Papagayo Photographer – Four Seasons Costa Rica: Stahl Family –

There is something special about photographing sisters like Maxine and Sarah. The sweet sisterly bond between these two was so beautiful to photograph during their family photos on the beach at the gorgeous Four Seasons Costa Rica. The girls loved exploring together, from playing in the low tide pools, collecting hermit crabs and sea snails, and simply playing on the beautiful beach at the Four Seasons Papagayo. My favorite moment during the afternoon was catching Maxine and Sarah twirling around on the soft sand, giggling up a storm.

But, there were so many beautiful moments during this magical afternoon. Like Maxine and Sarah’s crazy aerial acrobatic moves as their dad, David, threw the girls in the air.

So many moments full of candid joy and heartfelt connections. <3 <3 <3 The Stahl’s love for each other simply radiated and was oh-so-beautiful to photograph. To say the least, we were so fortunate to be blessed with a magical and golden afternoon two days before Hurricane Otto moved over Costa Rica and dumped a ton of rain at the Four Seasons! And talking about luck, the Stahl’s were ever-so-lucky to be on the last flight out of Liberia before the airport was shutdown with the approaching hurricane!!
