Before photography, people preserved moments by luring them into vats of dry ice or into phone booths filled with wet cement. Explore instant memory making sans industrial gloves with today's Groupon: for $60, you get a one-hour photo session, an 11"x14" print, three professionally edited digital images, and a CD with your photo shoot images from Crestina Photography (a $120 value).

Experienced photographer Crestina Martins combines caring consultations with her fresh, spontaneous shooting style to bring out subjects' best. Invite up to four photogenic friends or family members to square off in smile-holding contests for the chance to immortalize mugs on location anywhere within Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, or Guelph. Before every photo session, expert shutter snapper Crestina takes time to consult with clients, working toward a common vision and fulfilling aesthetic requests, such as properly posing in front of a favourite tree, or appearing in images to actually be that tree. After the session, Crestina whisks away time-frozen memory pixels to produce three professionally edited digital shots on a CD along with the rest of the shoot's masterpieces. She'll also edit a photo of your choosing for frame-worthy featuring as an 11"x14" print. Check out Martin's portraiture page to view the breadth of her photographic style, light lassoing prowess, and aesthetics-wrangling aptitude.
