POPS with Pops by Shelly Perkins Photography







































If you live in this great state of Oklahoma or are fortunate enough to travel through, I must suggest you head out to old Route 66 in Arcadia for an afternoon. It's only five miles off of I-35, so you can make a quick stop and get back on the interstate if you're headed North or South.

My husband and I had a great family day with two of our daughters and my father at Pops. The girls said let's take "Pops to Pops today!" What a great idea. I know I'm sounding like a commercial right now, but it's a great place to grab a good ole' burger at a good price and have some fun with the family. There are so many types of sodas to choose from (Yes, I said Soda...living in New York for a time keeps the 'Soda' word in my vocabulary. LOL) Of course you can't take a trip without taking the infamous tourist photo in front of the 60 foot soda pop bottle, so don't forget your camera.

After you have a meal at Pop's, head a little farther East on Route 66 to check out the Round Barn. My kids loved standing in the middle listening to their voices echo. Downstairs is a little museum with an old timer who is pretty interesting to speak to and will share stories of the old round barn if you just ask. This summer is going by so quick and I want to make memories with my children they will remember.

VBS Photos this Week

Wow, what a busy week I've had. My husband and I helped with our church's VBS services this week. We had so much fun. I was so blessed to shoot tons of candid photos of the kids and cute little headshots of each child, which they used in a craft to give to their parents. There were so many adorable little faces.

I've been so busy that I haven't had time to update my blog. It's sure not from lack of photography work but lack of time to get to the blog and show off some of the cute faces that I have been able to photograph. I will post photos in the next few days. Have a great weekend everyone.

Happy Independence Day from Shelly Perkins Photography





I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Independence Day! I hope you enjoy this Fourth of July. I would like to thank all the military, police, firefighters, EMT's and all those that work to protect our great country. Thank you for fighting for the freedoms that we all enjoy. Thank you also to their families and the many sacrifices that are made.

I am so fortunate to live in this country, to be able to worship God and walk the street without hiding my face or wearing a burka. I'm so lucky to be able to pray, anytime or anywhere. I can pray in public, before having our meal. I'm so lucky to be able to choose to marry my husband and not be required to marry for a dowry or an arranged marriage. I'm so thankful to live in this great country we call America. God Bless America.

Just wanted to share an image I made last year at Niagara Falls. We spent time in New York and were in Niagara Falls over July 4th weekend. Everyone have a safe day and spend it with those you love.
