Wills Family | Mesa Family Photographer |

The Wills family are such a sweet and amazing family. This session was for their adoption announcement officially welcoming the youngest three into their forever family. When Katie first contacted me and told me she had 5 kids, I was super excited! I love working with kids and big families! Parents are usually a little nervous, rightfully so. Ha! But Katie had nothing to worry about! This session was easier than some that I have had with only one kid! They were all so happy, willing to have fun and were all so fun! There outfits were so cute! Check out the adorable cactus ties the boys had on! Everything was perfect!

Brody's Woodland Nursery

If you don't know, our family loves the outdoors. I grew up camping, Brian hunted in high school and now we hunt and camp SEVERAL times throughout the year. When we found out that we were having a boy, I instantly began looking at ideas for boy nursery. Up until this point all I had ideas for had to do with PINK. As I looked and looked and looked, I did not like what I was seeing. Nothing spoke to me. I found some bedding that I kind of liked, but it was way out of our price range. But the good thing was, it gave me a starting place for what I ended up with. I wanted Brody's room to encompass what we love, I wanted it to be manly, I wanted it to be something for him to grow into. I started collecting items from Hobby Lobby (too much to list), antique shops (small deer horns), Brian's parents house (many of the vintage toys/tractors/cars), my dads hunting collection (large deer horns, a hunting dog picture painted by my grandfather), Amazon, eBay, etc... So this is what we came up with. I would say this is "woodland vintage". Brian built the shelves and the super awesome Radio Flyer wagon shelf. My mom and my sister spent a morning with me setting up Brody's room. I really had no plan to begin with, but everything just fit perfectly! I know this style is not for everyone, but for us and Brody, it is perfect!
