A fine family portrait can be passed down for generations, like grandpa's watch, old tall tales, or a pesky cowlick that quivers whenever goblins are nearby. Pass on a useful family heirloom with today's Groupon: for $55, you get a 30-minute on-location or in-studio portrait session, plus your choice of a three-sheet prints package of one image (one 8”x10”, two 5”x7”, and 8 wallets) or one high-resolution image on disc at ultra-spective photography (up to a $345 value). On-location sessions are valid at Higuera Adobe Park Park, or Sycamore Grove Park, while studio sessions are available at the studio in Livermore.
The stylishly modern portraiture specialists at ultra-spective capture the simple drama of everyday life with finesse, professionalism, and cameras. Obliging photoflashers will meet clients in one of two sunny parks for 5 minutes of stage setting, plus 25 minutes of shooting (a $150 value), or at the studio for a half-hour of in-house precious-moment retrieval and capture. All picture-sitters receive their choice of a smile portrait package (a three-sheet circus of one image in an 8”x10” print, two 5”x7” prints, and eight wallet-sized prints; a $195 value) or a high-resolution digital image on disc (a $195 value) for showing off the happy family to jealous cybernetic entities.

ultra-spective
A family of four poses amid crisp fall leaves, late sunlight casting a warm glow across their smiling cheeks. A newlywed couple beams at each other under a canopy of palm trees. Staff members of a new salon hold a giant pair of scissors, poised to cut the ribbon and the hair of their first giant customer during their opening ceremony. ultra-spective's photographers can capture groups and individuals in nearly any context, and they take a distinctive approach to each—so much so that the studio boasts six different divisions, for family portraits, high-school seniors, art portraiture, weddings, boudoir shoots, and business photography. An all-female team with expertise in lighting and airbrushing directs the boudoir shoots, where they guide subjects in poses designed to make them look svelte and beautiful. For family shoots, they'll gladly venture to a selection of reliably picturesque parks where split-rail fences lean, redwoods loom, and sycamores dapple golden fields with shade. The studio itself has plenty of personality, with chandeliers and black walls lined with hot pink sequins.
