Modern Kids Photography Blog presented by Sarah Wert

San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York, Modern Baby, Kids & Family Photographer. Commercial & Editorial Kids Photographer.

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!

lucas family, a morning at the market, sunday morning sessions | modern kids photographer, san francisco

September 24, 2009

Ok so maybe this is actually a Saturday morning in September but you get the idea. Last month I had the pleasure of spending a really lovely morning with the Lucas Family. You might remember that I photographed their wedding along the Russian River this summer. Dad, Alina, and I started bright an early, 7 am to be exact. We made our way to the Alemany Farmer’s Market in San Francisco. If you love food and live in SF you’ve been here. Alice Waters has been known to shop here. It’s an incredibly diverse market where you can buy fresh seafood, delicious breads and pastries, rare mushrooms, asian vegetables I have no idea how to cook, all kinds of seasonal fruits and vegetables, and even live chickens. Yep, live chickens.

if life gives you lemons | sunday morning sessions, strober family | modern kids photographer san francisco bay area, los altos hills

September 3, 2009

If life gives you lemons…make lemonade! And that’s exactly what we did during my most recent Sunday Morning session. We also played guitar, skateboarded, picked carrots from the garden, and fought like pirates. I can’t believe I get paid to do this.
