Just for fun! | Tulsa Portrait Photographer
My good friend (who happens to be named Sarah as well, – awesome name! - and has frequented my blog this past year) came over and we went out to shoot a few shots just for fun. 
Its cold, and with the holidays and snow, I was getting an itch to shoot something other then my own kids or for work. As much as I love and adore my 2 sweet children, they can be a pain to photograph. (I blame PCS – photographer’s child syndrome, they despise my camera and will do just about anything to avoid it)
SO since Sarah is used to having a camera in her face and I think secretly likes it, she offered to be my guinea pig …. eh …. model for the afternoon.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!
LOVE #2!!!!!!

January 16, 2010 - 7:35 pm - These are great! I wish I had a friend that did that for me....step in front of the camera willingly!!
January 22, 2010 - 12:06 pm - Stunning! I just saw you reply to my post on ilp so I had to check out your blog. You are an inspiration. I love your use of backlight (i need help) and I love love love the sharpness! so crisp and clear. thanks for your reply to my post! Carrie
Looking for 6-12 month old babies! | Tulsa Baby Photographer
I’m so excited to announce this model call! I have lots of new ideas to try out with this age and am needing new faces for my website! I’m speicifically looking for babies age 6-12 months. In exchange for being my model, you will receive a custom session and one 8×10 portrait of your choice (total value of $170). Since I have specific ideas to try, wardrobe and styling will be directed by the studio, although I am happy to include a favorite “look” of yours at the end of the session (according to baby’s temperment). If you are interested in participating, please send a recent snapshot to sarah@sarahmansurphotography.com and I will get back with you within a week. While I’d love to work with everyone who responds, this model call is limited to ten babies.
Our Christmas 2009 | Sarah Mansur Photography
For the first time in 10 years, it felt like Christmas. My sister and her family came down, and we crammed 10 people into my moms house. (we are living here now, since we sold our house, and we haven’t closed on the house we are buying yet!) It was the first year that my son really knew Christmas was coming and understood what it meant. We counted down the days with him, and he woke us up Christmas morning singing Happy Birthday to Jesus and asking when we could open presents. It was a good Christmas this year.
We also had SNOW, which never ever happens. The dream of a white Christmas came true for Oklahoma, and it did’nt even melt the next day like normal! In fact, there is STILL snow on the ground right now! Lots of it! I grew up in Phoenix, so snow still has that magical wonderful feel about it. It also reminds me of my dad, and making a snow man with him the first winter we were here in Oklahoma. So no, I am not one to complain about the snow. I don’t mind my pants getting wet or my toes freezing, or the slick street or the big trucks/SUV’s on the side of the road who think they are all that beacuse they have 4WD and ended up in the ditch, or it takeing 30 min to drive the 3 miles to downtown Jenks. Nope, I love it all.
So, with that said, on with pictures from our snowy, Christmasy days!!!
Christmas Eve (Peekaboo, I see you!)
Reading a Christmas story with Uncle Kent
…with 3D glasses on. lol! (they are ones that make the lights from the Christmas tree turn into shapes)
My mom’s pretty tree!
Mom said she had a snowman for each of us kids. I think I’m the cute one in the middle. 
Oh, and we had LOTS and LOTS of food! This was just the beginning of it over the past few days! I swear I’m never eating again…
Christmas Morning! I loved the warm haze that was coming through the window from the sunrise. Even tho it was freezing cold out, it still looked warm.

See, told you we got snow!!
Presents! My kids got so much stuff…..Im gonna have to clear out the old toys to make room!
My niece figuring out that they had gotten a Wii!!!
Who doesn’t love TinkerToys!?
And we went out to play in the snow. The kids were NOT impressed. Little boogers…
I think that is the cue to go inside….
Just pretend I had pictures here from Christmas dinner. I totally forgot to take any, I was way too busy EATING it all. But here is the pretty desert Rachael made! YUM!

I was wondering if you are still in tulsa because I will be coming there either feb march or april but i was wondering if YOu could do my daughter and I's Pictures and how much you charge. Maybe we could talk about where and stuff I have never gotten professional pictures done so i dont know how it all works. But please let me know thank you!
January 6, 2010 - 3:17 am - I really love all of these pics and being able to share in your Christmas that way. I'm glad you had a good time and got to be with your family. Mine wasn't great, but we made the best with what we had. Did I mention I really love the pics above? :)
