Convocation Approaching ~ Schedule Your Grad Portrait

Portrait photo sessions are still available for both Cornell and Ithaca College graduation ceremonies! We carefully select and blur a background that frames your graduate, coach them on a variety of poses, and leave you with a gorgeous retouched image to commemorate this momentous accomplishment. With family and friend photos included as well, an iPhone truly cannot replace a professional photographer.

Travelling Internationally? Ensure an Approved Passport Photo

There are many places to acquire a U.S. passport photo, but few standard shops in Tompkins County are equipped to provide Canadian and other foreign passport, visa, and citizenship application photos. Jon Reis Photography ensures an approved image that meets all specific photo specifications from any foreign government, along with a quick 24-hour turn-around time.

New Year, New Profile Pic

            

As you're looking to further your career this year, a good place to start is with a new portrait for your LinkedIn profile. A professional photo instantly shows credibility and self-confidence in an online environment where employers are browsing quickly through your competitors. Portraits by Jon Reis Photography guarantee complimentary lighting and we'll coach you on an expression that feels natural and is suited to your specific intentions.

Feb-Mar Studio Business Portrait SPECIAL

As the remainder of winter continues on in Central New York, now is a good time to knock 'new portrait' off your to-do list. This is especially true because today begins our two-month portrait special: $50.00 off our standard session price.


A professional headshot can be used on company websites, print publications, and social media networks like LinkedIn and Facebook. We'll work together to make sure your portrait reflects your character - personable, experienced, and passionate about what you do.

Passport Photography: Get it Right the First Time

Canadian and other foreign passports, visas, and immigration application photos demand strict adherence to government-regulated specifications. Establishments that take U.S. passport photos are often unable to meet other countries' individual requirements - including balanced lighting, frame ratio, head size, and specified background. At Jon Reis Photography, we guarantee a successful portrait based on your particular needs.
