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
