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 presents a less complicated option: for $59, you get a one-hour on-location or in-studio photo session, plus full access and reproduction rights to 25 digital photos from your session, from LJJ Studios (a $495 value). You can choose to obtain your included digital copies either on CD or through an online gallery hosted by LJJ Studios. An extra travel rate applies for all sessions outside the greater Memphis area.

There’s always an excuse to say cheese: you’re engaged, you’re pregnant, you graduated high school, or you placed in the regional knitting finals. Even if you’re not commemorating a major milestone, you might need a professional headshot to further your career. Actresses, authors, musicians, clowns, dancers, comedians, and other performers can all benefit from quality shots. Because the location choice is up to you, you'll be able to capture not only your present physical stature, but also that of whichever beauteous landscape, backdrop, or back alley you select.

Having access and reproduction rights to your digital photos means that your images will last a lifetime or possibly for all eternity, assuming that this flash-in-the-pan computer fad continues. Likewise, you'll be able to spread some digital love via email and Facebook or pass out the analog bliss by liberally printing your photos in a variety of sizes and gigantic heart shapes for wallpapering the house of your office crush.
