It was great to have Nicole come to our apartment to do a photo shoot with our new baby. Booking…read morewas super easy--you do it through the website and I was able to reschedule my session with no problem. Pricing is great especially for the quality and the photos you get. I sent them to a friend who had already booked her own newborn photo shoot and she said she regretted putting down a deposit with another photographer because she loved Nicole's style! We don't take a lot of photos and are pretty camera-shy, but Nicole was very helpful and gently guided us on what to do and made us feel free to try out different things. She was very gracious during our session and even went a little over time because we had to feed the baby in the middle of it. Photos came back within two weeks and we're very happy with them. Definitely will be recommending to my friends and hope to book Nicole again!

To start, the booking process was incredibly easy through her website and she was easily able to help reschedule my session (both the date and location!) over email. I felt very comfortable with her as soon as the session started and she walked me through what our time would look like. The gallery is incredible; I haven't loved photos of myself this much in years! I will be recommending Nicole to anyone in need of a photographer in the Boston area. It was so worth the investment!

I have been here a few times. The pictures they take really come out great. The photographers have…read morealways been really good with my kids. That said, it's pretty disorganized and takes FOREVER. This past time they started 30 minutes late, which is annoying since then we were late to our next activity. After the session, he said it would take 10 minutes which really was 10. Their phone was bringing and multiple vendors made deliveries and they always stopped to deal with that. Even when he was showing me my photos he stopped to interrupt the people next to us and ultimately get up and walk away. Then he proceeded to try to upsell me as if he didn't just rudely walk away. The picture people closed so we went here again. Overall it took 2.5 hours to do what could have been done in 1 hour. They need someone to manage the place. Answer the phones so you can deal with the customers sitting there in front of them.

I am never going back to this place where I have to interact with Rude individuals like Tony.

I have been here 7/8 times over the past 5 years and I generally have a good photographer. The women is very good with kids, patient and good at getting them to smile.

Good prices, good pictures and good customer service. Definitely recommend

Kate and her assistant were phenomenal to work with on our newborn photoshoot! The shots turned out…read morefar better than we had hoped, and we ended up with such precious portraits of our baby (and we even like the photos with us in them, she was able to help us capture and very lightly touch up some where we don't look like sleep deprived zombies). Even more, the process itself was very enjoyable and will be a fun memory for us as our first time out of the house as a family. We appreciated all the safety precautions taken, and felt very comfortable the whole time. I would highly recommend Crabapple Photography.

I absolutely LOVE the Feds. We used them for our wedding photography and they have exceeded my…read moreexpectations every time I interacted with them. We got to know them when they did our "Love Shoot" which they offered for free with our package. It was a great way to get to know them so we felt comfortable on the big day. James and Kate are high school sweethearts who are SO much fun to be around. We had a blast with them for the few hours we were shooting around the city. The pics from the love shoot turned out SO amazing - and mind you I was SICK that day so if you can make me look GOOD when I'm really feeling TERRIBLE then you get double props from me - but the pics were so amazing that I couldn't wait for our wedding day and to see the pictures from the wedding day. I knew they would do an AWESOME job of capturing everything for me - which is saying something because I'm photo-addicted. I think i took like 2000 pictures during our honeymoon - MAYBE more! So I'm big on pictures. I haven't seen my proofs yet (but they will be ready soon!!), but here's something I've never seen done before and I LOVED IT. The Feds did some quick edits from before the reception (getting ready, bridal party pics, etc) and had them on a slide show during the reception. Every picture I saw on the slide show was amazing. I'm not kidding you - I stood there and each one that came up I was like OMG I love that one! Every. Single. Time. I can't recommend them enough. They are fantastic.

Most of you who are reading this are looking for a photographer and have no idea why one is better…read morethan the other. We had no clue what to look for, but a stack of contacts from Newbury Street that was given by friends of ours. We wanted contemporary work; our parents wanted the normal family shots. We wanted art; our parents wanted conservative shots. With The Feds you will get the best of each world. We were astonished how many different aspects they caught of our wedding. There wasnt anyone that didnt say "wow", "amazing", "astonishing", "unreal", "who did your pictures?", "that should be in a magazine". And that was only for some of our highlight pictures! We just cant wait to show them the other 600+! Lets start from the beginning: Part of the package that they do is called a "love shoot". They will travel wherever you would like around the area and take pre wedding engagement pictures. Dont waste your time trying to say you dont need it, because that in itself was worth the investment. We cant tell you how much fun we had getting to know them! We are not people that enjoy having our pictures taken either, and we were nervous before the shoot. James and Kate changed that within seconds of showing up. 100 pictures later (which takes about 10 minutes by the way that they shoot; think Hollywood red carpet...)and we were laughing together and smiling like we had known them since we were kids. We must have been shooting for 4 hours and now have the best pre wedding pictures a couple could ask for. An amazing experience... more on this later in review... But it doesnt end there... We didnt know what to expect when they showed up the day of the wedding. But when we say professional, we mean professional. Both dressed in black, and both decked out like Rambo with camera gear. They were covering every angle, view, and person while being invisible, yet interactive during the ceremony. When we arrived to the reception they immediately kicked into family and bridal party picture mode. We thought it might take an hour just to bang through all the normal pics, but The Feds orchestrated each picture like Holtz's Planets and we were on to bride and groom pictures in no time. Ahh yes, now comes the fun. Next thing we know Kate is driving a golf cart with James holding on for dear life snapping shots as we drove down the 18th fairway at Worcester Country Club. Kate was always looking around for a new location, a different angle, or taking shots, while James was lying in tall grass or balancing between rocks and a pond just to get another perspective. It was so much fun, and a great break from the chaos of the wedding. Now if I didnt convince you that the love shoot was already an amazing part of The Feds experience; this should do it. At the reception they printed out hundreds of copies of the best love shoot pictures for people to take home with them from the reception. Think of it as another favor for your guests! As the Guinness commercials say... BRILLIANT! The Feds surprises don?t end there either. During their break, they reviewed some of the best shots of Tara getting ready and the ceremony. They then put a slide show out on an Apple Ibook with a signup sheet for family and guests to be notified when the pictures were ready to be purchased online. We had a fantastic band which drew quite a crowd, but that laptop drew an impressive crowd as well! Even when it was time to cut the cake; We had no clue what we were doing. But James and Kate guided us through the process like Cliff Notes. We dont know what we would have done without them there. Oh, did we mention that Kate was 7 months pregnant at the time and on her feet for 11 hours? She was AMAZING for what she had to carry around all day! If you are not sold after reading this review you already made a mistake. Stop wasting time looking for a photographer and just contact The Feds. This will be the best investment you have ever made for your special day. Not only were we blown away by their work, professionalism, and personalities; but being able to relive our wedding day over and over for years to come. They bring true meaning to "a picture can say a thousand words". And after 800+ or so pictures... Thats a lot of words.

She was great at getting back to me if I had questions, had wonderful suggestions for me along the way having just planned her own wedding, and made working with her fun and easy with lunch dates to plan and sweet surprises in the mail.

She was professional throughout the whole planning process, she came out early to scope out the scene and was perfectly on time and ready on the day of. She was all over the place catching every single moment but she still managed to blend in with the scenery. April loves what she does and it absolutely shows in her attitude and her work.

Our baby was a bit fussy when she got here but she was patient and tried to get as many shots in between his cries, and then while I fed him she worked on setting up shots in the house and patio so we were good to go as soon as he calmed down. Once the baby was milk-drunk, we were able to really go to town and she got some incredible shots in! April was super sweet (she clearly loves babies!) but also really sharp. There was never an awkward moment (like, hmm what should we do next?). She was in charge and we all felt very relaxed as she guided us through each shot. She sent me 5 pictures as a sneak peek a few hours after the shoot and I've been flipping through them over and over all afternoon. Each one deserves to be in a magazine, I swear! I could not recommend April enough. Can't wait to have her capture our little one's big milestones in the future!

Do not hire for your wedding. Ruined all of my wedding photos,horrible photographer!!! First of…read moreall, all of the photos he took were too light and washed out the paler folks and the bottom of my dress. I gave him a list of who I wanted in the photos because he asked me to and on your wedding day there is so much going on it is tough to try to organize that too. So my sister in law was left out and so were my cousins. Also Jim never told me it anyone else that we weren't smiling or looking at the camera, seriously, so there are a bunch of wasted photos. He told me to hold my bouquet in a certain spot, which was right in front of my expensive sash that I bought. And then when we were supposed to receive the prints, he never sent any and never returned our emails or phone calls. Three months later I receive two disks with his watermark on each picture and no prints and no photo book as was promised. So on top of what we had already paid for, I had to pay for all my own photos which all have his name on them and are way too light in color. Please do not use his service for your wedding. Bottom line, he took horribly light photos with people not even looking, took way past the deadline to deliver and did not even give any prints, and won't return emails or phone calls once he has been paid and works on other projects before finishing yours.

We've received a sneak peek of the images from the shoot, and we're over the moon already! As a photographer and photo editor, Stephen is extremely talented. The samples on his website show his range of experience across different dimensions (weather conditions, different times of day, indoor vs outdoor locations). We found that his experience certainly translated to the images we've received back so far. His framing is thoughtful, and he makes fantastic use of lighting and the location in the moment! Before the session, I got to see Stephen go above and beyond with his thoughtfulness, flexibility, and professionalism. From the moment we agreed on the date and time, Stephen patiently corresponded with me over the weeks prior. He would always reply in a timely manner and was willing to share his wealth of experience. He was able to advise about locations I was considering, even sharing helpful sample photographs to help me make a more informed decision. As the weather forecast fluctuated in the week prior, he even helped me prepare for adverse weather scenarios and even helped iron out back up locations/plans. During the session, my partner and I found Stephen's collaborative nature extremely impressive. He helped set up for the shoot before hand, and he made my partner feel extremely comfortable throughout the session. He struck an excellent balance between giving us recommendations for things to try and allowing us to be ourselves. We were a bit nervous for our first photoshoot together, but there was absolutely no reason to be! We can't wait to receive our full set of images, and we'd love to work with him again for photos in the future! Anyone looking for a photographer will be in INCREDIBLE hands with Stephen!
