Costa Rica Family Photographer – Bottone Family –

I absolutely love capturing candid and timeless moments, and cousins Tessa, Lulu, Logan, and Eli certainly made my job that much more fun last week while playing on the beach in Tamarindo during family photos. Between Tessa’s sassy-ness and Lulu’s coy smile, these two girls certainly know how to work the camera! Meanwhile, Logan and Eli were all “boy”, searching for baby crabs in the low tide pools. There certainly was not a dull moment photographing these cousins!

From a nature filled estuary tour with crocodiles and Howler monkeys in Tamarindo, to exploring several beautiful Costa Rican beaches like Playa Avellanas, Playa Langosta, and Playa Danta, Lulu and Logan already know how to show their cousins Tessa and Eli the Costa Rican experience. And of course, their Costa Rican vacation would not be complete without watching a couple of stunning Costa Rican sunsets! If only I could transport myself back my childhood and be one of Lulu and Logan’s cousins too!

And fortunately enough, I dodge another Costa Rica rainy season bullet. Dodged as it in rained for almost 24 hours leading up to the Bottone’s scheduled family photo session date! Thankfully, the clouds started to clear a couple of hours before, creating a beautiful backdrop for family photos in Costa Rica. Dressed in navy and white, the Bottone’s color palette certainly popped against the afternoon sky.

Tessa, Lulu, Logan, and Eli, thank you for all of your beautiful smiles and sharing a fun afternoon with me on the beach!

Pura Vida,
Kristen
