The social media star, who uses the handle @thebirdspapaya, recently revealed it can require hundreds of takes to secure a flattering photo.
She shared an image lying back in the sand with waves lapping around her legs.
But in an outtake – Sarah is seen squinting as she wades through the water trying to get in position.
The 34-year-old, from Ontario in Canada, admitted it would've been even tougher if shooting video content.
She captioned the post: "This is why I need photos to still be a thing bc it takes 300 pics to get one good one and I can’t be like that for consecutive seconds."
Sarah's post garnered 27,200 likes – and many agreed with her message.
One responder wrote: "Love it! Beautiful and keeping it real as always."
Another said: "I feel ya – the struggle is real! Beautiful 300th pic."
A third commented: "You have no idea how much you've helped me with my body image."
And a fourth added: "Thanks for letting us into the fun today."
