The weddings in 2012 were beyond gorgeous. Shooting a wedding is like watching a 10 hour super romantic chick flick, and I love chick flicks. Sigh. Best job ever. Thank you so much to my beautiful 2012 bride’s and groom’s. I love you all.
Thank you to Alyssia, Maggie, Jessie and Breanna for your help assisting at these weddings this year. I couldn’t have done it without you!
Venue: Magnolia Grove
Hair and Makeup: Versa Artistry
Dress: Anthropolgie
May your holiday be merry and bright.
Remember my pretty friend Amberly? She’s now a Mrs. Here are a few from her wedding at Sleepy Ridge Golf Course.
Can’t wait to post more from Chuck and Annie’s gorgeous wedding at La Caille.
Such a special bride and groom at such a breathtaking venue.
Enjoying a rainy day here in Utah. Snuggling up with my daughters and a warm cup of yerba mate tea.
Also remembering THIS fun shoot today. It was featured on a lovely blog called Sweet Violet Bride. You can check them out HERE.
Also featured was the Circus Chic wedding inspiration on a blogging bride. See it HERE.
Hope you are enjoying the weather in your neck of the woods and the beauty that God has created for us.
Thanks for stopping by.
Much love,
Camilla
I finally decided to start a FB page. Find it HERE or by using this link: https://www.facebook.com/camillabinksphotography
26 likes? Yeah. I just started it and I haven’t told anyone about it until now. :)
Much love to anyone that heads over there.
I’ve had such a fun time mentoring these past few weeks. The shoots have been so fun and the friendships amazing. Thank you. I will continue to mentor here and there. If you would like to schedule a session then please send me an email and include a little information about yourself and where you are currently in your photography. You can be just beginning or a full on pro that needs some fine tuning or inspiration. If I think that we are a good fit for one another then we can schedule a date. I haven’t decided exactly how many sessions I will be taking, but not too many. I want to keep it fun and fresh so if you really want one then I recommend emailing me sooner rather than later.
Here are a few from mentoring sessions so far this summer:
As you can see from these images some people like hard lighting, some people like soft lighting. Some people like to shoot one person alone, some people like to shoot couples, what I’m trying to say is that no session is the same. You all have different needs and since the session is one-on-one I can address those individual needs and customize the shoot for you. So if you really want to learn how to do some great editing in Photoshop then great, if you don’t then great. Just email me and we’ll work it out. Sessions are $795 total. That includes a yummy home cooked restaurant meal. 
It wouldn’t hurt to send to both of these addresses just to be extra sure that it goes through:
info@camillabinks.com OR camilabinks@yahoo.com
NOTE: the second email address just has one L not two. Long story. Just copy and paste the addresses, don’t try typing them in. It’ll just mess you up.
And because a post is better with a bagillion tiny images…
Thanks for reading! Hope you are all having a great summer so far!
Much love, (seriously, if you are reading my blog then I FOR REAL love you)

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mother’s out there. The ones that I know and the ones that I have never met. I hope you have a wonderful day and know that you are loved.
I have some wonderful women in my life and WARNING I’m about to tell you about some of them and I may ugly cry. Feel free to skip down to the images. You won’t hurt my feelings.
It’s about to get all mushy up in here.
But I’m going to risk the eye rolls and get on with it.
These women need to know that I LOVE them.
For example,
I have an amazing mother that sacrificed being near her own mother to move to a new country and create a new and wonderful life for her children. I can’t image what life would be like if she hadn’t. Her life hasn’t been a cake walk and I know that her trials have made her so strong and oh so wise. I am grateful that she lives nearby and is able to share that wisdom with me. She is strong and creative, smart and beautiful. She’s an angel.
I have a one of a kind mother in law. In movies it seems that girls always have mean mother in law’s that are critical and over protective of their sons. My mother in law has always been the opposite. I lucked out in a major way. She does so much, like the time she took my colicky newborn for the night so I could rest, and the multiple times that she has taken both of my daughters for the night (or 8 nights) when I have had to go out of town. She is wonderful. She’s sweet, nurturing, compassionate and selfless. She’s beautiful and everyone that knows her falls in love with her.
I have an amazing and gorgeous older sister that is raising three daughters of her own and doing a pretty incredible job. I’ve looked up to her as long as I can remember. We probably have more inside jokes that anyone else. She is the only one that completely understands what my childhood was like. She lives 5 minutes from me so I am able to see her and my three insanely cute and funny nieces often. I could eat them up. I love them so much.
I have a sister in law that just might be the world’s best wife to my dear brother (who hopefully is not feeling left out today cuz he’s pretty awesome too). Although they are moving away in a few short months, I know that we will always be close. She somehow gets the strange humor in my family and seems to actually like it. I could not love her more. She’s one of my best friends. She’s beautiful, kind, helpful, patient, a top notch mommy and a great listener. She’s such a big part of my life and I’m so grateful.
Just a few cities away I have 3 more sister in laws that I adore, amazing aunts, cousins, friends, and lately I’ve made some really deep connections with women that I have mentored. They have really enriched my life. I have close girlfriends that live an hour away, close girlfriends that live just around the corner, close girlfriends in Argentina. I have an aunt and grandmother in Argentina that, although they recently passed, they spent two decades putting forth a great effort to keep in touch with me and make me feel loved.
But wait, there’s more. Two more women teeny tiny women that consume my thoughts every second of every day. I have been blessed with two daugthers. Two spunky, loud, kind, funny, beautiful daughters. Just one word or one look from them can bring me to tears. Happy tears. They are pure joy. On this mother’s day I am grateful to them for choosing me to be their mother.
I am now ugly crying.
Composing myself………..
Done.
I went out recently and shot a fellow photographer, and now great new friend, Karen. She is a mother to four, count them F O U R beautiful daughers. Holy cow.
Happy Mother’s day Karen. You are an amazing women and oh so beautiful.
I love your smile.
