family beach photos in Guanacaste
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!

Pura Vida,
Kristen

There’s always a chance of rain in the afternoon in the South from June to September…hello hot and humid weather creating popup thunderstorms! So you can imagine how interesting it is trying to schedule photo sessions in the late afternoon in Savannah in the summer — you want to take advantage of the late afternoon’s soft lighting, but you also..
New Puppy Quarantine Family Photos || Boyle Family
Every summer, the Boyle family heads to their favorite place, Costa Rica, for their beach family vacation. And every summer, the Boyle family and I look forward to catching up on the beach in Costa Rica as I photograph the Boyle siblings, Sloan, Blair, and Pierce. Except for this year, the ‘Rona (COVID 19), had other plans, putting the brakes on international travel.

Ashley and I first met back when we both lived in NYC. Both fresh out of college, I can still remember the day I met Ashley — I walked over to her cubicle at work and Ashley simply radiated with her gorgeous smile and impeccable work fashion. We bonded over work, and most importantly J.Crew and Anthropologie.
