the dykast family: anytime

Anyone who has followed my blog for two seconds knows that I have a dear friend named Kellie.

Kellie married into the wonderful Dykast family, who I had the privilege to meet and photograph this week! We met up at Heritage Park and had a blast! This family is so kind, thoughtful, and FUN! They were exactly what makes my job easy: relaxed, enthusiastic, and interactive! 

Rich came along to play at the park with Alana while I photographed, but he definitely grabbed a few shots of his own and I’ve included a few of them in the post. 

Here are a few of my favorite images! We started off with some relaxed group shots…

I love this one that Rich captured of the amazing blue sky and the sweet family time!

Then Rich took over for a few shots of mom and dad Dykast by themselves. Here are just a couple from the series:

Group self-portrait! I LOVE it! As per tradition, Kellie and I brought our sunglass collection along for a super fun conclusion to the photoshoot. Alana is hidden behind Rich (also wearing sunglasses!), but otherwise, I think it’s perfect! Nice job, babe!
