A good headshot is a ticket to superfame. This Groupon gets you professionally planned and excellently executed photos of your face from Headshots Only for a third of the regular price. Actors, models, and students need professional photos to get to the top in Hollywood, high fashion, and Craigslist listings. The difference between a homemade headshot and one from an expert shutterbug is huge, and a good headshot is an investment in your career. Headshots from Headshots Only have the spellbinding intensity that grabs directors’ attention and compels them to call actors immediately for auditions, which can cause instantaneous superfame.

A photograph is the most economic way for a face to say roughly 800 to 1,000 words in seconds flat. Today's Groupon brings efficient communication through an hour-long on-location photo shoot and two 8x10 photos of your modeling with Illuminated Photography for $45 (a $169 value). Plus, today's deal also gets you 20% off anything you order post-shoot except canvas prints (must place order within two weeks of shoot). Choose the Laguna or North Orange County scenic location of your backdrop dreams (anything outside of that is $1 per mile) and put your recent mirror mugging to the picturesque test.

Julie Diebolt Price, president of JDP Photography, puts friendly faces on websites and brochures by crafting portraits for corporations, entrepreneurs, and organizations. In addition to helping clients such as Standard Pacific Homes, Women Helping Women, and Orange County Rescue Mission, Julie chronicles programs and events for the National Association of Women Business Owners, and she rubs elbows with august institutions such as the Professional Photographers of California and the Professional Photographers of America. Despite a successful professional career—her portfolio is filled with group portraits, product images for advertisements, and stock photos—she has not neglected her artistic side: a piece she dubbed “Tableau at Badling” landed a spot in the PPA’s 2010 International Photographic Competition general collection. When she isn't snapping photos, she teaches others how to use cameras such as DSLR, point-and-shoot, and camerae obscurae.

The celluloid specialists at ScanDigital have processed more than 15 million images since 2007, turning grainy 3"x5" photos and dented VHS tapes into dependable digital files that fill the future with images of a warm and wonderful past. To start a safe, digital archive so home videos of first-grade choir solos don't turn into terrifying, chipmunk-attracting warbles, customers go online to fill out a form that generates a shipping label, and then mail their prized materials. Once parcels are received, staffers liberate the images and footage of dust and blemishes, scan them in, then adjust the orientation and color balance of the newly hatched digital files. After four or more weeks, depending on the order, customers get back the original copies along with their new, high-quality clones on DVD, ensuring that significant moments aren't stained and faded by Father Time’s clumsy coffee spills.
