If you’ve been to my website lately, you’ll see this beautiful family of 4 splashed right on the home page. That was from three years ago!

So when Doug contacted me to gift his beautiful wife Krista a session for Valentine’s day, I was so happy for two reasons: 1. I got to see my clients again which makes me feel really happy; and 2. Got to update their photos for this family, which also makes me happy!

Buuuutttt… I was soooo NERVOUS!

Seriously, I thought to myself “how am I going to top the previous photos?!” Because honestly and totally tooting my own horn here, we got amazing photos last time.

Well, when my clients are happy it shows and makes my job so much easier! I looooved this set and so glad they came out great!

A note about the location, it’s Destiladeras beach which is a public beach toward Punta Mita and one of my favorites in the entire Puerto Vallarta/Riviera Nayarit area. Long shores, beautiful waves which are small but add depth, and the sunset is just GLORIOUS.

I met Brenda at University during a Photo Club meet up. Since then, our lives have changed, gone down different paths, and Brenda photographed my wedding!

She recently came to Puerto Vallarta and I couldn’t go without hanging out with her and Sared. She proposed we do sessions of each other and I was super happy to capture her and Sared’s happiness together on the beach of Destiladeras!

I love this beach so much for its long shores and calm seas. It is also a beach where the sun sets behind the horizon rather than setting behind the mountains of Bahia.

Well, without further ado, here is a very special session of a person and her love that are even more dear to me!

Destiladeras is probably one of my favorite beaches in the Riviera Nayarita.  It is so incredibly beautiful and a hidden gem between luscious vegetation on the way to the famous Punta Mita.  A deep shoreline and calm waters make for beautiful sunset portraits, gah! Just beautiful!

I had the pleasure of photographing the Bergert family while they were visiting from Minnesota, where it's currently snowing!

It was so much fun and I love getting the opportunity to photograph such beautiful people while they are enjoying themselves in one of the most beautiful places in Mexico.

You won't regret it when you look at your large wall portrait of your family on a beautiful beach, slowing down, and enjoying life!

This family was just the most fun loving, happy, and playful family I have photographed in a long time! Then again, all of the families that hire me to photograph them have lots of fun during the session!  

Visiting Bucerias from Canada, they came to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, which is no feat, and deserved a very fun photo session! It was very endearing to see the couple so in love, their family having fun, and the all around great vibe they gave.  They light up any room!  

If you're visiting this beautiful area of Bucerias, Sayulita, San Pancho, and Puerto Vallarta, make sure you schedule your family portrait session, because there is nothing like these beautiful beaches and even more beautiful sunsets!
