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

Every summer, the Boyle family heads to their favorite place, Costa Rica, for their beach family vacation. And every summer, the Boyle family and I look forward to catching up on the beach in Costa Rica as I photograph the Boyle siblings, Sloan, Blair, and Pierce. Except for this year, the ‘Rona (COVID 19), had other plans, putting the brakes on international travel.
Baby’s First Photos in Coral Gables, FL || Chisolm Family
Ashley and I first met back when we both lived in NYC. Both fresh out of college, I can still remember the day I met Ashley — I walked over to her cubicle at work and Ashley simply radiated with her gorgeous smile and impeccable work fashion. We bonded over work, and most importantly J.Crew and Anthropologie.
