About Me

Hi there!

I’m Sarah Kermalli! I’m a food photographer, stylist and recipe developer who also teaches Pilates on the side!

I wasn’t always doing food photography! In fact, when I had my kids I stopped everything. I got into a crazy idea that I could keep corals and difficult salt water fish but I couldn’t keep up with the demands and felt so bad to keep them in a glass cage! I picked up the camera shortly after the birth of my third and decided to try photographing my food. I was instantly hooked. The stories, the recipes, the styling – I LOVED it all.

I should’ve known that I would love being a freelance photographer. I could never bring myself to working 9-5 in a rigid work environment. I’ve tried it all – pharmacy assistant, cashier, dental hygienist, office manager, receptionist at doctor’s offices..

Currently

I get really excited when I pair with a company and we just hit it off. I love nothing more than bringing ingredients together and creating a story or a recipe that just showcases their products SO well. I am so excited when I can help other photographers with their questions and help them get closer to their dream goals!

I officially started Sculpted Kitchen back in 2020, after sharing all of my content on Instagram for a few months. I gained so many requests for the actual recipes that I decided to start a blog, so now here we are!

I started to experiment with creating my own recipes from scratch and since then, I haven’t stopped baking. Everything I’ve learned has come from years of trial and error.

Yes, all of the food photography you see here is done by me.

I use two different cameras and lenses.

Yes! I only collaborate with brands I know and love.
