Hall Family
As a destination family photographer in Costa Rica, I don’t often have the opportunity to work with families year after year, capturing their family photos. But when I do have the opportunity to work with a returning family client, it melts my heart that they ask me again to capture their precious family moments — and I also love seeing how much the kiddies have grown! Three and a half years ago I had the privilige to photograph six month old Señorita Bryson during her first trip to Costa Rica. She was an adorable munchkin then, and she still is! And her love for her parents — just so special to photograph!
Thank you Brett + Emily for trusting me to capture your Tamarindo beach family photos again — I can’t wait to see y’all again! And many thanks to the whole Hall-Paeltz–Armstrong extended family — I’m so honored to be your Tamarindo family photographer every time y’all visit!

Pura Vida,
Kristen
