Puggin in Boston

Yet another Boston pug last night, one of the largest I've been to. Let hope we have a bigger one next month, cause there is some cool stuff planned if the is big.
Last night Kate and I headed in to Boston to join our hosts Matt and Enna for a night of Chocolate and wine in honor of V-day.

Our special guests Justin and Mary Marantz came up from CT(even though they were in TN just a day before) to hang out, talk business and spread the love. Paul and Krystal from Studio Foto( out of CT)were also there. It was cool finally meeting them as we have share links on blog posts from each other(One reason why blogs are so cool, you get to know people then meet them.) It's a little backwards but cool :)

Kate and I also got to meet Shyla, a photographer who just recently moved out to MA from the west coast(I think you will love it here, Kate says winter sucks and she wants to live where the sun is)

We had a few shots but I think the ps is out in the car and it's raining so here is a photo I took from Justin and Marys Blog of Krystral, Mary, Justin Kate and I, just before we walked out the door around midnight(Ya I look a little tired, up at 7 tomorrow :)) I know Matt took a few shots he'll probably have up on his blog so your can check over there.
More to come later. Tonight Doug came by and we had some fun shooting out in the garage since it was pouring out. I'll post some photo later and I know he will be posting outtakes lol.

Shoot Q Shoot Q Shoot Q

Shoot Q. shoot q! Shoot Q. SHOOT Q. shoot Q

It's ok if you don't get it, if you do you've seen the videos they did at the trade shows :)


We got 1 yaaa! I'm pretty psyched about this. Shoot Q is a studio management software that is going to help us, help all of you with your experience with The Fed's. We are working on getting everything setup and this program rocks! It is a web base software that enables us to track clients, accept online payment, sign agreements electronically, track product management, workflows and so much more. If you didn't get in on this deal I'm sure they we be offering more in the future, so go get on their list to receive their newsletter to find out when it's available again.

We can't wait till it is all setup and we are serving you better.

Just got back from our Boston Pug, Sweet!! I'll post tomorrow.

Crazy week and new stuff

Where does time go? I haven't posted in a week even though so much has gone on this past week, sorry.

The last weeks happenings this is not even the half of it.
One week ago today: I got our new wedding site up and have gotten some great feed back. Thanks everyone. I'm still going to add a lot more photos, most likely tomorrow. So check back and tell everyone you know.

Wednesday: I shot team photos for Archies swim team. I even got to take a few action shots while they swam. I played around with some strobes putting them around the pool and prayed they didn't get soaked.

Thursday: Something must have happened just a blur.

Friday Night: Family night at Nana's(my mother) house. The girls look forward to this all week long. We even did a little video chat with my two little nephews. Annabelle was so excited to see her cousins.

Saturday: I download a free trail of InDesign and I love it. I think this year I'll be doing our album designs with InDesign. special thanks to Kevin Swan for putting together a quick start video for album design in InDesign, and it was sweet. Within a few hours I feel pretty comfortable with the program and looks like this is how we will design albums for now on since online builders aren't that great if additional retouching is requested. With online builders you need to upload design, re-upload, re-design... just turns out to be a crazy process unless every photo gets re-touched before uploading proofs (that would take like one hundred hours:))

Sunday: We went out and did a little location scouting and picked up a background so we can do some shooting inside during these cold days we are having. So you can expect some photos of the kids :)

Monday: See the next post later today, some more new stuff.

Pug Meeting tonight with Justin and Mary Montage a husband and wife photography team from CT speaking. I can't wait to hear what they have in store, I know it's going to be good.

O I had this picture I wanted to post and quote Mike Colon "Get in over your head and swim to the top" A little help is always good, so be someone's lifeguard and lend a hand when needed.

New Wedding Photography Site

Hey everyone our new wedding photography website is up. Head on over to www.thefedsstudio.com to check it out. I'm adding new photos this week and should have everything ironed out by the weekend.


A BIG thanks to Big Folio for the hookup on the site. Big Folio sponsored The Revolution this past fall and gave away the site and hosting, Sweet!

Go Vote

Ya I don't have much to say 'bout the Pats :( but I guess I'll send out a Congrats to Manning and the Giants.

Since the Super Bowl is now behind us and there is no parting around Boston I would just like to remind everyone in MA and all the other states that vote on Super Tuesday get out and vote.


Here is a Music Video from one of my favorite bands while in High School Big D and The Kids Table from Boston.
