Like fireworks, newborn babies attract lots of attention, frighten most pets, and should always be pointed away from the body when they're about to go off. Flaunt your little firecracker with today’s Groupon: for $49, you get a 45-minute newborn-photography session and print package at Photogenesis Photography (a $145 value).

Husband-and-wife duo Mike and Barb Priestap specialize in immortalizing cherished family memories on film. A newborn-portrait session (a $60 value), valid for children up to 12 months old, documents a family’s newest addition with high-quality images for birth announcements, scrapbooks, and proof that a baby, and not nachos, caused the belly bulge these past months. Photogenesis’s city studio hosts elegant formal portraits, and the Waterford country locale's breathtaking scenery, including a fishing pond, pine trees, and goldenrod field beautifully complement relaxed snapshots. Up to three siblings and the family pet join in the soul-stealing festivities, creating a perfect opportunity for a mantel-worthy photo of the baby all cuddled up to your school of pet piranhas.

Following the 45-minute photo shoot, review color and black-and-white images on a private, online gallery or during a personal viewing session. The package of prints includes one 5”x7” collage print of up to two images (a $41 value), eight wallet images of one pose (a $25 value), and one digital image (a $19 value) perfect for printing on T-shirts, mugs, and early preschool presidential-campaign materials. Though not included in this Groupon, additional prints may be purchased from the studio’s special price list.
