Though everyone likes the look of a glossy loved one, few can afford human lamination. Shine up your darlings with today's Groupon: for $79, you get an in-studio photography session (a $225 value) and a 25-image CD with copyright release (a $125 value), including one retouched digital image (a $25 value), at Paul Marcus Photos in Round Rock (a $375 total value).

The professional shutterbugs at Paul Marcus Photos capture timeless images of each person in front of the camera lens, creating memories to be enjoyed for years to come. Up to six people or poltergeists can come together to model their way through a one-hour in-studio photo shoot, receiving friendly tips, posing suggestions, and demonstrations of proper eyebrow waving along the way. For an extra fee, nature-loving families can choose to vogue in an outdoor locale.

After the shutterbugging session, portrait participants receive a CD with 25 full-resolution images, one fully edited photo of their choice, and a copyright release. Snaps can then be printed in 8"10" or 4"x6" sizes at will, alleviating the loneliness of empty mantels and weeping bare walls. Paul Marcus Photos also provides a personalized one-month link to their Internet gallery for online picture perusal, allowing families to scroll through two dimensions of smiles at lightning speed.
