hello + welcome

Modern Kids Photography focuses on the wonder, complexity, and joy of childhood.

My name is Sarah Wert and I am the primary photographer and owner of Modern Kids Photography, San Francisco. While everyone loves a smiling kid, that's not always what I look for. Children express themselves through many incredible emotions and I'm interested in capturing all their moods and unique personality traits. My goal is to give you not only a fun and enjoyable family photography session but to make unexpected, and indelible imagery you will never forget.

I'm on the road many times during the year. Contact me to inquire about my travel schedule, to book your portrait session, or just to say hello. I would love to hear from you!

Faith in Sonoma, sneak peek | commercial kids photographer, san francisco

I couldn’t help but share a few quick selects from Faith’s shoot in Sonoma. Faith is a kids model for City Models, here in San Francisco and most recently was the cover image for the Crewcuts catalog this summer. She is such an awesome kid, mature beyond her years, and so fun and easy to work with.

location scouting, sonoma | commercial kids photographer, san francisco

Sometimes I have to pinch myself living in a place like San Francisco. We have such amazing access to a diverse array of locations within a few hours of the city. I have shot all over San Francisco from our beaches to chinatown to the greenery in Golden Gate Park. However, just outside of San Francisco you can find anything from dirt roads, treacherous cliffs, black sand beaches, quaint farms, dusty old towns, kitschy motels, and much more. Yesterday, I went on a quick scouting mission to Sonoma and found a few non-descript locations for my shoot on Sunday.

don’t let his serious face fool you, this kid is all smiles | commercial kid photographer, san francisco

I had so much fun yesterday photographing a handsome young man named Ryan Nelson for a local modeling agency. We shot in three separate locations around the city but my favorite was outside of St. Francis Fountain in the Mission. Thanks again to the owners and staff of SFF for accommodating us and for making the excellent sundae! Thanks as well to Eugenia for assisting and to Megan and Annemarie for the incredible styling and wardrobe. Last but not least to Ryan and his mom for being so fun to work with! We hope you enjoyed the afternoon as much as we did!
