These Egin Lake family photos have completely stolen my heart. Our sweet friends, the Excell Family, recently completed their family when they adopted their daughter Ryleigh, and we are so happy for them!! Because they knew their family was complete, Courtney wanted to capture this time of life in photos. She wanted to always remember their smiley Ryleigh and how much Easton loves his baby sister.

Their life is full of the busy that comes with young kids (as so many of us can relate to!), and it’s also full of all the fun and sweet moments. Ryleigh adores Easton and watched everything he did with her full attention. Zack keeps those kids laughing, and it is clear that Courtney is their safe place to be.

Not only are the people perfect, but so was the location! I mean, just look at the beautiful golden hour and the reflection on Egin Lake. Courtney also perfectly accessorized with her hat. Adding a hat can be so fun for pictures! Like Courtney did, you can wear it for some photos, and take it off for others!
