Mike Janes Photography

Services: Youth Sports Photography - Band Photography - 1" Buttons

Now accepting youth league photography assignments!
As one of the leading photographers in professional baseball today, we've covered players from future Hall of Famers like Ken Griffey Jr. (top left), to future stars like Rookie of the Year candidate Delmon Young (top right), as well as teams such as the Jamestown Jammers (top middle). This upcoming season we are looking to cover more youth leagues in the surrounding area with the same quality that professional sports demands, and at a cost that makes it affordable for all. If you are interested in having your leagues photos covered by Mike Janes Photography, please contact us!

Sports that have been previously covered include: Baseball, Softball, Soccer, Volleyball, Football, Field Hockey, Basketball, Wrestling, Hockey, and more!

BENEFITS:

NO UP-FRONT COSTS! - The league is not responsible for any costs, whatsoever! The only thing the league/club is responsible for is setting a day and time and distributing order forms to the coaches.

LOW PRICES! - Compared to several companies our prices rank among the lowest with packages starting at $14. Don't want a package? No problem, we offer individual prints and items at a low cost as well!

INDIVIDUAL HANDLING! - All photos are taken by Mike Janes, not an assistant or another photographer hired out like several companies do. When using a company that hires out you never know the quality you could get.

QUALITY OF ITEMS/PRINTS! - Prints are done in a photo lab on Fujicolor Crystal Archive professional photographic paper using Fuji Frontier printers, processed through professional Fuji Hunt Chemicals. The archival quality of this process is 50+ years, before fading may occur. All other items such as key chains, magnets, etc. are also of professional quality.

FAST TURN-AROUND - Over the last year a system has been established to make sure photos are delivered quickly, usually within two weeks.

HAND DELIVERED! - When the league is photographed early the fast turnaround allows us to hand deliver the packages to the coaches or league representative to ensure the items are delivered with great care.

FREE SPONSOR PLAQUES! - If applicable, each team will get a plaque featuring the team photo with engraving to give their sponsor as a thank you. The league pays absolutely NOTHING extra for this feature.

FREE COACHES PHOTOS! - Each coach in the photo will recieve a free 5x7 Matte print at no charge!

ACTION PHOTOS! - If requested, they are taken and placed online for parents to view/order.
