"Effortless, natural, and pura vida perfect!
Alexandra from PuraVida.Love Photography captured my first-ever surf lesson so beautifully, I felt like I was living inside a memory while looking at the photos.
She has a gift for making magic out of real, raw moments, salty smiles, wipeouts, and all. I didn’t have to pose or plan; she just quietly snapped away and somehow caught the feeling of the whole experience. Every shot had that warm, golden Costa Rica glow.
If you’re looking for someone who can document not just what something looked like, but what it felt like, this is your girl.
Thank you, Alexandra, for seeing the beauty in the chaos and gifting me these unforgettable images 💛"

"What an incredible experience. Alexandra made me feel so beautiful and so relaxed in front of the camera! We met at 6am on the beach so we got some beautiful photos with the sun rising! I'm so grateful I had the experience to work with her! If you're looking for a photographer in the Samara area I cannot recommend her enough. Thanks Alex! I will cherish these photos forever!"

"From the moment I contacted Alexandra for a photoshoot, I could feel her genuine desire to create something beautiful together. I wanted photos of a sun-kissed look, and she generously agreed to meet at sunrise—at 5:30 a.m.!
Alexandra is creative, intuitive, artistic, and truly committed to capturing meaningful photo memories. Being in her presence is so pleasant. I had the chance to get to know her more deeply, and I’m so grateful I made the decision to work with her during my short trip to Samara.
Now I have not only beautiful photos, but also lifelong memories—and a new friendship."
