Kudish Family

Want to know the dilemma when you’re a photographer? You’re not in the photo because you’re the one behind the camera. Sure, you can use a tripod and set the camera to a timer, but if you really want all those moments captured, you entrust those moments to another photographer. 

So when Davina + Daniel, two very talented photographers, emailed me asking if I’d capture lifestyle family photos in Costa Rica for their family of four, I was beyond honored. And a ‘lil nervous because let’s be honest — the stakes definitely are raised when you’re photographing for another professional photographer, nonetheless two at the same time! Ok, to be honest…I’m a ‘lil nervous every client photo session because I value that trust my clients have in my to capture their memories! And so excited too!

Nerves and excitement aside, photographing the Kudish family was so much fun! Charlie and Max couldn’t have been cuter, jumping off fence posts + exploring the low tide rocks with their mom and dad. Add that to that the Kudish family knows their angles (definite bonus to working with fellow photographers!), and I couldn’t stop taking photos! Seriously, the Kudish’s filled up my 32GB memory card!

Gracias Daniel, Davina, Max, and Charlie!!! I’m so happy that y’all loved your photos!!! 😊

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?!

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…
