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

holiday cards, fun, fun, fun…

One benefit of working so many late nights this winter has been the flood of holiday cards coming through my door featuring Modern Kids images. It’s been so much fun to see them all; from the kinds we made together, or through minted and mango ink, to the DIY kind.

Happy Monday, everyone! I have newborns on my mind because I’m waiting on three of them to arrive this month…so very exciting. Therefore I thought I’d share a fun nursery room via one of my favorite design/kid/family blogs, Ohdeedoh. You can see the full post on this clever and well-designed room over on their blog here.

Enjoy + stay tuned for some recent shoots!

Modern Kids named one of San Francisco’s Top 5 Baby Photographers by GGMG | modern baby photographer, san francisco

This morning I woke up to a bunch of emails from my friends and clients letting me know that I was listed as one of San Francisco’s Top 5 Baby Photographers by the Golden Gate Mothers Group. I was a little shocked to be honest and altogether really happy to be mentioned with four other excellent photographers (see them below). Thank you very much to GGMG for mentioning me and especially to all of my clients who must have posted reviews of my work. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you spreading the word on my behalf!

does your kid have what it takes to be a model? advice from a mom in the know | modern kids photographer, san francisco

This past summer I traveled to the Philadelphia area for some shoots and one of them happened to be some updated head-shots for a handsome young guy named, Will Ironside. I really enjoyed photographing Will (and his just-as-handsome younger brother Zach) and was interested to hear more about his adventures as a model. Will’s mom Tiffany was really wonderful and told me all about their adventures to NYC for clients like J.Crew, Lowe’s, and Macy’s to Boden, Kenneth Cole, and Cookie Magazine.
