The World of Photographic Artist Sarah McTernen
Sarah is a wife and mother from University Place, Washington who opened her own on-site photography studio in 2005. The business was a way to offer unique portrait services to the Western Washington area, and a way for her to sell her art, the corner stone of the idea. Sarah's art is a fusion of classical photography and a bit of whimsy. She takes everyday objects from bugs to motorcycles and turns them into eye catching photographs that always lead to conversation.
Beyond being a photographer, Sarah is a talented writer and poet. She has put together a book compiling her early poems and photographs called One Cream, Two Sugars which is currently for sale at www.blurb.com. She also has a children's book titled Painting Life. Locked away inside her brain and computer are three major novels and a few more minor ones. Keep your eyes open for more information on these upcoming projects.
If you are lucky enough to have met Sarah McTernen, then you know her affinity for cooking good, quality food and making some of the most yummy cheesecakes not to come from a professional baker. Raised in her German Grandmother's kitchen, Sarah learned the power of food at an early age and carries that passion into her everyday life.
