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!!! 😊

Pura Vida,
Kristen

For the past couple of years, I have had the pleasure to photograph the Bowen family’s holiday family photos. So this year when mom Melissa and I were planning their holiday photo session, she suggested doing boat family photos in Savannah Georgia. My immediate answer was yes and yessssss!

Three years ago I first captured the Finland family, with little Luke and Kate playing tag in the early morning light under dreamy Oak trees. And since then, every year I’ve had the honor to photograph Luke and Kate, capturing them as they grow oh-so-fast!
