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.

The McElroy Family

This is my sister in law’s beautiful little family. I still remember the day Crystal called to say they had a surprise. I yelled, “You’re pregnant!” into the phone, so excited for her and her husband Connor. There was a nervous laugh and a dramatic pause before she replied, “Well, that’s not all….we’re having twins!” […]

The Oh Family

You know what amazed me about the Oh’s family session? Even with three young children, every frame I shot of this family was a keeper. I shot one roll of 220 film and all 32 frames made it into their gallery. It probably helps when Dad is also a photographer and Mom is one of […]

The Phatiphong Family

Jenn and I followed each other on Instagram and knew of each other through mutual friends for years before we finally met in person. We met at a park in Pasadena and while I was kid free that day, Charlie was with Jenn and after spending some time playing and chatting with them I remember […]

The Chien Family

I met Jenny and Andy about 6-7 years ago on a snowboarding trip to Mammoth. It had been a while since I’d been snowboarding and I was really excited to hit the mountain the next morning with a bunch of old and new friends. It wasn’t until the next morning that I found out that […]

The Louey Family

Tina and Kenny very recently became a family of three (or five if you count their fur babies)! I was so excited to meet baby Sophia, she is such a beautiful little baby and kindly snoozed through our entire 30 minute mini session. It’s funny how quickly you forget how teeny newborn babies are. I […]

The Fong Family

I had such an overwhelming response to my mini sessions that I ended up opening up a third date, mostly for my friends who wanted me to photograph their families. I love that those near and dear to me value me,  work that I do, and the art I create. It really means so much […]

Orange County Family Portraits – Hoang Family

The Hoangs are an amazing little family and I am so happy that I got to know them and photograph them for Kyle’s first birthday and for this session we shot recently. Jean and Robert are both so sweet and are the types of people who laugh easily and love whole heartedly. It was such […]

Orange County Family Session: Gia, Matt & Baby Audrie

You may recognize Gia and Matt as I shot their wedding three years ago at Greystone Mansion. They recently welcomed a gorgeous little baby girl into their family and came down from San Francisco to have me photograph them all together. It was so great catching up with these two and seeing the warm love […]
