Cute Headbands

I was sent a few adorable clips and headbands a few weeks back from Billiebrand's Etsy Shop. She does such a great job! Check her out here.

Tip #3. Long Veils.

I am a HUGE fan of a floor length veil, not huge actually, ENORMOUS fan! Chapel, Cathedral, Grand Cathedral, you name it.
For some reason, I haven't had many brides sport the long veils. It's so sad! I just don't understand it ladies. I am writing today to show you what an amazing accessory these gorgeous veils can be and how amazingly awesome they can make your wedding and bridal images. I think if you see them the way I see them you will fall in love.

Check these puppies out and tell me you don't want one-

This first image is from Yervant. My absolute favorite veil photograph of all time.

These next 5 are from my favorite photographer of all time, Mr Jerry Ghionis. His talent is just ridiculous!

Th next 3 are from Cliff Mautner. One of my top 10 fave photogs.

Probably one of my top 5 fave photogs, Susan Stripling. She is a master of sunsets. All of her images have that warmth to them. Just plain beautiful.

I apologize for all of you ladies that are already married like me and chose to go with a different length veil because I'm sure you now all have veil envy like I do. BUT, I still have my wedding gown and am going to schedule a TTD session for my 10 year anniversary and you better believe I will switch out my old veil for a long one. It'll be my second chance! I can't wait!

And if you're not yet wed, just keep in mind what an important role a veil plays in your wedding photos. No matter what the length, I dare you to be bold with it and make a statement. Whether its a cathedral veil like these, or a fun birdcage or short funky veil. Your wedding images will thank you!

Feel like you've seen that image before? You have! It's from Brittney's bridal session shot back in November and that session was featured today on the Utah Bride & Groom Blog. Love that!

Thanks Tessa for the feature!

Katie and Nick. Engagements. Utah Wedding Photographer.

I was so happy to be able to have an afternoon of shooting with Katie and Nick. Nick is my brother-in-law. He is so smart and so way nice! I love him! And his fiance, my soon to be sister-in-law Katie, is so sweet and beautiful. Their such an awesome pair and so fun to hang out with. Thanks for freezing to death with me and for all of the cute outfits your brought! I 'm glad you found your jeans Katie!

I seem to have this silhouette obsession lately. I can't get enough of sunsets and silhouettes.

Just got home from shooting Katie and Nick's engagements and this image caught my eye while I was uploading.
I'm going to bed right now but I'll post the rest of this session next week so stay tuned! :-)
Sleep tight!

Thumbs Up Thumbs Down. 1/24/10 - 1/30/10

I had been sitting in Primary for about 15 minutes and was beginning to wonder why sweet little 4 year old Max had been staring at my feet for basically the entire 15 minutes with such a wierd look on his face. I was starting to worry. Finally, he looked up and said "Sister Binks, how come there's a hole in your shoes? I can see your toes?"

Me: "They are supposed to be that way. They are called peep toe shoes.

Max: "That's wierd."

I love you little Max.

This brings me to my THUMBS UP!

ALDO SHOES and the LEWITT shoe that arrived on my doorstep this week.

Make a shoe black, sparkly, super high heeled and top it with a bow and you have perfection for your feet. I smiled like a little kid on Christmas morning when I opened the shoe box and saw these puppies staring back at me. The make my feet look so much cuter than they really are. Thank you Madam Lewitts!

And for my Thumbs Down?

Commercials that are significantly louder than the programs they are supporting.

I have to admit that I haven't really seen an entire commercial break for a long time now. I tivo everything and watch it back later so I just skip the commercials (Hey, let's give a thumbs up to that while we're at it! Love skipping commercials!). But I did actually have the TV on during a commercial break this week and it reminded me that the commercials always seem to be a million notches louder than the actual program. Is that really necessary? Do I sound like an old lady? I do, don't I?

There you have it! If you want to thumbs up or down something in the comments I will high five you next time I see you!

XOXO- Camilla
