VerveMedia Photo+Video’s creative duo Dana and Cory Davis capture flattering, intimate photos and videos of subjects both in their studio and on location. Before 60-minute shoots, deft fingers tame tresses and apply mascara, lipstick, and prosthetic elf ears to make subjects more photogenic. The shutterbugs’ friendly, encouraging energy sets nerves at ease as ladies tap into their inner vixen and mug for the camera wearing two different ensembles. After shoots, five high-resolution digital images head home, enhanced with professional retouching services that improve images by photoshopping the Leaning Tower of Pisa into backgrounds.

With the photo and video shoot package, clients show their sexy side as a videographer shoots two–three minutes of footage, which is set to the model’s choice of yodeling or polka music before it’s uploaded to a password-protected gallery. Groupon holders can spend their $100 credit to acquire the video in digital form ($150 for mid def, $200 for high def, $250 for HD full def) or snag digital copies of photos from the shoot ($5 for low resolution, $10 for original resolution, $7 for high resolution). Smaller prints ($2.50 for 4”x6”, $5.50 for 5”x7”) slip easily into nightstand frames, and larger prints ($10.75 for 8”x10”) can elevate the charm of any mantle, hallway, or sturdy sweater vest.
