Highway to Heaven VBS photos by Shelly Perkins Photography

Highway to Heaven VBS

HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN was the theme for Highland Baptist Church's annual VBS week. I was blessed to have the opportunity to spend the week photographing the kids as they learned Bible stories, heard about missions, played games, made crafts and even got to see the 316 race car! Here's a video for you of the week's fun events.

Grandma and her Kiddos by Shelly Perkins Photogrpahy

I had a great morning photographing Grandma Sandy and her kiddos. It's been so hot in Oklahoma this summer which has limited my location shoots to early mornings or late evenings. These times offer the most optimum lighting situations anyway, especially before the heat returns to 100 plus degrees each day. I wanted to share my favorite image I created for this family's new home. Grandma Sandy is such a great grandmother and these kids really love her.

Emma's 2nd Birthday Party by Shelly Perkins Photography

I had the opportunity to photograph a birthday party for little princess, Emma. This girl loves the water and what better place to have her party than at a water park. Two year olds are always an adventure and never want to sit still. I just like to stay in the background and wait for moments to naturally happen and record their true emotion and enjoyment of the moment. Here's a custom storyboard which I made for Emma's mom.

Route 66 Kicks by Shelly Perkins Photography

I recently was able to spend an afternoon with my husband cruising in my convertible down Route 66. Living in Oklahoma, we are lucky to have a strip of this historical mother road with some really cool attractions and sites. One of my favorite places to take my kids is Pops in Arcadia, Oklahoma. It's so fun to watch them debate over the hundreds of choices of soda.

We had a great day trip driving on Route 66. Luckily, my husband is a pretty good sport and never growls when I want to stop somewhere to shoot pics. I wanted to make sure I made a funky shot with the Route 66 sign to signify the fun associated with the road. I hope you enjoy this shot which I'm going to metal print and hang in my own home.

So if you or your kiddos get bored, jump in your car and get your kicks on Route 66.

Carly & Mitchell's Wedding by Shelly Perkins Photography

I just have to share Carly and Mitchell's story. Mitchell is a Marine and came home to Oklahoma on leave from Hawaii. He and Carly planned their wedding within two weeks, before he has to go back to the Middle East. It was lovely and such an honor to photograph their wedding. You can tell these long time sweethearts are so in love and will have a wonderful, long life together.

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.
