CostA Rica

Houpt Family

Monica + Jonathan first came to Costa Rica twelve years ago and they knew that one day they’d be back. But, with a growing family and three young kids, it took the Houpt’s a little longer than planned for their return trip. Finally, twelve years later, with their littles starting to become bigs, the timing was right for the Houpt Family. And just like how Monica + Jonathan fell in love with Costa Rica many years ago, so did their kids Ian, Esmay, and Ayla. The kid’s loved playing on the beach, and little Ayla was enamored with playing + jumping in the waves.  So much love for one another radiates from this family — to say the least, it was a blast to do their family beach photos in Guanacaste Costa Rica!

The majority of family vacations in Costa Rica typically are for one week. But, there is so much to do and see in Pura Vidadise that the time goes by so fast. My first week long trip to Costa Rica, I definitely felt like I didn’t have enough time, so my second trip I booked for 10 days. And then my third trip…well I ended up packing up my NYC apartment and hopped a flight to Costa Rica for however long I wanted to!!!

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?!
