Here are some photos from the concert this past friday night. Bethany Dillon opened up the night, followed by hard-rocking Santus Real. Then Steven took over the night put on a show. He made me a believer that you can never be too old to party like an animal for Jesus. 
This is just a quick update as I have another wedding to shoot this afternoon. Friday night I was asked to photograph Steven Curtis Chapman’s concert here in Chicago. I was really excited about this as Steven Curtis Chapman is one of my personal heroes. He’s a guy that lives out what he preaches. I respect him because he uses his gifts and talents to touch other’s lives rather than bringing glory to himself. It has been awhile since I seen him in concert and I wasn’t sure if he will still be able to perform at the level that he used to. But boy was I wrong. He put on a show friday night and it was awesome to shoot him in action. By the way what was also neat about him is that his 2 sons are part of his band now (drummer and guitarist). How cool is that?
I will post the images from the concert as soon as I can catch up with work (who knows when that will be). After today’s wedding shoot, I’m heading out to NYC for a workshop and an engagement shoot. But I wanted to posted these two photos:
I really wanted to take a photo with Steven as he’s one of my heroes. Notice anything different about me? Yes, I’m sporting metal braces. I got them on the same day as the concert and I’m still getting used to them. Ouch.
I was able to invite some of my friends to the show. I was glad to see them have a great time! 
Steven’s new album comes out this month. Go check it out!
By the way, I am really sad that I missed out on all the fun at our church’s MINI-O’s this year. This was the first mini-o’s I ever missed since it first started back in the early 90′s! Can people send me some links to the photos from the event? I love my job but on the downside, I miss seeing all my friends back at my home church (CFC). Hope everyone is doing well.
