Family fun times!
When we shot the Nauss wedding we knew they had kids…what we didn’t know was how much fun these two kids were… not only are they cute as buttons but they are also a riot to be around. Aiden and Mackenzie are like two peas in a pod, no fussing and no feuding just loads of fun!
This family loves to keep active so when we decided to do family portraits we thought it was a good idea to go do something energetic. So we went for a nice hike in the woods around Long Lake… The choice of venue was also in part because of the newest addition to the Nauss family, Dexter (the world’s cutest beagle puppy). The paths around Long Lake are a semi well kept dog lovers secret. Anyone who loves to walk their dog through the woods and socialize with other dog owners knows, this is the place to be.
Todd and Erika had the family dress all in matching white (how cute!), except Dexter, he stood out in a fashionable brown coat with a small fuzzy hood…although…I suppose his fur did match everyone’s sweaters…



What a great looking family! The puppy is soooo adorable
Everyone has puppies now. I want one!!
