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!

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…
