Sarah K Chen Photography Blog bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

If I love doing something, there’s nothing in the world that will stop me from doing it. Case in point: I grew up drawing on the walls of my house, much to the chagrin of my parents, who had to repaint the interior before they could sell it. Though I no longer use crayons to express myself, I still have that passion today for creating beautiful images.

 

I now use a camera to capture what would otherwise be fleeting moments between two people sharing in the excitement of beginning a new life together. There is little else that can evoke such strong emotion and bring back cherished memories as a well-composed photo, and I aim to capture just that with each one I take. I want my images to hold a special place in your heart for years to come.

 

I feel honored to be present at such a significant time in my clients’ lives and hope you’ll invite me to become part of yours, too.

In the Blink of an Eye : Ellie

Tiffany commented on the post below asking, when did Ellie get so big? And it got me thinking….where did the time go? It’s already August and the year seems to have flown by.  My favorite sounds are Ellie’s little feet walking through our house. Her feet on the tile sound like little suction cups when...

Lil People Big Personalities : Ronan & Chloe

I heard them coming long before I even saw them. Squeals of delight, unabashed giggles and little feet furiously pounding on the marble floors before they whizzed right by me straight to the lobby doors trying to get out. That was Ronan and his little sister Chloe. The cutest little kids with the big personalities....

I purchased a Canon 1v which is a 35mm film camera and shot  a couple rolls of film to test it out. These were shot on Kodak 400 film that was included with the camera. The colors are more vibrant,  saturated and warm compared to the Fuji stock I usually shoot on. And of course,...
