Beach family photos in Guanacaste
CostA Rica

Thompson Family

Oh little Senorita Ri, like you be any cuter and so full of sass at the same time?! To say the least, Ri kept her mom, dad, and myself on our toes their whole family photo session. And to think that only two years ago I photographed her mom + dad, Sarah + Ian, in the exact same beautiful spot ok the beach for their engagement photos! It honestly is such a pleasure and honor to have the privilege to photograph such special moments, from an engagement to Ri’s first time to the beach — mil gracias Sarah + Ian for asking me to capture your beautiful moments!

But when I do have the opportunity to work with a returning family client, it melts my heart that they ask me again to capture their precious family moments — and I also love seeing how much the kiddies have grown!
