Enjoy Your Summer !

Hope you're enjoying your summer ~ Can you believe how HOT it's turned in just the last couple of days.  The weather has been so lovely this summer, esp. in comparison to last summer's record setting heat, but I knew it just wouldn't last.  After all, this is Oklahoma and the summer's are always extremely warm if not COOK THAT EGG ON THE SIDEWALK HOT!  Ugh!

Engagement Photos in Norman, Oklahoma by Shelly Perkins Photography

What a great day I had meeting Diana and Chris from Norman, Oklahoma. I had a fun afternoon running around the campus of OU, the University of Oklahoma, photographing their engagement photos. They are a super fun couple and were up for just about anything. I'm looking forward to photographing their wedding in Norman too. I wanted to share one of the images from our engagement shoot. I just love this building and it's architectual style. Norman has a lot of great things to offer residents and toursits alike. (Oh and go Sooners.... LOL)

Children's Photography Art for their Bedroom

I love being asked to visit someone's home to make a special piece of photography art to be hung in a child's room. It is an honor to make an image which will be a part of what the child sees as he or she is growing up. When shooting in a child's own environment I can capture a his or her true personality and spirit. I love being able to use their favorite toys or bed and the fabrics that already exist. This will compliment the photograph and makes the portrait very cohesive and pleasing to the eye.

This is a portrait of little Elizabeth from Texas. I have created a portrait to be hung in her bedroom. I captured Elizabeth's beautiful eyes which draw you into the image. She is lying on her own bed and has a dreamy look on her face which truly captures her at this time in her life. I am honored to make this image for her and someday when she has kids of her own, I know this portrait will mean even more to her family.

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.
