Before photography, the only way people could preserve their most treasured memories was by forcing everyone around them to stand completely still for days at a time. Today's Groupon gives you a less complicated option: for $49, you get a one-hour photo shoot at the location of your choice, plus three 8”x10” prints and three high-quality digital images (a $210 total value) from Bucheli Photography, a Carmichael-based studio serving the area within a 20-mile radius of Sacramento.

Andrea Bucheli has been legally shooting people for years, with particular experience in event photography. Your package consists of a one-hour photo shoot with up to five others at the location of your choice, with as many poses as your poseur mind can postulate (a $75 value). If you're uncertain of which of your sides is most flattering, either ask each side if you look like you've been working out, or ask the photographer for her expert input.

There’s always an excuse to say cheese: you’re engaged, you’re pregnant, you graduated high school, or you placed in the regional knitting finals. Even if you’re not commemorating a major milestone, you might need a professional headshot to further your career. To aid you in your endeavors, your package includes three 8”x10”s of your favorite shot or shots (a $60 value), along with three high-resolution digital files that are suitable for enlargement (a $75 value).
