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.

Mindi & Keith's Wedding by Shelly Perkins Photography of Oklahoma

I was honored to go back to my hometown of Enid, Oklahoma this weekend to shoot wedding photos for Mindi & Keith Milacek. Their wedding was lovely and had some of the most wonderful details including wheat centerpieces from their own farm. I can't wait to share some of the images with you. A shout out to Mindi & Keith.... Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day. Also, thank you both for your service in the military. Be safe and God bless.

PPO School with Don Dickson for Shelly Perkins Photography of Oklahoma

WOW! My D-Squared class speaker is now with "the" Don Dickson from Plainview, Texas. He is currently serving as the President of the Texas School of Professsional Photography and will be serving as next year's National President of the Professional Photographers of America. What an honor to study with Don. I had several "light bulbs" go off in my head during his class, which even brought me to tears.
Thank you to all those who worked behind the scenes to help make this week happen. Doc Cope, Wayne Reese, Jon Smith, Veronica, and my list could go on and on. At times I felt like I was at boot camp. We shot outside a lot in 100 degree temperatures and not always in the best lighting situations. However, this was to make us better photographers. I always want to stay on the cutting edge of technology and what's current in photography. This week at PPO Photography School has truly been a blessing to me. I've met new friends, saw old friends and really believe God is blessing me and showing me ways to pursue my craft to honor him.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY from Shelly Perkins Photography Oklahoma Baby and Children Photographer

BABY GRAYSON by Oklahoma Newborn Baby Photographer Shelly Perkins Photography

Here's a sneak peek of this cutie, Baby Grayson. Amidst all the rain and flooding around the Oklahoma City metro area on Monday, we still managed to get photos of this adorable little guy. Newborns change so quickly and we wanted to catch him while he was still new to the world.

By the way, if you are having a baby soon, keep in mind when scheduling your newborn photos, to do this within the first 10 days of his or her birth. Babies change so quickly. Soon after birth, they figure out they are free and can move and stretch around. Once they have found they are no longer curled up in the womb, that time is lost, forever. So no matter who your favorite photographer is, call them and schedule your portrait while you're still pregnant. A good photographer will rearrange some time if your baby comes a little sooner than expected. ;0) Those babies have minds of their own.

RANDOM by Shelly Perkins Photography of Oklahoma

So ever once in a while I like to show a Random photo that I've taken somewhere along the way. Here's one for you. An old Cadillac, not sure the year, 1941 I believe. Whatever year it is, I thought it was a pretty cool looking car. Enjoy.

McG's FAMILY PHOTO SHOOT by Shelly Perkins Photography of Oklahoma

Elizabeth at Play!
I was in the Dallas, Texas area to shoot a mini-session of little Miss Elizabeth. As we waited for the rain to come we were able to get out and play and enjoy the moment. She is so full of life and I am honored to have been able to photograph her.
