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 $85, you get $275 worth of photography services at Robert Wood Photography in Layton.

Snapping photos since 1965, Robert Wood Photography invites portraiture-seeking patrons to pose amid the manicured grounds or comfortable interior of its restored Victorian mansion studio. Robert’s son, experienced photographer Chris Wood, now helms the snaptastic ship, who specializes in both portrait and wedding photography. Bring the family to have portraits taken on the serene, two-acre estate with its carefully landscaped grounds, bridges, ponds, barns, waterfall, and its 1945 Farmall tractor, on which kids love to play and reenact dramatic scenes from the Dust Bowl. Family packages start at $200, plus an additional $75 sitting fee, and include one 11"x14" print and three 8"x10" prints, all retouched and enhanced to highlight the family’s best features. A-la-carte prints are also available for order with a variety of print sizes, ranging from 5"x7" ($25) and wallets ($45 for eight) to 11"x14" ($115), 16"x20" ($225), and beyond. Wedding packages start at $1,400, though they can be customized to different prices.
