Downtown Milwaukee Lakefront Mini Family Session

It was great seeing this bunch again! Parents Whitney + David and their adorable littles, Austin + Nora, coordinated their outfits perfectly: a nautical inspired color palette that worked really well with the blues and grays of the cityscape, lake and sky. We met up near Harbor House along Milwaukee’s lakefront for their family mini session. These peanuts are just full of energy and smiles, and it was fun capturing their playful personalities and all the love between this sweet family. Thank you for the honor!
