Beach Family vacation

Paeltz + Armstrong Families

Almost four years ago, Kara and Justin had a little bun in the oven. Well, Kara has the bun in the oven, little Señorita Amelia.  Fast forward almost four years later, I’ve had the privilege to  not only photograph Kara + Justin’s baby bump photos, but also Amelia’s first time to the beach, as well as Kara’s brother Kent + sister-in-law Misti’s two vacations in Tamarindo, AND family Amanda, Adam, and their two kids here at the beach. To say the least, it’s such a pleasure and honor to be trusted to capture their family moments while on vacation. And what’s even more fun is seeing the kids grow and meeting new additions!!!

Kara, Justin, Amanda, and Adam, mil gracias from the bottom of my heart for trusting me to capture your family vacation memories!

The majority of family vacations in Costa Rica typically are for one week. But, there is so much to do and see in Pura Vidadise that the time goes by so fast. My first week long trip to Costa Rica, I definitely felt like I didn’t have enough time, so my second trip I booked for 10 days. And then my third trip…well I ended up packing up my NYC apartment and hopped a flight to Costa Rica for however long I wanted to!!!

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…
