San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York, Modern Baby, Kids & Family Photographer. Commercial & Editorial Kids Photographer.
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.
Oh my wow. Sarah, these are insanely amazing. I’m seriously in love with this set. The color, light, connection is so rad. Keep up the awesome.
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
Stunning.
just beautiful. i am a sister.in.law of this awesome couple and you captured them perfectly. really really beautiful work. and it just goes without saying…brit has the cutest preggie clothes!
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. ;]
Gorgeous photos Sarah!
Is it awkward for you that I’m in love with you for taking such incredible pictures of us? I hope not… =) Thank you again so much Sarah. Thank you!
i just adore this session. and i am dying to know where she got the yellow dress, as i’ll be super preggo myself this summer 
Thank you, Megan. I think it might have been anthropologie as I happened to see something that looked similar. It’s not a maternity dress. Brit, correct me if I’m wrong! Also, I think she said she had it altered: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?subCategoryId=&id=17916891&catId=SHOPSALE-DRESSES&pushId=SHOPSALE-DRESSES&popId=SHOPSALE&sortProperties=&navCount=725&navAction=push&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=071&colorName=DARK%20YELLOW&isSubcategory=&isProduct=true&isBigImage=&templateType=E
This set has such a sincere/honest feel to them. Love the colors, the light and the couple! The mom honestly looks radiant.
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!
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?).
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! ;]
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)
Brit… you look amazing. So fun to see you huge like that. It is so fun to watch you go through this and I am so happy for you both. Awesome pics… She captured you both beautifully! What a treasure. Love you guys, your favorite cousin, Katie.
Brit, you’re so incredibly beautiful, and so is YOUR BABY!!!! Ross and I love you and Grant and Juniper lots and lots. Your other favorite cousin, Haylie

I’m so happy to announce that we’re giving away a complimentary family session AND a hand-made, custom-designed Modern Booklet to one lucky family. All of the details are over on the Say Yes to Hoboken blog. Head over there to enter the contest by Monday, April 12th. Good luck!
I hope you’re enjoying Halloween today by stuffing your face with some treats. I wanted to share a few frames from a recent East Bay shoot with Sasha and her little sister, Delaney.
A year ago I had the pleasure of photographing Sasha’s 2nd birthday; a fun, kid-filled event full of costumes and Halloween-inspired cupcakes. I was really excited to see the girls again and even though I see it all the time, I’m amazed how fast kids grow! Enjoy a few photos of these incredibly cute girls!
Enjoy a few of my favs from a recent belly + baby session with two wonderful, soon-to-be parents Allison + Keith. We started at their lovely home in Potrero Hill then took a little stroll around our shared neighborhood. The early morning light was perfect. I took advantage of the harsh shadows downstairs and muted...

Wow. Simply stunning.
thanks Tara Jean! they were so easy to photograph. really great morning.
your work is fantastic!!
This weekend I was reminded how much I like simple, straight portraits. No fancy angles, clever props or juxtapositions, just pure, simple, straight portraits. I should say it helps to have a subject who is incredibly natural in front of the camera. Allison and her husband Keith were just that. I rarely had to ask them to do anything and shooting in the comfort of their gorgeously lit home made it even easier.
