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!

Pura Vida,
Kristen
