we happened upon the gorgeous work of issy croker and were incredibly inspired by her work in food, travel and portraits. it is always a pleasure to come upon new and beautiful everyday inspiration when designing for the shop or your home. we hope you will enjoy her work and be awed as well!

Greetings! My name is Emily Burch and I am the daughter of the most stylish and creative shop owner, Bev.

I have decided to make photography my business and have become very passionate and serious about taking pictures. I have been capturing moments for the longest time and have learned so much over the years about different angles and lighting and how taking a picture in the sun is impossible! I love it more than anything though. I get the warmest feeling inside just capturing amazing pictures because they can capture some of the happiest or important moments of your life.

I recently started a website for my work:  emilyburch.net. I am so thrilled to be working with my extremely talented mother and her Willowette team! I am based in southern California and Arizona, but dream of being a travel photographer so I am always willing to make the miles!

I will be taking some interior design pictures of The Willow’s design work around Arizona; capturing the unique finds of Bev and Susan. My photography captures a wide range of subjects, from babies and kids to senior/graduation pictures to weddings and food photography (since i love to bake!).

Stay tuned for some new shots and posts of the most stylish boutique, The Willows! Also don’t forget to take a peek at my site. Many thanks!!

and in with the new! the advent of spring is always a good time to freshen up don’t you think? i know i am always yearning for a clean look come spring. fresh flowers, white linens, and hints of blue and pale pink come to mind. we are just in love with bella notte linens and would love to help you create your dream look in one of your bedrooms. come stop by and ask to meet with one of our designers to make your vision into a reality. now is the perfect time to freshen up with bella! happy monday. hope your week is off to a beautiful start!

sunday family dinner is always a good excuse to pull out something special for dessert. usually this is a rather nice dinner with family and why not celebrate that? these chocolate merignes with whip cream and chocolate sauce are just the thing for something special. in mimi thorisson’s book, a kitchen in france, you can find this and a host of other gorgeous recipes to wow. we carry it in the shop. maybe your perfect reference for Easter brunch or simply another lovely addition to your set of gorgeous coffee table books. it is as pretty as it is tasty!

nothing like a bouquet of fresh flowers to brighten up monday right? or a field of wildflowers! thankful for the beauty in God’s creation today; thankful for all of those gorgeous flowers out there, most especially the wild ones! happy monday to you and yours.

i simply love some of the classic old phoenix places that have stood firm over many years of change. El Charro lodge is such a place; a charming outdoor weekend brunch spot that will help you escape into vacation mode for just a bit. go for their famous sticky buns; they are killer! you may never want to leave with the gorgeous views and this perfect weather we are reveling in right now.
