Before photography, family memories were kept alive through annual reenactments of the year's best moments, despite Grandpa's continued miscasting as the mischievous puppy. Treasure your memories with today's Groupon: for $69, you get a photo shoot and a CD of five high-resolution digital files (a $325 value) from adara photography at their in-home studio on East 36th Street or on-location within a 30-mile radius of Sioux Falls.

Armed with a degree in and passion for photography, adara photography's namesake owner specializes in child and family photos, while also capturing senior pictures. Shutterbug sessions last up to an hour and consist of some set-up portraits, though the main focus remains on candid, non-posed moments (a $150 value). Let loose under the camera's skilled, unblinking eye, and every laugh, tear, family-tree planting ritual, and spontaneous pinky-wrestling match can be immortalized. Set up little ones or the entire family in adara's in-home studio, or introduce them to the elements during an al fresco shoot (weather permitting). After the final frame, erstwhile models scour through their images in an online, password-protected proof gallery and select five photos to go on a CD (a $175 value). Prints are not covered by this Groupon, but can be ordered separately, along with press-printed options such as albums, greetings cards, and more.
