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 $65, you get a 45-minute, on-location portrait sitting ($150) plus one 11”x17” print ($75) and a 10-image DVD ($95) from Stephanie Reinish Photography (a total value of $320). Your Groupon is good for a sitting of up to four subjects—additional subjects may be added for $15 each—at any location within the bounds of Central Park, Manhattan's Meatpacking District, or Long Island City's waterfront.

Stephanie Reinish captures fleeting moments and subjects’ essences with high-end, professional lenses and a low-tech, playful approach. In her years of catching naturally occurring smiles, Reinish has canvassed families, cuddly babies, and four-legged friends of all ages and phylum. Her portraits tell a story of past and present without permanently stealing the subjects’ souls, time, or pocketbooks. Across the span of your 45-minute, on-location session, feel free to test out some ideas of your own, or, if you prefer, allow her keen eye to hone in on a vibrant backdrop or adventurous pose.

After your outing of outstanding portraiture posings, you’ll select your favorite image. Armed with your 11”x17” print, you'll be ready to adorn any empty mantle and, armed with your 10-image DVD, you'll be digitally stocked for a DIY printing session or familial email blast.
