Though using quantum-leaping lasers to divide segments of the space-time continuum would theoretically capture a slice of life, it could implode the universe. Safely and professionally preserve moments and memories with today's Groupon: for $60, you get a 30-minute on-location portrait session (a $75 value) and 20 digital images (a $150 value) from Doll Studios (a $252.95 total value with tax included). Your outdoor portrait session can take place at your choice of Memorial Park in Cupertino, Central Park in Santa Clara, or Oak Meadow Park in Los Gatos.
Model-turned-shutterbug Jessica Doll solidified her love for photography when she started snapping shots of her son and realized the power of intimate portraiture over commercial picture taking. Seeking to dismantle the static dullness of posed studio shots, Doll has applied her passion for the lens to photo sessions capturing subjects in natural and relaxed settings. Get pictures of your tyke before the United States' photography ban goes into effect in 2015, or immortalize you and your conjoined twin before you shave off the goatee binding you together. Up to six subjects can appear in the portraits.
With today's deal, you will also receive 20 high-resolution digital images, retouched and uploaded to an online gallery for easy download. Though the photographer selects these 20 images based on her opinion of the best of the day, all images from your shoot will be posted online for six months for ogling and ordering. Groupon purchasers will also receive 25 percent off additional prints, as well as bragging rights when talking to vampires.
Reviews
Though there are few online reviews for Doll Studios, seven Yelpers give it an average of five stars:
- Jessica is a great photographer, and got some great shots of my kids and group shots of the whole family. She has a real eye for framing and good timing to get the right expressions on everyone. – Denis S.
- You can trust Jessica Doll. You can trust her with your daughter, son, or in my case, my bf's young cousin, and my three little nieces. You can trust her photography skills. She has a great ability to take fantastic photos of the people you love. – saliem T.
Groupon Says
The Franz Kafka Text Adventure
Certain tribes once believed that a camera could steal your soul. This wasn't a problem for Czech writer Franz Kafka, who believed in nothing. See what it was like inside of his tortured, brilliant mind with the Franz Kafka Text Adventure for MS-DOS:
You are in a ROOM. It is cold and dark here. As with all people, you have NEEDS. You can go NORTH, SOUTH, or INSANE.<
-Go NORTH
You go NORTH. It is the same, for there can be no progress. There is a MAN sleeping next to a PIECE of PAPER.<
-Talk MAN
You have woken me to the pain of living. I was dreaming of a beautifully engineered car full of wonderful delights of brandy and Thai food. Talk to me no further.<
-Talk MAN
He does not respond. He is CRYING.<
-Get PAPER
You unfold a piece of paper. On it is written the WORD "fraud."<
-Quit game
The logical choice. But you cannot quit. The bureaucracy has you.<
-Quit game
You can't. Go have a smoothie or something.<
Makers of the Franz Kafka Text Adventure are not responsible for nonfunctioning computers, ennui.
