Mandy and Steve got married at Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church in Green Bay WI on May 20th. It was important for Steve's family that he get married in his Military Dress Uniform. Mandy and Steve decided to do a first look. It was the perfect idea, right after the first look and few photos it started raining. Then continued raining the rest of the day.

Want to see life with 5 children under 5 ? Look at the Hendricks family. Marni and Brian were one of my first clients 6 years ago for their maternity session with McKenna. In the last 6 years I've tried to plan a couples date night so we can go out for sushi and martini's but every time I try to plan something... Marni was pregnant..again! I've even suggested sneaking wine in the hospital after she delivered one of the babies, because I knew within 6 weeks she'd probably be pregnant again.

Read MoreDoctors Park Milwaukee Engagement Photos | Tara & Zack
Soooo many amazing photos from Tara and Zack's Milwaukee engagement session at Doctors Park! I had the hardest time deciding the photos to share on this blog post so ... I'm over sharing!
Zack and Tara met at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. They met at a friend's birthday dinner and the very next day they both went on the same trip to Chicago through an accounting organization. Zack and Tara found out that they were both trying to get into the same masters of accountancy program. Over the next several months while Zack and Tara were getting to know each other, Tara woo-ed him with her baking abilities. They hung out constantly, but never talked about dating until a few months later. Zack said "Would you consider us dating?" and Tara replied "yeah" and that was that. They spent then next two years in all the same accounting classes and coincidentally got offers to intern at the same accounting firm in Chicago. Now they have been working at that same firm for almost two and a half years together.
