Before photography, family memories were kept alive through annual reenactments of the year's best moments, despite Grandpa's continued miscasting as the mischievous puppy. Treasure your memories with today's Groupon: for $75, you get a one-hour on-location photo shoot and five high-resolution images on a CD from Laura Leyshon Photography (a $500 value).

An editorial photographer who has been published in national and international publications including the Globe and Mail and Sweden's national daily newspaper, Laura Leyshon has developed an eye that captures her subjects' rawness and vibrancy. After a complimentary phone consultation, Leyshon dispatches herself and her camera to the client's choice of location for a one-hour photography session for up to five family members or friends (a $300 value). After an hour of shooting subjects romping on the beach or posing in front of a neighbour's nicer house, Leyshon uploads low-resolution versions of every photo to an online gallery. Clients can then peruse the pics and pick out five favourites, which are edited and loaded as high-resolution images onto a CD (a $200 value). Service area includes anywhere within Vancouver; locations beyond the city limits or below the earth's crust are charged an additional $1.00 per kilometre.
