Michelle's favorite picture.  The sheet music is piano for Ben Fold's, "The Luckiest."

Kitchen Shots

I took these pictures in my parents' kitchen in Illinois.  I was bored as we were trying to figure out what to do one day so I grabbed a couple decorations off their mantel for the macros and found some birds out the kitchen window.

The red-headed woodpecker might be horrible to have around the house but it sure was pretty.

The cardinals were a little fat... I think they're getting too much food!

Schumacher Wedding

I was recently blessed with the opportunity of attending the wedding of my closest childhood friend.  Mark and I were inseparable as kids and have remained close to this day.  Mark married the love of his life, Meredith, at Immanuel Lutheran Church in East Dundee, Illinois.  The church is very special to me as Mark and I attended the school there from kindergarten through eighth grade.  I stood up in the wedding but I was also able to sneak away at times to get a few pictures.  The entire night was great and I'm so thankful I was there to celebrate.  Congratulations guys from Michelle, Austin, and me!

Schuldt Wedding

My brother got married this past weekend outside of Akron, OH.  I was very honored to be the best man but I did have some time to get a few pictures.  Here's some of my favorites :)  Congratulations you two!

Engagement Ring

I spent some time today practicing for pictures to take at my brother's wedding in a couple months.  I really love close up photography and I finally took some time to work on my manual focus skills.  Live view works wonders for seeing where you're focusing!
