MINI PHOTO SHOOT on Black Friday

Here's a little promo I'm doing ~ If you follow my posts or know my work you know I've gone back to art school at the University of Oklahoma. I'm having a great time at school but with my crazy schedule I've had to limit the number of shoots I'm doing. I've decided to do a few Mini Sessions this month and next to allow for those who want me to shoot their portraits some time with me as well as get an incredible deal. I'm going to offer a mini session photo shoot with the digital downloads of five of the images taken.


My first available date for this shoot is on Black Friday, November 25, 2011. So let your kiddos sleep in while you go shop ~ then come back and meet me in Norman for a quick, fun photo shoot. Like I said, THESE ARE EXTREMELY LIMITED ~ so call to reserve your spot ASAP.

FUN KID PIX with Oklahoma Children's Photographer, Shelly Perkins Photography

My Life, My Loves ~ Shelly Perkins Photography

I just had to share a personal photo. These are my three daughters. I love them so much and they are constantly cracking me up. They each have a totally different personality and I could not have asked for more wonderful gifts from God. I just giggle each time I look at this shot I made of them. I always let them finish off with anything they want to do when taking pictures and well, here's what I got.

NEW PATH for Shelly Perkins Photography of Oklahoma

My photography and art are taking on a little different path at the moment. In the spring I will continue to do children's photography. However, right now I am studying at The University of Oklahoma and working on some other projects. Check back in with my blog periodically to see what I've been working on. I hope you all enjoy. Have a blessed day, Shelly

TRON PLANE by Shelly Perkins Photography of Moore, Oklahoma

The latest release of Disney's amazing TRON movie inspired me to create the photograph of the TRON PLANE. Okay, it's actually a Cirrus SR22 GTS G3 Turbo Plane, which looks pretty amazing itself without the added Tron effects.

First Female Governor of Oklahoma

Today was a historic day for the State of Oklahoma. Governor Mary Fallin was elected as the first female Governor of our great state. Despite your political view, this is a great achievement! I attended the event with my husband and my two youngest daughters.

Anyone who has lived in Oklahoma knows the climate changes constantly. One day it can be 90 degrees and the next, the temperature can drop into the teens. Add the nearly constant wind and it can become quite chilly. Oklahoma decided to provide white snowflakes as the backdrop to this historical event and let me tell you, yes it was very cold.

However, we did have a good time and although I'm still thawing out, I was excited to be able to have my daughters attend.

Couples by Shelly Perkins Photography of Moore, Oklahoma

Visit to China (well in Disney's Epcot) Shelly Perkins Photography

PHOTO A DAY.....

We have been to Disney World several times and still unsure why we haven't yet bought stock in the Disney company. They seem to get a lot of my money. lol Of course, my girls' favorite place to visit is the Magic Kingdom, however my favorite place to go is Epcot. This is the greatest place ever and you could go on a kidless Disney vacation here and still have a fabulous time.

I created this image at dusk at the China Pavilion located inside Epcot. It is a hand held image without flash. Wished I had a tripod to elimnate some of the noise but it's a little difficult to carry around a tripod and chase children.

I LOVE the Asian culture and think their architecture is just beautiful. I hope you enjoy the ZEN feel of the image. Have a great weekend and take some time out of your busy schedule with your family and friends and devote a few moments to yourself. Get some ZEN !

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONs by Shelly Perkins Photography

So I have several New Year's resolutions probably like the rest of you. I'm sure some have already broken many and if you're like me, you've procrastinated to think of them until a week into the New Year. ;0)

My PHOTOGRAPHY New Year's Resolutions ~

1. NOT scheduling too much OR NOT having family time
I LOVE what I do and everything I do is Full Steam ! I am always traveling somewhere or working on a new project. I want to remember the most important things in my life and that's Christ and my family.

2. Continually attend educational classes and workshops to keep it fresh and fun
I've already enrolled in the upcoming Professional Photographer's convention for this year. My husband and I were able to attend together last year in Nashville, Tennessee. This month we're headed to San Antonio, Texas to attend classes with some of the biggest name photographers in the World ! It's going to be rocking and I can't wait to share some of the things I learn (AND of course) there's SHOPPING at the Photography Trade Show too. ;0)

3. Post at least ONE photo a day
I'm very bad about updating my blog with my new work. I'm sure some people wonder if I shoot at all with how little I had posted over the last couple of months. PLUS, I'm REALLY bad about my kids' photos and working on our scrapbooks. One of my daughters told me I've taken photos of her she has never even seen. I always have a camera with me but seem to always put my kids to the end of the line as far as my imaging. That's going to change this year. I will try to POST something once a day.

I won't share all of my other resolutions and personal goals for the year. However, I do want to share the BIGGEST ONE and it is EXPRESSING MY GRATITUDE. I am so thankful to have a wonderful supportive family and amazing friends. I have the greatest clients with the CUTEST kids and have the best job there is. I LOVE shooting photography of all kinds and love making images which I know are going to be keepsakes for these families. Please know, I really appreciate each and everyone of you. THANK YOU for taking time to read my blog and join my Facebook page. THANK YOU all. God Bless, Shelly
