The Scouted Table IRL was an absolute delight of an evening! We loved bringing a shared culinary spread from Volume 11 to life and celebrating the best of local Chattanooga cuisine by way of our friends at @lookout_limo!

Hopefully some R&R is in store for this long weekend ahead, especially for those that have survived the first few weeks of back to school craziness! 🙃
We checked in with three of our TSG Volume 11 Members that are juggling small businesses ownership and children for their advice on navigating this crazy transition back to school. Click our link in bio and check out the latest blog post!

About 5 years ago at @chattanoogabwhs, Courtnay from @chattanoogashoe introduced me to Penny and Ben, Owners of @thefittingroom and I had major imposter syndrome. At that time I had just taken over The Scout Guide Chattanooga, and was still getting to know the small business community. Penny and Ben have this extremely cool and confident air about them, and they are amazing at what they do!
It’s been a privilege working with them and promoting their store for 4+ years now! I’m constantly inspired by their kindness, inclusivity, and generosity. Their collaborative and creative minds make working with them a total joy and I’m honored to call them colleagues and friends.
Shop tons of great local businesses at the final day of The Boutique Warehouse Sale tomorrow Noon-5 at @parkside.hall 🥂
As Amanda Booker, Owner of Agapè Medical Spa says, “If it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t work.” 💪
Watch as I take on two of the most popular and result-producing services at @agapemedicalspachatt …I cried less than a handful of times 🫣 but can confidently say that my skin is now the softest and smoothest it’s ever been, and my products glide on like butter!
I’d like to publicly apologize to my husband, Mark, who tried Morpheus 8 first several months ago and told me it was super painful and I rolled my eyes. 🫢😅
The constant quest for the perfect photoshoot location ✨
Scouting photoshoot locations is a huge piece of the production puzzle to add variety and familiarity to the Guide. About half of the concepts we pitch to TSG Members each year require a specific location to really sell the look and feel of the final photo. Something as simple as “shooting in front of a home” comes with hours of deliberation and research…
👉 Identifying the style of home that we need: mid century, European, craftsman, etc.
👉 Brainstorming our resources or blindly driving around looking for the right fit.
👉 Once we find it, getting permission to use it! (For instance, the mid century home we wanted to use for @ericamoyerbrowandbeauty took many failed attempts at contacting the owner based on who we knew built the home/had lived there previously. Finally, it came down to us leaving a handwritten letter in the mailbox, and thankfully the homeowner reached out and was willing to allow us to shoot there!)
Even bodies of water, abandoned warehouses, vast concrete walls, and interiors of homes often take site visits, walk throughs, light tests, etc. to ensure it will be the perfect fit for shoot day!
Here are some of our favorite on location shoots from Volume 11 📸 @caseyyo
Last week, we took a casual Friday stroll down Williams Street to a beautiful commercial design by @featherlane.co ✨
We love the use of texture and custom art, and how the smart design creates two different purposes within the same small space.
