Without photographs, the only way to cherish an absent loved one would be to tattoo their social-insurance number on your forehead. Keep ink off your head with today's Groupon: for $49, you get one 45-minute photo session (a $175 value) with private online viewing gallery (a $90 value) and 8"x10" print (a $60 value) at Vixen Boudoir & Pin Up Studio in Coldstream (a $325 total value).

Vixen Boudoir & Pin Up Studio empowers women of all ages and body types with tasteful boudoir and pin-up-style portraits. Professional photographer Ashley Duggan cultivates an open, welcoming studio and begins each experience with a get-to-know-you session, during which clients discuss likes and dislikes, voice hopes for the shoot, and retell the story of their birth. Each shoot may contain two costume changes, and clients combine personal wardrobe pieces (bringing three to six outfits is suggested) with Vixen Budoir's accessories, such as feather boas and pearl necklaces. After posing, women can view their pictures in a private online gallery and select one image to be immortalized in an 8"x10" print, ideal for taping inside the lunchbox of a significant other.
