I was pleasantly surprised by how many amazing local shops there are in Phoenix! My parents retired in the Phoenix metro several years ago but we hadn’t gotten to explore in the city during any of my visits. So on this year’s trip, I wanted to get a taste of the local scene in Phoenix. In today’s post, I’m sharing 5 unique local shops in Phoenix! I’ll be sharing more guides soon, so be sure to check back.

During my Phoenix visit, I was able to meet my parent’s horse Maverick! My parents retired in the Phoenix area 3+ years ago now and board a horse nearby. Growing up on a farm in Eastern Washington, my parents had a ton of horses, so I grew up training and riding horses. Since graduating high school, I’ve always lived in a city so I don’t really get the chance to ride horses often. It was so fun getting the chance to ride again after 5+ years!

Over the Thanksgiving holiday I flew to Arizona to be with my family. My parents retired in Arizona a few years ago which I am very happy about because I LOVE the desert! I can’t get enough of the beautiful saguaros. Schyler would not be down with moving there because of the heat but it’s nice having a home base there that I can visit! During my time there, I really wanted to do a bohemian desert sunset photo shoot and I love how the photos turned out.
