Pekara is offering a $100 senior photo package for Northern Colorado families until October, stating: "I know senior photos are important to many families, and not all can afford them. I want to help any family that maybe can't afford the normal pricing."

Pekara is also letting seniors take photos with his Grammy award. If interested, email him at pharaoh171photography@gmail.com.
