Due to the time-consuming nature of political accession, gluing your portrait to a piece of currency is still the quickest way to become any nation's head of state. Eschew direct elections with today's Groupon: for $49, you get one family or children's portrait session at Elcheshen's Photography Studio (a $268.80 value).

For 30 years, award-winning photographer Fred Elcheshen and his team have dished out family portrait photography in a professional setting. Each children's or family portrait session with Elcheshen will yield one 8"x10" float-wrap print, ideal for wall hanging, mantel mounting, or taking up space in a roomy 8"x10" wallet. Though location shoots are possible (sessions outside Winnipeg may be subject to an extra fee), Elcheshen's ample studio rolls out a varied selection of background choices, including plain white, earthy brown, and retired computer screen savers. Additional products and services, such as custom framing, albums, and gift folios, are also available for purchase or perusal at the studio.
