only be described as warm, friendly, and true professionalism! You are made to feel that you are not "just a client" but a friend, and they prove that client service does still exist. They are both truly consummate professionals!

I first came to Chagares in November of 2004. My daughter was only 4 months old and my son was four years old. It was the first time they had professional pictures taken. They captured moments of my children that no other photographer had been able to get. They didn't just take their picture, they created a treasure that can never be replaced. They were very patient with my two young ones, and just when I thought they certainly couldn't have gotten a good picture, we see they got a lot of great pictures. We heard about the quality of pictures that Jim and Deb take through word of mouth. Words can't express how satisfied we were with the results of our portraits. Thank you so much for the memories of my children that you created, and are going to continue to create. You do an amazing job!

Holden Smith
I came to your studio in September of 2008. I needed Senior Pictures. My experience was excellent. Jim Chagares was great. He was willing to do anything to make me happy. My Aunt in Cincinnati had seen his work and my grandparents from Richmond had seen his work and both thought his work was very good. I was extremely satisfied. Everything turned out even better than I had expected. I wouldn't changed anything. It was perfect. I have referred a lot  of my friends already because they wanted to know who did my pictures.
