Sydney Ella : A Newborn Baby Session » Sarah K Chen Photography Blog

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.

Sydney Ella : A Newborn Baby Session

It’s amazing what I do. Seriously. I’m not talking about talent or art or anything like that. What I mean is, I get to be a part of people’s lives and see them start a new life together and then see their families grow. I photographed Rachel and Dan’s wedding three years ago and this past week I had the honor of photographing their beautiful baby girl, Sydney. On the drive over to their place, as I thought about it all I actually got really teary eyed. Life is so amazing, isn’t it?

This is the receiving blanket that Daddy came home from the hospital with. His Mom saved it all these years and now it’s Sydney’s to cherish! This reminds me to save something (ok, more like everything) of Ellie’s

There’s something so endearing about a little baby slumbering. I could watch babies sleep all day long, they’re so cute!

Welcome to the world, sweet baby Sydney! You are so blessed to having such amazing parents! I’m still waiting for my film images, but will do another post when I get those back!
