Because you replaced all your normal cameras with fish-eye cameras during the height of aquarium popularity in the 1980s, it's time to outsource your photographic needs. Today's Groupon gets you a one-hour in-studio photo session ($175 value) along with 15 basically enhanced digital images on CD ($225 value) and 25% off all printed prints from This is iT Photography in Santa Clara for $35. This package is your opportunity to upgrade the framed family photos that have been hanging in your parents’ home for the past 450 months.
There’s always an excuse to say cheese: you’re engaged, you’re pregnant, you graduated high school, or you're doing all three at once. Owned by the wedded Marc (winner of Photographer of the Year Awards from international photography groups) and Phoebe Aviles, This is iT delivers high-quality shots from skilled eyeballs. Even if you’re not commemorating a major milestone, you might need a professional headshot to further your career. Actresses, authors, musicians, clowns, dancers, comedians, and other performers can all benefit from classy prints. Stop by the studio alone or with a group for a carefully coordinated photo shoot, or spend an extra $110 to move your session outdoors or on location for a two-to-three-hour round of photography. Unfortunately, you cannot shoot your Perfect Storm-themed wedding, because this Groupon is not valid for wedding photography.
The fruits of your modeling labor come in the form of 15 digital images with basic touch-ups that are printer-ready on CD. You can also go beyond the scope of your Groupon by ordering prints from your shoot with a 25% discount. Fill your wallet with a charming shot of your charmed countenance (originally $25 for eight wallet-sized copies), or pack your gigantic wallet with a sturdy 5"x7" print (originally $25).
Studio photography lets you capture your overflowing glamour, the look of love between you and your betrothed, or anything else that merits becoming a tangible memory. Now that you aren’t riddled with acne or plagued with a six-year-old’s gummy smile, go on and surprise your folks with a more up-to-date snapshot just in time for Family Valentine's Day.

Groupon Says
Photogeist
Throughout the whole of nature many elusive beings cannot be properly photographed, such as vampires, ninjas, and your girlfriend who goes to a different high school. Groupon paraphotographers were, however, able to uncover one irrefutable incident of ghost photography: the infamous Hansen Collection.
One night in 1978, amateur bat photographer Gregory Hansen was in his front yard when a mysterious white orb appeared in the sky over his home. Diverting his attention from a particularly active nest of eptesicus fuscus, he began photographing the orb, which made no attempt to flee or conceal itself. Hansen continued to document the orb as it reappeared over his house, each night shrinking slightly “as though passing slowly into the spirit world ”. On particularly cloudy nights, the orb would not be present, prompting Hansen to speculate that ghosts may be allergic to thunder.
Although skeptics have said “I don’t have time for this” and “Seriously, are you five? I’m actually asking you if you are literally five years old” regarding Hansen’s photos, die-hard Hansenites keep the truth alive through web-based communities and Obey The Orb street graffiti. Hansen tragically passed away in 2005, when he was struck by a roaring mechanical demon while crossing the street.
