James Garber began his photographic career in 1966 after eight years as a high school band and choral director. He rapidly became known as the leading wedding photographer in the Richmond, VA, area and earned both state and national awards for his photography. In 1975 James Garber switched entirely to  commercial photography for family reasons. During this time he worked for such 
national and international companies as Reynolds Metals, Rubbermaid, Stihl (chainsaws), Volvo and Miller-Morton (ChapStick, and Seargent's Pet  Products).

In 1993, James Garber moved to Brazil, IN, where he and his wife, Linda,   opened a portrait and wedding studio. Since that time he has continued to garner  top awards in state, regional, and national competitions. In 2001, he earned the  distinction of being in the top 10 photographers of the Mid-East  region (Ohio,  Pennsylvania, Michigan, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Indiana), and has earned a  Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) designation from the Professional Photographers of America.

A photographic portrait is an investment that will be enjoyed by both you and   your family for many years to come. Over the years we have found that often the   most striking portraits are those that are simple in design. For that reason we strive for elegant posing and pleasing lighting which allows maximum attention to be focused on the character of the subject. Let us create a family treasure for you. A portrait by Garber is not expensive, it is priceless!
