“YOU are amazing! Thank you for taking the time to capture Mary’s uniqueness on film. This momma will treasure these images!” -Lori D.

You aren’t ordinary! Your senior pictures shouldn’t be ordinary! Stop settling for what everyone else is getting! Come to a studio that values your uniqueness and understands how to capture it. A studio that has as much fun planning and executing your perfect session as you do. Come to a studio that wants every session to be one of a kind. Come to a studio that wants YOU to BE FEARLESS! Let’s be honest-Cincinnati has a lot of Senior Photographers. Before you choose the studio that will make your ‘Once in a lifetime’ photos, ask yourself (and them!) some important questions: Does the photographer genuinely care about what I want from my senior session? Has he/she asked me questions about what I do (and don’t) want for my pictures? Do they have a collection of curated wardrobe options that I can select from to give my images that extra sparkle and shine? Are they going to use location lighting to make me look my best? Do they actually understand Photoshop and are they going to take the time to edit every photo I see and buy? Are they going to make sure I end up with heirloom quality products that I can see and touch years from now and pass down to my children? You’ve worked 12 hard years to hit this milestone. We’ll work just as hard to get you the perfect senior photos!

Be Fearless. Be Yourself.

We are committed to providing the best service for our customers. We go above and beyond to provide options that other photographers don’t (or won’t).
A Curated Wardrobe and Accessory Closet
What’s this? An amazing closet of hand picked items that we allow our clients to borrow for their session. We follow seasonal trends and styles and continually add to our curated closet. You’ll find dresses, tops, skirts, hats, scarves, head bands, gloves, fashion hosiery, jewelry, and other great treasures;exclusively available to our clients during their session. Our closet includes a variety of sizes in fashion forward and traditional styles, so no one is left out. Sometimes a selection from our closet is just the right touch to take an image from good to amazing. And who doesn’t love playing dress up?

Lifetime Art Replacement

Your commitment to our studio is a personal investment. An investment of your time as well as your money. We truly believe our products are designed and crafted as heirloom pieces that should be passed on from generation to generation. Your portrait artist as well as our digital art team work on every image individually to create a one of a kind masterpiece. These pieces capture precious memories and we hear from our clients that they are some of their most treasured possessions. As additional piece of mind to secure your investment and as recognition of their treasured place in your lives, we provide a lifetime replacement for any Wall or Table Art purchased from our studio. In the event that you suffer a loss due to natural disaster or an act of God, we will replace your selections absolutely free of charge to you. We don’t know of any other studio in Cincinnati that offers this benefit. Guess you’ll have to change your answer to that age-old question “What would you save from your burning house”, right? We’ve got you covered.

Studio Lighting on Location

It’s not your job to understand lighting and how it can make you look your best.  It’s ours.  Working with a photographer that only uses available light will limit your location and session times and makes it less likely that you will look your best in your final images.  It can also limit the creativity and uniqueness of your images.  If you don’t believe that lighting on location will make a difference, take a look at our online galleries and see if we can change your mind.  It’s a subtle difference that can trim pounds and give your images a unique look.  Can your photographer shoot at noon and make it look like it was night?  Twilight at 2:00?  Done and done with Cara Jonas Photography.

Create Your Own Collection Pricing

FREEDOM!  Say goodbye to standard packages and products that you don’t want.  Our Create Your Own Collection (CYOC) model puts you in charge of selecting what works for your family while still providing great discounts and other bonuses.  We also have products in our collection that are unique and different like jewelry, water bottles and, wall clings.

Individual Reveal and Selection Session

We don’t just drop you a CD of (in many cases unedited) images and send you on your way.  We don’t just post an online gallery and let you stumble through image after image trying to select your favorites.  Your reveal session is like a movie premier!  Your final images are presented in a video slideshow set to music!  You are the star of this show!  After we’ve revealed your images, we work with you individually to select your products and guide you every step of the way. This isn’t a high pressure sales session and there are absolutely no sales minimums with our studio.  We bring our expertise as artists and work with you to not only select the best images but also the best products to display those images. You don’t order wall art every day, so we don’t expect you to know exactly what you want or what your options are.

Artistic Montages

This is next level creativity and uniqueness!  If you want an absolute, one of a kind, exceptional work of art-you need to check out our montages.  These pieces take images from your session and re-imagine them with custom backgrounds, water, fog, and flour brush effects, and in many cases combine multiple images into one amazing art piece.  The possibilities are endless!  There are very few studios in Cincinnati with digital artists on staff that can create these unique and powerful images.  A montage is truly the best way to celebrate an incredible milestone like graduation.

Tools and Tricks

We love doing creative and unique photographs.  Our bag of tricks includes fans, rain on demand, and smoke bombs.  Your photography session should be an adventure, not a grind! For more information on what to expect during your session and many of the questions you may have about working with us, please check out our FAQ page:  FAQs *Lifetime Replacement Guarantee only for products selected from the Wall Art and Table Art categories and only covers losses that do not also impact the studio location.
