Hello there!

We had an exciting weekend photographing at a gorgeous ranch in Healdsburg, CA. Thanks to the Warnecke Ranch for hosting the crew. We’ll have more to come from this shoot soon, including a behind-the-scenes video!

In the meantime, come visit us this Sunday, November 20th from 1-3pm at Heath Ceramics in Sausalito and Los Angeles. We have so much fun doing these totally free photo booths with Heath. There’s no need to sign-up. Just come with a little one and a smile. You’ll have a few fun images just in time for the holidays*. More details here.

*Our photobooth is totally free. About a week after the shoot we’ll post all the images to a gallery and you can purchase prints or the digital files at special discounted prices. Thanks!

Just before I left for Europe I photographed a friend of mine who also happens to be an incredibly talented photographer. See her work here. Isn’t Silvana gorgeous? I love all her beautiful hair! She photographed me, too. What a fun day. Thanks, Silvana!

an afternoon with Ella // modern kids photography, san francisco

This little girl was full of smiles for 90% of the shoot but she takes my breath away with that serious look…and those cheeks! I just adore her.

p.s. Just stumbled upon these Tibetan style wrap jackets on Tom Boy Kids. I love these and wish they made them in my size.

sneak-peek La Petite Magazine Issue #3 | Editorial Kids Photography, San Francisco

Sarah — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 21:46:55 +0000

Hello there! I am slowly getting back on track after jet-setting across the country for the holidays. The sun is shining in San Francisco and life is a little more manageable than the last few months which I’m extremely thankful for. The studio is still closed through January 10th so if you’re waiting to hear back from me you don’t have to wait much longer. Thanks for your patience.

In the meantime, enjoy a quick sneak-peek of my shoot for La Petite Magazine, Issue #3. Thanks to Lou Lou, Alexa and the rest of the girls as well as Regan Baker for some day-of styling help and Alifa Wong for her talents with hair & makeup. As soon as the issue is out I’ll share more.

Hudson on 24th Street | modern family photographer, San Francisco

Sarah — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 03:10:00 +0000

I knew this was going to be a good shoot. Here’s why: 1. Hudson bolted for a laundromat the minute he got out of the car. 2. We were shooting on one of the most colorful streets in San Francisco. 3. Lots and lots and lots of smiles…oh and those curls. 4. And finally, there’s nothing cuter than a little boy with chocolate ice cream.

Thanks to mom, dad, and Hudson for a fun morning!

behind the scene | beatrix ny photoshoot

Regan — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 07:23:46 +0000

Hi again! Regan here. I’m super excited to post behind the scene photos from this weekends Beatrix NY photo shoot, shot via my iphone. The shoot was held on location near Julius Kahn Playground, an absolutely stunning area. Look at those trees! So magical. It’s a definite must for those of you who haven’t been. It makes you realize how lucky you are to live in San Francisco. This part of town I think is why San Francisco is one of the top destination cities in the world. My favorite shot of the day is the photo of Sarah (center photo) capturing the final shot, a close up of Beatrix NY’s cute logo. Sarah’s one talented girl! She’s amazing with kids and has so much energy it’s mind-boggling. Thanks so much Sarah for allowing me to help with props and stylizing. I can’t wait for our next project! Everyone stay tuned for a sneak peak, they are amazing!

And… a fun video for you all to enjoy. Modern Kids | beatrix ny behind the scene

morning at the deYoung (cont.) | modern family photographer, San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles

Sarah — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 21:09:30 +0000

I’m downloading cards from this past weekend’s shoot at the deYoung and thought I’d share. Not only did I have a really lovely and stylish family to photograph but we had my favorite San Francisco weather; not too cold with a bright but slightly overcast sky. Perfect.

I have a mountain of processing to complete but thought I’d share this sweet diptych of Miss Isla. I adore this family and was so very happy to meet them last year to photograph, Sarah Louise. Stay tuned. I feel a flurry of blog posts coming in the next week – I’m finally catching up!

Wesley, Russian Hill, San Francisco | Modern Baby Photographer San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York

Sarah — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 22:07:10 +0000

I just walked into the studio from a lovely shoot in Russian Hill with a seven month old named, Wesley. He had one of the most unique nurseries I’ve ever seen; full of vintage toys and books plus a lovely Peter Pan wall. He was adorable and such a good model for me. I couldn’t help but to share two images of Wesley and his Mum. Don’t worry I have plenty with Dad and Wesley’s smiling face.

Stay tuned for lots of shoots from the last few weeks.
