Sarah K Chen Photography Blog bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

I'm a simple person who loves photographing people and spending time with my husband and two little girls, Ellie (4) and Emmeline (1). My girls are my world and every day I wonder how I became so blessed to be their Mama.

When I'm not behind the camera I love to knit and sew cute things for my girls and bake cookies. My husband likes to say I'm a granny at heart, but I like to say I'm a woman of many talents. ;)

I also enjoy snowboarding, traveling and immersing myself in books. One day I will conquer Cornice and get down without snowplowing my way. I dream of traveling to Greece, Italy and Paris one day, but I have yet to convince the husband that traveling abroad with two little ones would be aweome. I'd also love to go camping and show my girls the joys of a perfectly toasted marshmallow and walking barefoot through an icy cold creek bed. And although I said it would never happen, I now read most of my books on my iPhone or iPad instead of a book. Have kids and you'll soon realize the gift of a built in light and always having your book with you.

I'm based in Orange County, California and ocassionally travel for shoots.

Lakeside Engagement : Constance & Jesse

Constance and Jesse arrived to our shoot telling me how nervous and anxious they’d been all day in anticipation for their engagement session.

El Matador Beach Engagement : Stephanie and Rodolfo

While I love being at home with Emmeline and enjoying every little moment with her, it also feels really good to be back shooting and you know, wearing non pajama-y things and having adult conversations. I met up with Stephanie and Rodolfo on a perfect afternoon in Malibu to photograph their engagement session. It was...
