Before photography, the only way people could preserve their most treasured memories was by forcing everyone around them to stand completely still for days at a time. Today's Groupon gives you a less-complicated option: for $37, you get a 90-minute point-and-shoot photography class (a $75 value) at Kate Byars Photography in Loring Heights. You must bring your own point-and-shoot camera to class.

The 90-minute class explores uncharted menus and features of the camera while helping students develop a broader understanding of lighting and image composition. With a few golden guidelines, you won't have to splurge on a fancy camera made out of old computer parts and tinfoil. Use your existing picture-capturer to capture the true essence of the beach on your next vacation, softly light an upcoming family portrait, or frame a new profile pic that leaves onlookers begging for more brow. Check out the class schedule.

Kate limits her point-and-shoot class sizes to 15 people in order to provide personal attention to her students and their diverse range of point-and-shoot cameras. Kate's quirky yet confident shooting style allows her to intelligently implement her lens while connecting personally with her subjects and students.
