Working with local businesses is one of my favorite parts about this job! There are so many creative people and wonderful photographers to work with, this is why I was so excited to be part of this years Catch me at Luxe mama shoot out. It was an opportunity to get lots of great pictures for Scottsdale Moms Blog while meeting other people in the community. If you are a photographer wanting to expand your portfolio, you should follow Catch me at Luxe to find out when the next local shoot out will be!

Along with some other local bloggers, we met at the adorable Mini Social in Old Town to capture some fun lifestyle moments. There were so many creative shots that I would never be able to capture myself…..reading through the window, rolling on the floor, making a mess with yogurt….things that may stress a mama out, but a photographer can capture some real beauty in!

My kids got to have a wonderful morning playing (and eating all the snacks) while some amazing photographers got to show us their skills.

Every photographer has their own style, I loved getting to see how the same location and people can look so different based on what that photographer can do. They are so talented!

I can’t wait to share more of these photos! Be on the lookout on our social media over the next few months for more and check out the photographers at the links below.
