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

location scouting, sonoma | commercial kids photographer, san francisco

Sometimes I have to pinch myself living in a place like San Francisco. We have such amazing access to a diverse array of locations within a few hours of the city. I have shot all over San Francisco from our beaches to chinatown to the greenery in Golden Gate Park. However, just outside of San Francisco you can find anything from dirt roads, treacherous cliffs, black sand beaches, quaint farms, dusty old towns, kitschy motels, and much more. Yesterday, I went on a quick scouting mission to Sonoma and found a few non-descript locations for my shoot on Sunday.

First, a very big thank you to everyone who came out to Crissy Field on Saturday for our picnic! We had such a perfect day for a party. I can’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than giving back a little to all of my wonderful clients from the past year+. Thank you all very much for allowing me to do a job that I absolutely love!

mind the splinters, new business cards | modern kids photographer, san francisco

A few years ago when I was in the throws of wedding planning (so glad I don’t have to do that again), my husband and I were thinking of a fun way to design our save the dates. We had already started the process of working with a super-awesome designer for our wedding invites and wanted to save a little money. Btw, if you’re interested in seeing our invites click here. It’s one of my absolute favorite details from our wedding and how could you go wrong with individually screen-printed posters?
