Photographers preserve subjects’ precious memories, abolishing the need to hastily scoop reflections out of nearby fountains. Seek permanence with today’s Groupon: for $55, you get a photo-shoot package from Laura Kelly Photography (a $260 total value). The package includes:

• Up to two-hour on-location photo shoot (a $200 value)that includes:
• Private online photo gallery

• 20 edited images on DVD
  
  

• Two 8”x10” and four 5”x7” prints (a $60 value)

This Groupon is valid for on-site photo shoots in Kanata, Nepean, Orleans, and Ottawa. Additional areas less than 50 kilometres outside of Ottawa can be booked for an additional $20 fee.

Laura Kelly focuses on candid fun as she aims her Nikon lenses on the beaming faces of mothers-to-be, fiancés, and entire families. For up to two hours, a group of subjects can pose for approximately 100 photos within the intimate confines of their own panic room or in the verdant gardens of an unsuspecting neighbor. One week after the shoot, couples can peek at their engagement photographs, and children can revel in their ability to navigate a mouse as they peruse an online gallery displaying each frozen moment. Laura then professionally edits 20 favoured images, burns them to DVD, and mails them one month later, along with full rights to print out high-resolution copies. Subjects choose up to three photos to convert into professional-quality 8”x10”s and 5”x7”s and stuff into time capsules.
