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!

Visit us in our new studio: 3150 18th Street, San Francisco, CA 94110 (by appointment only) 415 846 0533

good mornin’ | modern kids photographer, san francisco

It’s been SUPER CRAZY over here at Modern Kids. Apologies to anyone who is waiting on an email from me. We had four shoots this weekend between two of us (Eugenia shot this weekend, yay!). I’m trying to squeeze in a few more spots for the holidays – I only have weekday availability left but Jenna will have some weekend spots in San Francisco if you book asap. Email me directly at hello(at)modernkidsphoto.com for more info.

First, a few things about our holiday cards this year.

mind the splinters, new business cards | modern kids photographer, san francisco

A few years ago when I was in the throws of wedding planning (so glad I don’t have to do that again), my husband and I were thinking of a fun way to design our save the dates. We had already started the process of working with a super-awesome designer for our wedding invites and wanted to save a little money. Btw, if you’re interested in seeing our invites click here. It’s one of my absolute favorite details from our wedding and how could you go wrong with individually screen-printed posters?

A little while back I found a really awesome designer named Eric Smith of idrawallday.com. I really love his style and work and quite frankly wish I could hire him to be my full-time designer.

a tiny visitor | modern kids photographer, san francisco

Today I had lunch with a fellow photographer, Heather Forbes. Her lovely little princess, Jazzy joined us as well. Then we walked over to the studio where Jazzy promptly took over my desk (and my glasses). How cute is this?
