Christmas and Holiday Photos by Shelly Perkins Photography

I haven't been advertising for appointments while I've been attending the University of Oklahoma full-time this semester. However, over the Christmas holiday I will be taking a few photography sessions for children and families. Here's a little advertising promo that I put together showing some of my favorite images I've recently made.

Let me know if you're interested in making an appointment. Limited space is available during the kid's winter break. I can't wait to make some memories with your family. Best wishes ~

God's Beauty

We took our two youngest kids on vacation for their first visit to Hawaii. We stayed on the island of Oahu and found so many beautiful places. Many people just stay on Waikiki Beach, which yes is beautiful, but there are so many other places to discover. Finding an isolated beach, listening to the waves, feeling the sun reflect off the water made me feel so much closer to God. If God can make places this gorgeous on Earth, can you imagine how beautiful Heaven must be??

Vintage North Shore

Here's a little image I created on our recent trip to Oahu.  I LOVE Hawaii and have been blessed to visit four of the islands.  I shot this on the North Shore of Oahu and lovin' the vintage truck, added a vintage feel to the colors.

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!

Stay Tuned for Fun and Funky

I'm trying to update my website and blog with lots of new images and ideas.  My photography is undergoing some major changes ~ trying new styles and new post-processing techniques.  Lots of fun stuff coming and I can't wait to share.  I'm still LIMITING my photo shoots because I have this tendency to over-book and go a little crazy being way too busy.  Since my Daddy died a few months ago, I've really been trying to spend more time with my family and not constantly shooting pics of everyone else's family or working on my school work from OU.  I'm trying to put my family first. I'm only taking two classes this summer and not going on any huge conferences.  I'm still keeping up-to-date with some of the latest edgy looks and products.  OH I CAN'T WAIT TO SHARE (And get some new things for my house too).  So stay tuned ~

OU Duct Tape ?

While shopping this week from my never-ending list of art supplies for my classes at the University of Oklahoma, I noticed that OU has found yet another thing to brand.... Duct Tape! Wow, who'd ah thunk it? I can buy one roll of duct tape for TEN BUCKS!! Yet since it's branded with the OU logo, it is so special and makes it worth $10 instead of $3 or $4. Although I was tempted to buy several rolls of the crimson tape, I had to spend my money on the art supplies and my duct taping projects will be without the crimson and creme that I love so much.
