About Sarhn

Sarhn, owner of Sarhn McArthur Photography, VFM Photographers and ask her about her Greeting Cards that you can post from your own computer!

Early Years

Sarhn’s photographic journey started very early in her childhood when she discovered a passion for photographs. “I can remember even at the age of eight, being inspired by my mother’s camera. With her camera in hand, I felt I had the ability to explore the world around me. It was a way of expressing how I saw my world – through the eyes of a child”.

After high school Sarhn decided to turn her hobby into a career, by entering Griffith University – The Queensland College of Art. She studied part time in the creative arts and photography while working full time with two professional photographers in Brisbane. It was during these years after experimenting with technique and style, that she formed and established her artistic way of photographing people. “Photography is and has always been a passion of mine. Therefore I find myself being driven by this passion to continually learn and stretch myself to produce photographs that my clients and I, will truly be amazed and forever happy with”.

The ‘Sarhn McArthur Photography’ Story

Sarhn selected Sydney Road Balgowlah to build Sarhn McArthur Photography’s photographic studio so to better establish herself in Sydney after moving from Brisbane in 1996. Then in 2004 she turned her photographic studio into a more mobile business. “This now means from the time you inquire with me to the time your photography order is ready, I will come to a location that is convenient to you and a time that suits your lifestyle – I will be coming to you instead of you to me”.

Through Sarhn’s name as a wedding and portrait photographer, she has been asked to travel all over Sydney and NSW. As well as frequently returning to Queensland and Melbourne, she also captured wedding images overseas in New Zealand, Norway, Thailand, London and Italy.  “It is an honour and a privilege to be asked to photograph a couples wedding day.”

James Truslow Adams once said “The great use of life is to spend it on something that will outlast it.” Through the medium of photography Sarhn believes she can do this for people. Capturing people, relationships, friendships and life for the present and following generations to remember just how special life is forever.

“Excellence in photography is and has always been the driving force behind my work and business. It is not simply a career for me but a deep joy to be able to capture someone’s personality, life, relationships and celebrations on film.

To be invited to capture the different stages of life is the greatest honour that I experience as a wedding and portrait photographer. To be present in a couple’s wedding and then years later to be invited to photograph their first child. Photographing a young lady as she leaves for her high school formal and then to be invited to capture her joy again on her wedding day. No greater privilege can I have than this”.

Note

“I know that my name is unusual, which I understand might make it hard for people to search for me on the web. It is very easy to misspell my name and for this reason people may find it hard to find my site when searching using my name.”

So with this in mind below are some of the common ways people misspell my name, to help you find me when searching on the internet: Sarn MacArthur, Sarah MacArthur, Sharn MacArthur, Sahrn MacArthur, Sarn Mcarther, Sarah McArther, Sharn McArther, Sahrn McArther, Sarn MacArther, Sarah MacArther, Sharn MacArther, Sahrn MacArther
