Documentary-Lifestyle Photographer
Based in Sunshine Coast Queensland
20 Countries & Counting
Elopements, Birth Stories & Brands
Photographing people & the moments that matter most.
Hi, I’m Sara — I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a documentary lifestyle photographer based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, capturing stories that matter — the quiet, intimate, deeply human moments that make your life yours.
I specialise in elopements, birth stories and brand & travel photography, documenting stories in a way that feels natural, relaxed, and true to you.
My approach is documentary and story-driven, focusing on real connection rather than posed perfection. Whether it’s the stillness before a ceremony, the first moments with your newborn, or the beautifully ordinary chaos of family life, I photograph the moments that often pass unnoticed — but mean everything.
While I’m based on the Sunshine Coast, I’m available for travel anywhere in Australia and worldwide for elopements, and storytelling sessions.
If you're looking for a Sunshine Coast photographer who captures authentic, emotive, and timeless images, you’re in the right place.
Testimonials
"We had the best experience with our engagement shoot! She made us feel so comfortable, hyped us up the whole time, and had creative ideas that still felt completely us. The photos are natural and not overly posed, which we love. Plus, sneak peeks that night and such a quick turnaround! We’re obsessed 🤍"
"We had the most beautiful experience with Sara for our family photos. She made the entire session feel fun and completely natural, none of us ever felt awkward or forced.
One of the things that meant the most to us was how she connected with our ASD/ADHD son. She made him feel comfortable enough to open up, play around, and be himself. Even when he preferred running off to do his own thing, she somehow still managed to include him in gorgeous family shots. That alone speaks volumes about her patience & talent.
Sara created such a relaxed atmosphere that we hardly even noticed she was taking photos and when we did, she was so warm and lovely.
We are so grateful for the memories she captured and will absolutely be coming back for future sessions. Highly, highly recommend 🤍"
Life is full of beautiful moments.
It's my privilege to help you remember them.
Sara Kross
Documentary-Lifestyle Photographer, Sunshine Coast, Australia.
I’m a documentary lifestyle photographer based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, but before anything else, I’m a wife, a mum, and an artist at heart.
Originally from Canada, I now call Australia home — trading snowy winters for salty air and long days by the ocean. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me at the beach with my family, cooking something delicious, or chasing around my one-year-old.
As a storyteller and creative, I’m drawn to the beauty of real life — the quiet, fleeting moments that deserve to be remembered. That’s what led me to become a Sunshine Coast documentary photographer, capturing stories that feel honest and deeply human.
I want your photos to feel like memories — not just how things looked, but how they felt.
If you’re drawn to natural, emotive photography, I would be so honoured to tell your story. I photograph across the Sunshine Coast and beyond, and I’m always happy to travel wherever your story takes me.
