Smiling Horses .... Things which make me SMILE Shelly Perkins Photography of Oklahoma


God's Beauty
Things which make me SMILE..... Smiling Horses

Our family lived on a farm for a short time when I was growing up and we had four horses. I loved running out into the fields with them or just sitting in the grass and watching for hours. I loved these creatures and their beauty. I still love horses and hopefully, someday will have a small amount of land where I can again keep a horse. I do however, have an English Mastiff who is almost the size of a horse, but not quite. LOL

Recently, I was blessed to photograph a few horses on a ranch. This guy was great. He actually got out and played in a mud puddle while I was there. I don't know if he was showing off for me but while he was covered in mud, he sported the biggest smile, which I captured here. I hope you enjoy this image as much as I do. It serves as a memory to me that we are the keepers of God's creatures. He made them to keep us company here on Earth.

Enjoy, Shelly

EXPECTING BABY BELLY SHOTS from Shelly Perkins Photography



Before the tornadoes started to roll in on Monday evening, I was able to meet a wonderful mother and mother-to-be in Mustang, Oklahoma. Deidra is having her third and last child. She wanted some special shots with her husband and her belly to document this moment that will never come again. She chose Shelly Perkins Photography to create these special motherhood images just for her. I'm proud to help them record this special moment for their family.

NEWBORN BABY PORTRAITS by Shelly Perkins Photography of Oklahoma



I'm doing a whole series of newborn portraits with eggs and little nests. The best baby portraiture is made when a newborn is under ten days old. They're still new and squishy. They are easily bended and molded and they don't mind a bit. If you're interested in my making your newborn baby's photograph, call me at 405.229.2671 or send me an email at perkphotography@aol.com. Let's make something for your family to cherish for years to come.

SMEYAK WEDDING by Shelly Perkins Photography of Oklahoma

Forever Photography by Shelly Perkins














I shoot a Very LIMITED number of weddings per year. For many years, I shot weddings every weekend and I no longer do that.
The weddings that I do shoot, I try to capture moments that will be special to the couple because these are their forever photography images which will be passed down for generations.

Krissy & Steven were married in Oklahoma City. Krissy is a teacher and lives in North Carolina while Steven resides in Ohio. They chose to get married in Oklahoma where Krissy grew up and had a beautiful intimate ceremony. I was very blessed to be part of their special day.
