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 SeƱorita Amelia.Ā Fast forward almost four years later, Iāve had the privilege toĀ not only photograph Kara + Justinās baby bump photos, but also Ameliaās first time to the beach, as well as Karaās brother Kent + sister-in-law Mistiās two vacations in Tamarindo, AND family Amanda, Adam, and their two kids here at the beach. To say the least, itās such a pleasure and honor to be trusted to capture their family moments while on vacation. And whatās 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!Ā

Pura Vida,
Kristen
