Stephanie 2008

The other night we did a Senior Session way out on the private section of Duxbury Beach for of Stephanie along with her boyfriend. Everything went well except the minor run in with the law(Harbor Master) We were pulled over out on the dirt road along the beach cause someone waved us past them and another car told the Harbor Master we pasted the car(they were pulling over and waved us past). After that was cleared up we went out and got some great photos. Here is the multi-shot, the slideshow is coming.

My little Mozart.

So if any of you follow Gary Fong a well know wedding photographer, inventor, blogger... You probably have seen his video posts of him playing the piano, they are great but check out my little ones they rock!

Shooting for a good cause

I know I've been a blog slacker, so here is what I've been up too.
Friday Kate and I went out and shot for a great cause, A fund raiser for The Doug Flutie Foundation down in Plymouth. The Flutie Foundation aids financially disadvantaged families who need assistance in caring for their children with autism. The fund raiser was put on by Brait Builds, who I have worked for before(Check out the logo below, yours truly did that a few years back) The fund raiser went great, I don't know the amount raised but I do know that they had a record year with over 300 people there for a day of golf. I got to drive a golf cart :]

Here's Flutie Kate and I in the Golf Cart :D
LOOK THE FEDS STUDIO and the Braits logo I did COOL

Mike 2008 Slideshow

Last week we did a session with Mike a Senior over at Braintree. We had a great time, except the little group of disturbance over on the wall. Mike you still did great with the girls looking on. Here is the showit.

Trash the Dress in the news

If you haven't heard about it yet but Trashin' the Dress is one of the newest things to hit the wedding photography scene in the past few years and now it's seeing some mainstream attention. Both CNN and Good Morning America did a story on this, check them out.
There is a website by the name trashthedress.com but there is only one photographer in Massachusetts listed on their site I think The Feds Studio needs to represent. If you are interested let me know and we'll work something out and have a good time I promise ; )
You don't have to go as far as the Brides in the videos but remember there is always dry cleaning and do you really think your daughter will wear your dress? You would love to think so and I hope one of my daughter do since I spent soooooo much on my wife's dress(I don't know the exact amount, I don't want to) I've see some use their mother's dress as a tapestry on an arbor or a piece of the dress as something old, but never as their own dress.
Leave a comment and lets us know what you think about the videos or if you would like to try.

SO FUNNY! WHICH DO YOU OWN?

I got this from Perspective Eye. Check them out! Great pics!

Keep Up The Good Work.

Chris (one of our videographA's) taped a wedding this past weekend. It was an Indian wedding with plenty of cultural touches, including a night of Henna. Followed by a parade on the wedding day. I can't wait to see this video. I hear the reception was a PARTY! I just received a comment from the wedding planner for the wedding, Shelley. She said, "Chris was great. Very friendly, helpful and punctual." Keep up the good work Chris! Shelley specializes in Indian weddings and has a boutique in Boston. Check her out! Shelley Chhabra. Hopefully we'll be doing more work with her soon!

2008 Mike

Here's one of the shots from Mike's session yesterday. I'm off to work so here you go.

2008 Toni

So here is a slide show of our first official Senior Session and we will have many more in the future. Toni contacted us since no other photographer she spoke with would go out to the Forts in Hull. Of coarse we will go as all of our Senior Sessions are going to be on location with a style different to most Photographers in this area. Now these aren't your typical Senior photos, and we might not be for everyone but if this is what you like hit us up.

A fog was starting to roll in as Kate and I pulled up to the Forts. Toni was there waiting with her Dad and younger bother. We started off with the multi of Toni as seen in the last post. Through out the shoot we had some help from Toni's brother who was exploring the forts trying to find different place to shoot, till a piece of styrofoam moved on it's own(I had to check I out for myself) Toni rocked the camera and had a good time. check out the show and let me know what you think.

Live what you Love

This speech by Steve Jobs is great the second story is something I'm trying to start in my own life and I wish the same for everyone out there. I know the video is alittle long but if you have the time I think it's worth a look.

Happy 4th Of July

So, as many Americans, we went to see the local fireworks. Because the kids are a little scared of the loud boom, we stay far away from the launching site. This year we decided to stay in the parking lot across from the launching site. Besides softening the boom sound, we figured that we would beat much of the traffic too. Hey we would be the first to our car. But as you will see, there is a reason why no one stays in parking lots for fireworks!!!!! Hey whose ever car this is.... nice job! Please, please, please do not set your car alarm if you are parking within 5 miles of fireworks. DUH! But other than the idiocy of others, we still had a great time. We hope you did too! Happy B-day America!
