$1,000 says Ms. Keili can navigate the city of San Francisco better than you can. I’m kidding of course but this little lady has some serious “street-smart” skills. She is hands down the most outgoing, affable, polite, and down right sophisticated little kids I’ve ever met. Yes, I’ve said it. I don’t always make such grandiose statements but little Keili is totally amazing.

Naturally, I meet quite a lot of kids. One of my favorite things about them is that their personalities differ wildly in kids of the same age. I was reminded of this when I met Jin and his family recently in the East Bay.

It’s been SUPER CRAZY over here at Modern Kids. Apologies to anyone who is waiting on an email from me. We had four shoots this weekend between two of us (Eugenia shot this weekend, yay!). I’m trying to squeeze in a few more spots for the holidays – I only have weekday availability left but Jenna will have some weekend spots in San Francisco if you book asap. Email me directly at hello(at)modernkidsphoto.com for more info.

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!

sister, -noun; a female offspring having both parents in common with another offspring; female sibling.
If this is a the technical definition of ’sister’ then I would argue ‘little sister’ needs a definiton all its own. It might go something like this:
little sister, -noun; female offspring, prone to lifelong torment of older sister including profound levels of mimickry, stealing of prized possessions including clothing and jewelry, never-ending admiration and obsessive tendencies toward older sister, and last but not least dramatic personality traits which are known to cause great duress to older sister.

I hope you’re enjoying Halloween today by stuffing your face with some treats. I wanted to share a few frames from a recent East Bay shoot with Sasha and her little sister, Delaney.
A year ago I had the pleasure of photographing Sasha’s 2nd birthday; a fun, kid-filled event full of costumes and Halloween-inspired cupcakes. I was really excited to see the girls again and even though I see it all the time, I’m amazed how fast kids grow! Enjoy a few photos of these incredibly cute girls!

Last week I was helping my clients Bess + Camille create a wall of prints for their home to celebrate their pregnancy and their adorable son, Caleb. I was excited that they chose a bunch of mismatched frames in black and silver. We’re still working on the wall gallery but I promise to share once...

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.

My apologies for a few delayed emails this week. Joe and I flew to the East Coast for an extra-long weekend vacation with my family. It was such a fun time full of sand, perfect weather, delicious food, and lazy afternoons. Here are a few images. I’ll be sure to share more soon!
