Little Miss Harlie ~ Oklahoma Children's Photography by Shelly Perkins Photography

I had a great time shooting photos of little Miss Harlie. This two-year-old is so full of energy and I had so much fun chasing her around her grandpa's backyard. Here's a sneak peak of the session I couldn't wait to share.

The Branson Sky by Oklahoma's Shelly Perkins Photography

Looking off near the Branson Landing, Branson Missouri

Recently I had the opportunity to spend a few days in Branson, Missouri. One of my daughter's was attending a dance convention while I ran around exploring Branson. Unfortunately most of the time it was raining, however once the sky opened up, it presented me a beautiful image I just couldn't resist. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did photographing it.

Baby Emma from Texas by OKC Baby Photographer Shelly Perkins Photography

I just returned from a quick trip to the Dallas area for a photo shoot with one month old, Baby Emma. I just had to share a glimpse of her. She's such a beautiful baby and I feel so blessed to have photographed her.

Newborn babies change so quickly and the best time to get these little squishy, sleepy baby portraits is the first ten days after they arrive on Earth. Although Emma is a month old, she cooperated, slept and made some great expressions for us to capture. When we are on location, we like to record at least a few images in their rooms or space they share with their siblings. These become very special images because this is their room and their special place to be a baby. When Baby Emma grows up she will be able to see the room where she slept as a baby and learn more about herself. Every family should invest both money and time into their baby's first portrait. This time goes by so quickly. Don't forget to capture this special time before it's too late.

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.

PPO (Professional Photographers of Oklahoma) Photography School Continues for Shelly Perkins Photography

Wow, what an intense week of photography already! I am having the greatest time at the Professional Photographers of Oklahoma Photography School. My current instructor, Don MacGregor, is an amazing environmental portrait artist who typically is commisioned for $5000 for a master portrait. He is from Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada. I'm learning so much and feel very blessed to have met and studied with him.

(Okay, where's waldo? I mean where's Shelly? LOL)

Professional Photographers of Oklahoma School this week!

I'm headed to a week of photography school with the Professional Photographers of Oklahoma at St Gregory's University. I'm looking forward to a great week with other professionals from Oklahoma, Texas and as far away as Canada. I love going to classes and believe you can never be too educated. I always try to keep up with the latest trends and new photography techniques, so my clients may benefit. Wish me luck and I'll be back with some fresh ideas to share with you.
