Before professional photographers, it was the family dog’s job to herd his owners in front of the camera and execute the rule of thirds. Give border collies a break with today’s Groupon from Susie Soleimani Photography. Choose between the following options:

• For $99, you get a one-hour on-location photography session with a digital album (a $300 value).

• For $199, you get a two-hour on-location photography session with a digital album (a $600 value).</p>

Both options are valid for a maximum of five people, and transportation costs are included for areas within the District of Columbia. Outside of the district, transportation costs are $50 per every 10 miles.

Photographer Susie Soleimani snaps, clear, colorful, and candid images of life’s precious moments. The one- or two-hour shoot can be used to supply hometown newspapers with engagement evidence or to document the bride and groom once the big day has finally arrived. Once babies, birthdays, or tear-jerking dog adoptions have been carefully edited, they are uploaded to an online gallery where friends and family can both swoon over their loved ones and question their fashion choices. Susie Soleimani will post selected watermarked photos to albums on Facebook and tag subjects, if desired. Clients and everybody the album is shared with receive $5 off one print of their choice, as well as the option of converting the pictures from black and white to Oz.
