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.

Coto de Caza Family Session: The Ringer Family

I photographed Beatriz and David’s wedding back in 2009 and was so happy to see them again this year with their twins for their very first family portrait session before the little ones’ first birthday. I loved seeing the ease in which these two parent their babies. You know it can’t be easy with twins, […]

Beach Day

I first met the Hoang family when they booked me for their son’s first birthday and then later for a family portrait session. We live close by so we carpooled to the family session location and on the drive down fell into easy conversation. I know how stressful the day of a shoot can be, […]

Montira and Chat’s Maternity Session at LA Arboretum

I am loving that so many of my past couples are expecting this year!

These two are going to make such amazing […]

Danielle & Eric’s Maternity Session

I still remember Danielle and Eric’s enthusiasm when we first met years ago. They were newly engaged and in search of a photographer for their wedding. Since that time I’ve photographed their engagement, Danielle’s boudoir, their wedding, and now their maternity session as they await the arrival of their baby girl. I love that I […]

Baby Ruby : Orange County Newborn Session

One of the sweetest and most beautiful newborns I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing. Ruby so slept contentedly in her parents’ arms and was the perfect little model for me. I was surprised at how often she smiled at just a week old, but not surprised that it was often at the sound of […]

Jennifer & Michael’s Shady Canyon Wedding

Jennifer and Michael met years ago in Chinese school emceeing an event. What I love most about Jennifer and Michael’s story is that they quite literally grew up together. They’ve spent time together in high school going to the beach, had to say goodbyes as they went off to MIT and Dartmouth, then spent a […]

Lauren’s First Birthday

I feel so blessed to have been asked to document Lauren’s very first birthday celebration. It seems like only yesterday when Katherine was pregnant and wishing for a sweet baby girl with lots of rolls and soft, squishy cheeks to kiss. And then Lauren came along and completed Katherine and Stephen’s beautiful family. For the […]

Langham Hotel Wedding : Jessica and Harry

There was so much beauty to behold at Jessica and Harry’s wedding, it reminded me of why I love what I do so much. I’m not just talking about just physical beauty (though there was plenty of that!), but the beauty behind the all the little moments that day. Laughing and crying, while reading letters […]
