Lake Wawasee Family Film - The Bettchers

This inquiry sounded more like an invitation to a party than a typical family session. Imagine this: spending time on the lake, riding the speedboat, enjoying some delicious s'mores, and bonding with a family that truly adores one another while soaking up every last second of summer.

Um. Sign me up.

A Family, A Lake, and Pure Joy

Growing up around the lake, sessions like these feel like coming home for me. There’s something so special about capturing moments near the water, surrounded by laughter, sunshine, and good vibes. It’s where the magic happens.

Meet the Bettcher Family

When Erica saw a family film I created for her husband’s cousin’s family, she knew she had to reach out. The very next day, she called me, excited about the opportunity to preserve memories of her children’s joy for life, their ability to adapt, and the love they share for one another. She shared how grateful she is to be chosen by God to parent her “two amazing and gorgeous babies.”

Despite dad’s heavy travel schedule as a football coach, the Bettcher family sticks together. They’ve moved a lot, but through it all, they’ve remained each other’s support system. Erica describes her children as best friends, and you can feel the strength of that bond in every moment spent together.

Capturing Personality and Connection

Erica loves the ages of her children right now—their personalities are full of life, and their confidence is shining through. Colton’s kindness immediately stood out to me. While fishing, he was so encouraging and complimentary of his sister’s efforts. Watching this, I couldn’t help but feel my heart warm up.

Grab a Cold Lemonade and Enjoy

There’s something timeless and effortless about family memories captured on the lake. Grab a cold lemonade, sit back, and enjoy this family film that perfectly captures the joy, love, and togetherness of the Bettcher family at Lake Wawasee.


Summer at Lake Wawasee

With all the travel they do, this family takes one uninterrupted month each year to spend quality time at the lake. And when they’re there, they maximize every moment. From boating and fishing to swimming and tubing, they embrace everything that summer on the water has to offer. But the fun doesn’t stop there—they also make s’mores by the fire every night. It’s these little traditions that make their time together so meaningful.
