Without photography, children would never believe their parents’ claims that they were once cool, and photo-finish horse races would have to be decided by subjecting the equines to a polygraph. Relish the invention of snapshots with today’s Groupon: for $59, you get a photo session, a CD of 50–70 edited images, plus 30% off prints from Crystal Abadie Photography (a $250 value). This Groupon is valid at the following locations: Fannin Street in Houston, Kingwood, and Humble.

Seasoned shutterbug Crystal Abadie snaps artistic, candid, and emotive photos of her subjects during personalized shoots brimming with fun and laughs. During the one-hour session, individuals or groups of up to six people pose for natural portraits captured in Crystal’s photojournalist style. Shortly after the shoot, customers will receive a CD filled with 50–70 digital images, including original copyrights, that can be emailed to family members, posted on Facebook, or printed out and taped to the industrial fridge at Denny’s. Crystal carefully edits each image to enhance contrast and dimensions, removing unwanted features such as red eye and inserting bionic limbs where necessary. Groupon customers also enjoy a 30% discount when purchasing prints.
