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.

Andrew Sterling in Mill Pond Music Studio

Last year, producer Joe Deleault invited me into the recording studio to photograph Andrew Sterling as he finished his album. We spent a few hours in Jim Prendergast's Mill Pond Music Studio in Portsmouth, NH, reviewing previous results, recording a few more tracks, and watching Andrew and Jim work. The environment was relaxed yet technically precise, and everyone ended the day pleased with the results.

Emily DeJulio, vocalist

Emily and I have known each other for many years. Besides being a willing subject, she's a tremendous performer on stage or behind a microphone. While I'd photographed her many times in plays and musicals, this session from a years ago was our first in the studio.

Kelly Powers

I've gotten to know NYC-based jazz pianist and educator Kelly Powers and her music over the past few years. She's talented, friendly, and easy to photograph. These were made recently at a brief session.

Joe Deleault

Joe and I have been friends for years. Back in February, he invited me to a studio recording session in Portsmouth. This portrait was made at the end of the day.
