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!

does your kid have what it takes to be a model? advice from a mom in the know | modern kids photographer, san francisco

October 1, 2009

This past summer I traveled to the Philadelphia area for some shoots and one of them happened to be some updated head-shots for a handsome young guy named, Will Ironside. I really enjoyed photographing Will (and his just-as-handsome younger brother Zach) and was interested to hear more about his adventures as a model. Will’s mom Tiffany was really wonderful and told me all about their adventures to NYC for clients like J.Crew, Lowe’s, and Macy’s to Boden, Kenneth Cole, and Cookie Magazine.
