Baby & Children Photography in Moore, OK

I absolutely love what I do. I love that I get to meet people and the little ones who are most special in their lives. I love babies. I love seeing their eyes light up and watching how they look at their mommies and daddies. There is such a short time when babies are babies. Capture that moment and preserve it before it is gone. The first year of life is so precious. Give me a call to discuss what kind of photography you love and how you want to record this special time. 405.229.2671.

ALLIE's 5th Bday Sneak Peek from Children Photographer Shelly Perkins Photography

I want to share a sneak peek of Miss Allie. I was blessed with taking her five-year-old birthday portrait this week. I surprised her with balloons when we met at the lake. We had so much fun at her shoot. Thank you Allie for playing with me.

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.

Brothers at Play by OKC Children's Photographer Shelly Perkins Photography

Here are a few of the images I made for brothers, Colton and Caiden. They are such cuties. In spite of the 100 degree weather, we had so much fun shooting their photos.

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.

Oklahoma Photographer ~ Shelly Perkins Photography featuring beautiful blue-eyed Faith

I just had to give a sneak peak of beautiful little Faith. I was so privileged to photograph her and her mother. Faith has the most amazing blue eyes. She was a little shy at first but when she found out that we were just going to play and have fun, she opened up and I was able to make some amazing images of her. I hope you enjoy.

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

Happy Father's Day to all the Daddies in the World....esp my Daddy. I love him so much. Guys....you have a very big job and especially those daddies with little girls, oh my. No matter how much your little girl grows up, she'll still always be your little girl. Everyone have a great Father's Day. God bless.

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.

Had a great time with the Newcastle Racer baseball team. I shot individual and team pics. Afterwards, I even got to stay and watch the game! These guys were great and I really had a fun evening. Thanks Racers for having me out to shoot your pics.

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.
