2/10/12 Sports Physical Therapy Section Awards Dinner, Location Portraits

Friday evening, 12/10/12, during a winter advisory potential snow out, FAB left extra early to ensure a proper set up at the Palmer House's Red Lacquer Room. The occasion: awards night for the Sports Therapy Section (a division of the American Physical Therapy Asscotion). Members came from all around the Nation to gather in Chicago for their annual conference.

Once onsite, our client Mary Wilkinson loved the quaint little nook in the back corner of the Red Lacquer Room, so we abandoned our old gray sweep and lit the location for magazine style portraits. She preferred the color and flair, and thought she could always just cut the subjects out of the background and put them on gray if she needed.

FAB did double duty, switching between well lit corporate podium shots of the notable speakers as well as shooting professional lit, flattering portraits of the awards winners, members of the board, and their associates.

12/9/12 WBEZ Sound Opinion's "Eat to the Beat: Stones vs. Beatles sneak-peak at Nellcote Restaurant"

Going to famous chef's restaurant openings is so mainstream. On Thursday February 9th at the WBEZ's "Eat to the Beat: Beatles vs. Stones pre-opening dinner at the Nellcote Restaurant" Fab Photo was on the scene weeks before the restaurant opens to the public.

Sound Opinions hosts Greg Kot and Jim DeRogatis invited celebrity chefs Stephanie Izzard (Girl and the Goat) and Jared Van Camp to create dishes inspired by tracks by the Beatles and Stones.

Partners Chris Dexter and Chris Freeman Have faithfully recreated the look and feel of the Nellcote, the french mansion where the Rolling Stones recorded "Exile on Main Street."

In case you're wondering who won (Beatles vs Stones), it was tie.

12/17/12 Maxim IC Analog Holiday Party at the Hancock Signature Room, 95th Floor

Fab photo was there on Saturday night December 17th 2011 downtown Chicago. Maxim Integrated Products had a party on top of the world. Maybe it wasn’t the top of the world but it was on the 95th floor of the John Hancock Tower in the palacial Signature Room.
In a room with a view of the holiday bustle of Chicago’s downtown, the frenzy of Lake Shore Drive and the serene waters of Lake Michigan, Maxim’s sales staff, spouses, and children partied with gifts, drinks, food, entertainment and Fab Photo.
Families, couples, partners and friends took their turn on the photo background. Full sized images were available later for downloads. Fab never misses a chance to get a great couples shot. It is the first one in over a decade for some couples. Fab thinks pictures make memories.

Fab photo was there on Thursday night December 15th 2011. Terlato Wines celebrated a healthy and prosperous 2011 at the Miramar Bistro, located in beautiful Highwood, IL where there is absolutely no graffiti or litter.

The celebratory mood was enhanced by an open bar followed by exceptional Italian meal and an enticing dessert table. The most exiting part of the evening for Fab was the maiden voyage of the Fab Photobooth, an updated version of the traditional do it your self portrait.

After making creative self portraits as singles and couples, employees and management squeezed together to take spontaneous group photos not possible in a tiny two person traditional photobooth. Reindeer horns, Santa and Elf hats added seasonal flare. Fab suggests you never miss a chance to photographed in a feather boa. We are party experts and know about such things
