engagement photos on the beach in
Playa Guiones
Michelle + Greg
Michelle’s friend had a feeling. She had a feeling that her friend Michelle would hit it off with her other friend Greg. And their friend was spot on right — Michelle + Greg couldn’t have been a more perfect match. They both love to be outdoors, especially anything that involves the water. And vacations…they call them adventures! Greg knew he had found his best friend – his person, so right before COVID, Greg proposed + Michelle of course said yes. But thanks to COVID, Michelle + Greg were grounded from adventuring to celebrate.
So finally, over a year later, the couple were able to take advantage of a long holiday weekend to Costa Rica to celebrate AND do their engagement photos in Nosara. Michelle + Greg could not have picked a better weekend…they reeled in a 200lb tuna AND Greg was able to take advantage of a beautiful swell, surfing waves in Guiones. And on their last afternoon, the rain stayed away — the weather was just perfect for their engagement photos on the beach in Playa Guiones!
Their relationship with each other truly was beautiful to capture. It warmed my heart to see two people that individually radiate such positivity + have such a beautiful, natural chemistry with each other. 💕 Congrats again Michelle + Greg!

Pura Vida,
Kristen

Family Vacation Beach Photos in Costa Rica || Pusch Family
The month of November by far is my favorite month in Costa Rica. The earth is super lush and green from six months of rainy season and the temperatures “cooler”, but with the beautiful weather of dry season. And having been away from Pura Vidadise for 8 months thanks to the ‘Rona, it felt good to arrive back during my favorite month. And to top that off, what better way to get back into the photography swing than with some of the most fun clients?!
Historic Savannah Georgia Family Photos || Daughtrey Family
One of the things I love the most about being a photographer in Savannah, Georgia is that there is so many different, beautiful places to photograph. You can go from historic downtown Savannah, the beach on Tybee Island, majestic Oak lined nature trails, to picturesque marsh views. No wonder the Daughtrey Family had a hard time picking…
Holiday Family Photos in Downtown Savannah || Cohen Family
One of my favorite things about the Cohen Family is that they are always up to change it up and take their family photos in different locations every year. That and the fact that Senorita Grace and her big brother Cole are a riot, always making everyone around them laugh!
