Akka Healing + Movement, Costa Rica

What’s the story?

Sophie Paternot left her life in Switzerland to save the turtles. She ended up falling in love with more than just Costa Rica and is currently building a wellness center: Akka Healing and Movement. Her partner, architect Marc-Etienne also required property photography. Together the dynamo duo hired me to hop on a plane and document their abundant brands as they flourish in the Puntarenas region of Costa Rica.

IMAGES TO EVOKE PEACE

With the wellness center still under construction, Paternot needed imagery to jump start her social media channels and website. Yoga, massage therapy, landscapes and family portraits were needed to craft a story she would be able to use in developing her brand vision.

Marc-Etienne’s modern architecture against the wild jungles of the region leave endless opportunity to explore angles and hidden spaces.

Testimonial

“Courtney is very professional and very funny. This combination suited my "camera shy" personality, as she managed to make me very at ease when taking portraits. Her aesthetic and vision are sharp and creative. I will work with her every chance I get!”
