Shay Wills Photography: *Welcome Home Box Family*

What a wonderful day today was. I was asked to photograph a "welcome home" from Uganda, Africa for a family with their new adopted boy, Enock. What a special thing to photograph and so close to my heart after spending a summer in Uganda. The Box family have a ton of loving friends and family that were so excited for their return home and to meet the new family member. They filled the baggage claim of the Austin airport with signs and balloons to welcome their arrival. I truly have few words that can describe how special it was to share this with these people. I feel so privileged to photograph such an exciting event. It was hard for me to hold back the tears as I thought about the hundreds of orphans I met in Uganda and to see one finally have a home. There is so much need in that country and few people with hearts like the Box's. They have done such a special thing for that little boy and I know that God was smiling down on this whole event. I hope that you can feel the love and excitement poor out of these images...
