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

This week I’m shooting in Chicago and St. Louis and then back to San Francisco for the a bunch more shoots before the end of the holiday season. Please stay tuned here for more info on holiday ordering, some unique gift certificates, and more!

allison + keith, sneak peek | modern belly and baby photographer, san francisco

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.

why i love my job | modern kids photographer, san francisco bay area, east bay, oakland, rockridge

There are literally hundreds of reasons why I love my job. And one of the biggest reasons is that I get to meet so many wonderful families. Whether they are about to have their first child, welcoming their 2nd child, or just celebrating their family by having me document them on a typical Sunday morning, I am always so happy to be a part of it all.
