Professional Services in Placentia

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.

Providing full-service dry cleaning to the Orange County area since 1950, Kona Cleaners has tidied more than a semi-century worth of suits, space suits, jeans, space jeans, pope robes, dresses, and sticky gorilla costumes. Prices vary by location; pants, on average, cost $5.35, a dress is $9.96, and shirts run around $2.65. Specializing in cleaning unusual materials such as caviar sequins and bread-bowl hats, Kona also expertly performs alterations ($10 average for a pant hem) and employs environmentally conscious cleaning methods. Their use of wet cleaning when possible and high-tech cleaning equipment is buttressed by a sophisticated sorting system and a well-trained staff that ensures each garment is restored to its fresh-off-the-particle-assembler condition.

If Seuss blew balloons, they'd look something like the creations at Balloon Celebration.

Mix and match 50 different species of balloon in 80 different shades of color to convey any message of your choosing.

Green Acres Nursery maintains more than 600 varieties of plants and trees on more than 15 acres, most of which are tailored to southwestern landscapes. White, ornamental star jasmine bushes ($9.78 for 5 gal.) will withstand drought while inviting visiting noses to whiff their ambrosial scents, while vibrant, purple bougainvillea ($4.20 for 1 gal.) will florally fill gaps in any fence to keep opossums from trespassing. Since the ordinary backyard aquascape has deflated Mylar balloons for lily pads and aged pitas for skipping stones, make your pond superb by adding naturally luscious philodendrons ($49.40 for 15 gal.). Green Acres Nursery cultivates each greenling on-site in its nursery, caring for them from the time they're a tiny bud to their first day of kindergarten.
