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!

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...
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.
