About Author

Hey hey! My name is Sarah, and I’m the creator behind Foodtography School, where I’ve taught over 10,000 students how to improve their food photography through fun and information-packed online courses. I started my food blog, Broma Bakery, back in 2010 when I was a broke college student looking to bring creativity into her daily life. What was intended as a passion project has since grown into my career.

Since going full-time with my blog in 2013, I made it my ultimate goal to strengthen my food photography. I lived by the adage “content is king,” believing that as my food photography improved, the content itself would open doors.

And guess what? It worked. Actually, it more than worked. Broma Bakery grew beyond my wildest dreams into a 6-figure business within a matter of years. All because of my photographs!

…which is why I created Foodtography School. So that I could pass along the knowledge I’ve gained in the past 8 years of learning food photography. Because we are only strong when we band together.

Foodtography School is more than a course; it’s a community of individuals building each other up and helping each other grow. I’m so incredibly proud of the students who have already come through our course, and cannot wait for you to become one of them.
