portraits from TEDxAmoskeagMillyard 2013: the presenters

Continuing yesterday's post: these presenters (the host, speakers, and artists) excelled in their respective tasks. I didn't want to ask them for a portrait prior to being on stage: some were clearly (and understandably) nervous, so being relaxed and open to a portrait would have been difficult or even impossible. The one exception to this was the host Virginia Prescott: being a host for NHPR, I knew she'd be comfortable on stage; and she'd be occupied all day, so she became one of my first subjects.

I'm grateful to everyone who agreed to sit for me during a full and hectic schedule. The entire experience of the TEDx conference—the people, the presentations, the portraits—made for an unforgettable day.

The full set of portraits is also available on my website.

portraits from TEDxAmoskeagMillyard 2013: the team

When I photographed the 2013 TEDxAmoskeagMillyard conference, I had realized the night prior what a wonderful opportunity I had to create portraits of the volunteer speakers, performers, and organizers. So decided at the last minute to bring a small portable studio to the event, find a few square feet of space, and work like mad to cover the event and to spend just a few precious minutes tracking down each of them, explaining the idea, and making a few frames.

Here are some of superb teamwho worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that the day was seamless. Tomorrow I'll post the presenters.

A wonderful family and a great, relaxed session:

Wedding Mass at Saint Anselm Abbey

I've photographed this annual Wedding Mass at Saint Anselm Abbey celebrating the anniversaries of married couples for a few years. This one saw nearly 400 New Hampshire couples, all of whom have been married for at least 25 years. Bishop Peter Libasci celebrated the Mass. The afternoon was certainly inspiring.

Kathryn & Sam, engaged

I've known Kathryn for a few years, after I met her (and Sam) at her sister's wedding. When she and Sam became engaged earlier this year, they called to book me. We made these engagement portrait (and some others) a few months ago. Everyone is excited for their wedding next year, and I'm honored to be making photographs for their families again.

album cover for En Route's debut

Brother and sister folk duo Jon and Alana Babineau of En Route came to the studio a couple months ago to photograph the cover of their debut album. These two have a maturity and sound beyond their years. We had a great session, and, this being also my first album cover, I'm very pleased the results.

Their album release party is tonight at Amoskeag Studio.

TEDxAmoskeagMillyard: Mindset

I was grateful to have been the official photographer for last year's TEDxAmoskeagMillyard conference. The presenters and performers were informative, entertaining, and especially inspiring. In anticipation for this year's conference, my results are just being released. I've included a few favorites here; a full set will be on their site.

In the coming days, I'll be posting other work from that day—but more on that then.
