Photographs provide a more concrete way of recording recollections than outdated methods of sketching portraits in sand or dictating memoirs to an empty jam jar. Preserve precious memories with today's Groupon: for $65, you get a one-hour photo shoot, a DVD slideshow, one 8”x10” print, and two 5”x7” prints from Cate Photography (a $350 value).

Serving Winnipeg since 2005, Cate Photography is a lifestyle photo company specializing in portraits of babies, children, and families. Photo shoots usually last between 45 minutes to an hour, and clients choose any location they like. Indoor and outdoor spots are all fair game, as long as there is plenty of natural light; Cate Photography resists the artifice of studio lighting, flashes, and pieces of yellow construction paper cut to look like the sun. During the photo shoot, clients are encouraged to act natural and let Cate snap candid images of real moments—neither stiffened poses nor matching Beatles suits are required. After the session, dive into a DVD slideshow of at least 25 colour and black-and-white images of you and yours looking good enough to eat, or at least to trap behind a plate of glass and preserve for all eternity. This Groupon also includes one 8"x10" print and two 5"x7" prints, ensuring a civilized but lively panel debate between home, office, and grandparents about who gets the 8"x10".
