Hello, Ned! | modern family photographer, Chicago

Sarah — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 16:28:59 +0000

I hope you had a lovely holiday weekend wherever you may be. I’m prepping today for a commercial shoot with another excellent kids company. In the meantime enjoy a recent portrait session in Chicago, IL with baby Ned. This little guy was such a great subject. His parents are lovely people and fed me some delicious chocolate croissants and coffee. Their home is amazing and incredibly unique. I hope to share more soon.

I’ll be out of the office the rest of the week. I’ll be checking in most evenings but bare with me until I’m back online again on Friday.

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. Enjoy!

Hi there!

It’s been a busy week. I’m in LA photographing kids in the Modern Family Zone of the Dwell on Design conference. If you’re headed to the event, please stop by! My friend Stephanie Howard and I are photographing kids all weekend long. We’re lucky to be next to great companies such as Paul Frank and IdeaPaint, not to mention Greg Fleishman’s Playgoda and tons of great kid’s furniture.

Check out the quick write up of the Modern Family Zone on Dwell.com (see the nice things they wrote about us below). Click here.

For those who want a keepsake of the weekend, Modern Kids Photography will be on hand for a permanent memento of your little one’s personality. San Francisco-based Sarah Wert is known for her insightful style that brings a keen photojournalism eye to children’s portraiture. Wert and her team of photographers will shoot a mini-portrait of your mini-me from 11am to 2pm on Saturday and Sunday.

I’ve been shooting like crazy and a bit behind on emails and orders. If you’re waiting to hear back from me I’m catching up this evening and all day tomorrow. Thanks for your patience.

In the meantime enjoy a sneak-peek from yesterday’s shoot. I can’t wait to share a weekend shoot in Santa Barbara with a ridiculously gorgeous mom-to-be (and fellow photog). I’m headed off to the beach for a shoot with three five year old boys and a vintage bus! Stay tuned…

I’m off to Southern California for a few shoots and a visit with friends. I’ll be back online Monday afternoon. Enjoy a few images from yesterday’s family shoot in Kentfield. What a wonderful family, beautiful home, great kids, and chickens! Thank you to Jessica and Kai and the rest of the family.

Have a great holiday weekend!

I’m getting some images together for a client and I love this image in particular. It was one of my last frames from a wonderful shoot. I’m so delighted the family is making it in to a large canvas. I think I’ll have to get one for the studio.

Enjoy your weekend!

I couldn’t help sharing another dose of imagery from Miss V.’s shoot recently here in SF. Even her bored face is pretty cute. Enjoy!

on vacation…mostly, Palm Springs | modern family photographer, San Francisco

Happy Saturday! I’m on vacation but thought I’d share a quick image. We’re staying here in Palm Springs, CA. We’re spending our days riding bikes, eating, and sitting by the pool. By night we’re listening to records and warming our feet by the fire because the desert gets cold at night! I hope you’re having a relaxing weekend wherever you may be.

See you Monday! I’m off to the pool.

p.s. for the photo-nerds I’m shooting with the Contax and the d700 but mostly the Contax. I brought along one lens for each camera and all sorts of weird film that I found in my refrigerator (Fuji 160c, Fuji Astia 100, Fuji NPH 400, Kodak 400NC, and some black and white 320), we’ll see what happens…pretty sure it’s all expired.
