pretty things, neatly organized, photo shoots with Boon, and more…

Hello out there. What a busy month! I’m currently in Phoenix shooting for a totally awesome kids company, Boon, Inc (more about these guys soon). It’s amazingly hot here but I’m actually enjoying the weather compared to a chilly San Francisco. I’ve been working with such great team at Boon, hanging with a bunch of adorable little ones, and seeing some lovely, modern homes in Phoenix.

Black Pine Circle School, 8th Grade Graduation | modern family photographer, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York

Last month I had the pleasure of photographing a group of talented, sophisticated, fun, and stylish 8th grade graduates from Black Pine Circle School in Berkeley. It was a lively graduation but we managed to do some graduation headshots and a few images in between. I don’t recall being this hip in the 8th grade....

this is what 8th grade looks like | modern family photographer, San Francisco Bay Area

I photographed an 8th grade graduation last night and was struck by how mature, stylish, and down-right gorgeous the 8th graders were – especially the girls. I don’t recall being very pulled together at that age and I’m sure there are images to prove it. Times have certainly changed! Enjoy a sneak-peek of a few of the graduates.

Simple. Lovely. Brit & Grant, Santa Barbara | modern portrait photographer, California

I’ve been excited to share this shoot with you for a little while. A few weekends ago I was shooting in Santa Barbara, California. One of my shoots was an incredibly gorgeous, kind-hearted, and talented fellow photographer, named Brit Mann and her charming and helpful photo-assisting husband, Grant. They are expecting the arrival of what-is-sure-to-be an amazingly gorgeous baby girl. I felt really honored to photograph them during such a special time.

Sarah - Scott, thank you so much. That means a lot. I’ve been making a little transition in my shoots, shooting a bit of film and I realized that I’ve slowed down in general which I’ve really enjoyed. Thank you. xo

Sarah - Thanks for the comment, Heather. They were so great to photograph. Grant was a GIANT help as well b/c my friend Tara was a bit clueless (sorry Tara) w/ the light discs. ;]

JodyM - This set has such a sincere/honest feel to them. Love the colors, the light and the couple! The mom honestly looks radiant.

June 9, 2010 - 7:02 pm

Brit - The dress IS from Anthro, and all I did was move up a button on the halter to allow the midsection seam to sit above my belly. Thanks for the compliment Jody!

tara - Oh man. I knew these were going to be beautiful, but honestly they’ve taken my breath away. Thanks for letting me help out for the day and meet this truly amazing couple (even though my light disc skills are sub-par, I am a primo location picker, right?).

June 10, 2010 - 8:22 am

Sarah - you’re an awesome location scout, Tara! I didn’t mean to turn you in on the light discs. Anyway you weren’t bad at all. Grant was just WAY better! ;]

Emily - Every single shot is perfect and beautiful! You are an amazing photographer and I’m so glad Brit will have these pics forever. (B’s one of my best frineds btw)
