Our 3 Most-Booked Family Photography Packages

Discover our Family Photography Packages in Costa Rica—perfect for families who want a relaxed, beautiful session with real smiles (not stiff posing). Whether you’re planning vacation family photography at the beach, rainforest, mountain or volcano views, each package is designed to keep things easy and enjoyable. I’ll guide you with simple prompts and outdoor family photo ideas, so you get a meaningful mix of candid family portraits and lightly guided images.

Colibrí – Family Package (3 hours)

Made for families who want more than a quick photo stop. This is one of our most complete family photography packages—and the 3 hours are designed to comfortably combine a few different spots, especially in locations where there’s a bit more walking involved. We keep it easy and unrushed, with time for breaks, snacks, and real moments in between.

We’ll blend gently guided portraits with candid family portraits, using Costa Rica’s best scenery as your backdrop—think Arenal Volcano views in La Fortuna, misty cloud forest trails in Monteverde, or warm golden light by the beaches of Guanacaste.

Perfect for sessions in: La Fortuna (Arenal viewpoints + forest trails) | Monteverde (cloud forest + waterfall) | Guanacaste (beach + tropical landscapes) | Manuel Antonio.

Flamingo – Family Package (2 hours)

erfect for families who want a beautiful session that still feels easy and relaxed.

We’ll focus on natural connection, a few gently guided portraits, and plenty of candid family portraits in the best light of the day.

Two hours is ideal for a vacation family photography session in places with simple access—like Arenal viewpoints in La Fortuna, peaceful cloud forest paths in Monteverde, or a beach session in Guanacaste right around golden hour.

Pura vida – Family Package (1 hour)

Designed for families who want something simple, intimate, and truly beautiful—especially if you’re traveling with little ones. This Family Photography Package is intentionally short so kids don’t get overwhelmed by long walks or hours in front of the camera.

In one hour, we’ll stay in one easy-access, photogenic spot (minimal walking), so your children can stay comfortable and happy while we capture natural, playful moments—plus a few gently guided portraits in soft, flattering light. Think less “photo shoot,” more “a sweet family moment you’ll want to remember.”

Travel Fees & Hidden Costs – Made Simple and Transparent

Destination weddings come with logistics, so I keep everything crystal clear from day one. Travel is already included in our packages for Monteverde, La Fortuna, and select Guanacaste beaches. If your venue is more remote—or your timeline requires a very early start or late finish—an additional travel fee may apply. You’ll always know the exact cost before you book—no last-minute surprises.

FAQ’S

Do your family photography packages include candid and posed photos?

Yes. Our approach blends both styles. We focus mainly on candid family portraits and natural interactions, while also guiding a few gently posed moments so you have a beautiful balance in your final gallery.

Do you offer family photography packages with drone photography services?

Drone photography may be available as an add-on, depending on the location, weather conditions, and local regulations. We always prioritize safety and legal permissions, and we’ll let you know in advance if drone coverage is possible for your session.

Do you offer photography + videography packages?

I focus on photography, but I work with trusted videographers and can share portfolios and quotes from colleagues I recommend often—so you can build a team you feel confident about.
