Senior Pictures!!


Wow!  So my oldest son is a Senior in High School this year! 

Of course, he had to go to the yearbook photographer to have his pictures taken for the yearbook.  I admit the posed headshots were nice but the casual images were nothing spectacular.  When we received the prices to order prints, I was floored!  For a 11x14, (4) 8x10’s, (10) 5x7’s, (8) 4x5’s and (88) wallets was about $400! 
 I love taking Senior Pictures!  However, sometimes I hear that someone did not book me because they thought my prices were too high.  Well, let’s compare and let you decide

 Yearbook Photographer:

Charges for the session are from $10-40.  Deliver “proofs” unretouched and with their logo on the image.  Preset backgrounds and poses.  High print prices as indicated above!

 John Pellican, photographer:

Charge for the Senior Session is $140.00, an additional $75.00 if you want a professional hair/make-up artist (you will feel like a model!).  Session includes 3-4 outfit changes and 3-4 locations, taking 2-3 hours to create looks that are uniquely yours.  Each look is tailored to your individual personality and every session is different!   You will receive 30-50 high-resolution images that are fully enhanced and retouched by.  The images can be used to create prints from the photo labs of your choice with a tremendous savings over what is offered by the yearbook photographer.  These images can also be used in social media.  I highly recommend http://www.nationsphotolab.com to order your prints.  Through Nations Photo Lab, for the package mentioned above, your cost would actually only be $55.00!  Yes, I am very affordable!

I do my photography because I love it!  I believe anyone should be able to afford it!  Please contact me and let’s

"As my son’s senior year approached, we wanted to capture the special moment
with professional pictures. John Pellican created a comfortable environment for
my son in which he was able to be photographed with his grandfathers 1966
Mustang. John chose each location which exceeded our expectation.......We were
greatly impressed with the level of excellence in each photo."  Kim H.

Violet the Model and Marlene and Taylor's Engagement Session

I was contacted by Violet's mother Katrina who told me that Violet loved to be photographed and was always posing as a model!  I immediately knew we were going to have a fun session and get some amazing images, along with giving a young girl the greatest experience!  Towards the end of the session, we had my youngest son Michael come in to pretend that he was her photographer!  I love the images we produced!  Also, in this post I have the images we created for Marlene and Taylor's engagement session and a few of their wedding images!

If you are ready to plan your session or request my price-list, fee free to contact me at johnpellican@yahoo.com or text/call at (540) 682-3623.  John
