We love photographing these kinds of in-home family portraits. There is something so peaceful about being invited into one's homes and documenting them in their natural environment. We felt as though we could take our time, settle into cozy positions, and enjoy the company of their precious family. And all the while we were photographing them as they were and capturing this sweet stage of life for them to remember forever.

It was a beautiful morning to wander down to the lake to capture the Whitbeck family. After some formal portraits, we stuck around as the family prepped their breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes outside.
