Large-scale posters by Debbie Carlos // art, inspiration

March 7, 2011

The other day I stumbled on the food blog by Debbie Carlos. I love her approach to food photography. She embraces the little moments of chaos and rawness of cooking. Her work is honest. I love that. From there I landed on her etsy shop where she sells bond paper posters (say that three times) at affordable prices. One of my favorite classes during art school was a 2d-design class in my first year. We used the plotter printer often during that class and it was serious fun. That medium goes really well with her work.

November 9, 2010

I have the pleasure of seeing so many fabulous nurseries; from the obvious pinks and blues to the unexpected metallic wallpaper and indoor swings! One of those lovely nurseries was in Chicago, IL this Summer at the home of some of our dearest friends, Brett, Lezlie, and Whistler.

Thank you for the tears of joy & delight, you girls are both so talented. (p.s. Sarah, the little bound photo book of Whistler & family is a Grandmothers Treasure!!!) Luv it so much, every Mimi needs one. xo’s to all

Lezlie - Wow Sarah, once again you have made us look so much cooler than we actually are- so flattered you chose Whistlers room to share. I am always inspired by your creative photo shoots. It’s a Modern Kids world!

Hello, Ned! | modern family photographer, Chicago

September 7, 2010

I hope you had a lovely holiday weekend wherever you may be. I’m prepping today for a commercial shoot with another excellent kids company. In the meantime enjoy a recent portrait session in Chicago, IL with baby Ned. This little guy was such a great subject. His parents are lovely people and fed me some delicious chocolate croissants and coffee. Their home is amazing and incredibly unique. I hope to share more soon.

Sarah - Thanks Anna and Silvana. This family was especially sweet – well I feel incredibly lucky to photograph so many sweet families – anyways, you can’t see much of their home here but I’ll share soon. Their style is impeccable and truly unique. Loved every minute of this shoot.

Thanks again.

p.s. Anna, I will most definitely see you in Chicago next time I’m there.

September 7, 2010 - 9:44 am

silvana - Perfection! The images are so clean and not to mention truly lovely and emotive.

Anna B - Oh Sarah, these are just gorgeous! I especially love the moment with Mama grinning at the camera–her smile describes such joy and pride. And Dad’s specs are great, too! What a beautiful house, indeed. I am so sorry to have missed you when you were here. I will need to remedy this! Best to you this week!

welcome baby Whistler, Chicago | modern family photographers

August 5, 2010

Hello there. I’ve been on the road for a little over a week (apologies if you’re waiting to hear from me). I’ve had a little family time mixed with a few really special shoots. One in particular was baby Whistler in Chicago. Whistler’s parents are dear friends of mine (and the husband) and we have been so happy to welcome him to the world. I can’t wait to share more!

Sarah - Karla thanks so much for the comment! I’m glad you found me! It’s been so busy over here I wish I could share more on the blog. Hopefully, my time will start to free up a bit. Please stay in touch and thanks again!! S.

karla rudnick - I found you in a brazilian blog (I’m brazilian)… so cool work! congratulations, a lot of inspiration. I would like to photograph children, I’m just starting to learn how. Nice to meet you! (sorry about my English, a little bit horrible):)

August 10, 2010 - 8:44 pm

Lezlie - Sarah your endless energy, boundless creativity and fantastic artistry never cease to amaze us. You went above and beyond to capture the sweetest pictures of Whistler. His worn out parents can not thank you enough!

August 7, 2010 - 9:52 am

Sarah - Thanks, Kristen! It’s not hard to photograph that family! Great to see you in Chicago!

August 7, 2010 - 9:51 am

Sarah - Thanks, Edyta! The luggage was already in Lezlie’s living room. They’ve had those great suitcases for years. I love finding existing props rather than sourcing them for family shoots in particular. ;)

edyta szyszlo photo - love at first sight with that luggage photo!!!

kristen - So adorable, no surprises!

little miss Arabel, traveling sessions, Chicago | modern kids photographer

January 6, 2010

I have the wonderful opportunity of traveling to Chicago to shoot a few times per year. If it’s a wintertime shoot I am usually a little obsessed with the weather the week before I arrive as anyone who has lived there will tell you winter weather can be unpredictable. On my last trip in late November we lucked out with an unseasonably warm weekend. I have a bunch of shoots to share from that trip that I will intersperse with Bay area shoots over the next few weeks. I’ll be posting more frequently so please stay tuned.
