editorial birthday photos in
costA Rica
Dedra
You know what they say? Costa Rica is always a good idea. Especially a special 50th birthday vacation in Costa Rica!
And the cherry on top to celebrating your birthday in paradise? A birthday photo shoot of you and your girl squad at one epic villa, Villa Nova in Playa Ocotal!
Not just any birthday photo shoot, but an OMG, mic drop photo shoot…kinda just like this… 🎤

To say the least, Dedra simply radiated a powerful, feminine confidence in one glistening gold dress, Badgley Mischka crystal heels, and makeup by her niece. And if I didn’t tell you, you never would have known Dedra pulled her back days before photos and could barely stand, to then Sasha-fiercing her photos with her closest friends and family for these AMAZING editorial birthday photos in Costa Rica!!!!
Dedra, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! Thank you so much for asking me to capture such a special birthday!


And thank you so much for your glowing review Dedra!
“For my 50th celebration, I wanted to do a special photoshoot. I literally googled “best photographer in Guanacaste” and Kristen’s website pulled up. If you want to work with someone responsive, timely, fun and who does everything to make you feel comfortable, you will not go wrong hiring her. When my family and I first saw the photos, we were in awe. Trust me, you won’t have any regrets.”
Pura Vida,
Kristen
