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.

Just for Fun: A maternity shoot Lawrence Chan

Lawrence, Therese and I met for lunch at a Peruvian restaurant in the area and chatted about everything from food to photography to fashion to pregnancy symptoms. I think Lawrence learned more than he wanted to know about pregnancy just from our little chat. It was a kick back sort of day where we all pretty much played hooky to do a little shoot. There was no styling, no props, no location decided upon in advance. It was just for fun. And it was fun. Therese played our model and so we turned it into a portrait/maternity session. Lawrence bought is DSLR and I brought my Contax 645 and some film. We walked and talked, took turns shooting,  swapped cameras and did a lot of laughing.

These were all shot on the Contax 645 on Fuji 400H film and developed and scanned by Richard Photo Lab. Aren’t the colors so dreamy? Love! And as a side note, these were taken on a sunny afternoon around 2:00. Film handles beautifully even in bright light.
