Quality photos leave the subjects looking their best, unlike mouth-staining popsicles and confrontational Christmas-shopping tussles. Show yourself in more pleasant light with today's Groupon: for $59, you get a 30-minute photography session and prints (a $123 value) at Heirloom Photography LLC on West Orange Grove Road. Pro photosmith Michelle Kilander gives Grouposers the choice of a classic indoor session or a creative outdoor shoot, where various photogenic backdrops include a vintage pickup truck, a western-style barn, and a fallen star. After sitting solo or with as many as four fellow humans, models will receive one 11"x14", two 5"x7" prints, eight wallet-sized editions, and a digital file of a favorite frame. Today's deal also gets you 21 days of secure Internet storage, so you can virtually visit your photos, plus a 25% discount on any studio package or à la carte purchase.
