Heya, I’m Sarah—a Melbourne & Auckland based content creator with a heart for food, photography, and all things creative.

I specialize in food and product styling, photography, videography, and recipe development, turning everyday ingredients into visual stories that pop.

For me, photography isn’t just a job—it’s the kind of passion that makes time vanish, whether I’m chasing light, layering texture into a scene, or filming a dish in motion. I’m a visual communicator at my core (words aren’t my thing!), and I truly believe in the power of beautiful imagery that speaks for itself.

My journey kicked off with a Bachelor of Design in Spatial Design, followed by five years as an architectural designer. Alongside that, I freelanced as a photographer, capturing weddings, engagements, corporate gigs, and my own adventures. But my love for food styling and photography? That started as a playful side hustle—an Instagram handle called “@thesaarahproject.” It was my sandbox for recipe creation, food exploration, and snapping pics, a creative outlet that quickly became my happy place. What began as a passion project grew into a full-blown love for content creation, styling, and recipe writing.

Since June 2019, I’ve been living the dream, making this my full-time gig. Over the past six years, I’ve honed my craft, working with brands and ongoing clients who trust me to bring their products and food to life. I feel incredibly grateful every day for the chance to blend my skills—part designer, part storyteller, all foodie—into work that feels like play.
