There are plenty of stores along with a food court. There are some name brand stores and some stores not tied to name brands. There are deals regularly, especially around times like Black Friday and before and after any holiday. My wife really enjoys visiting the Outlets North Phoenix, and we'll plan in advance to spend a chunk of a day in the area visiting stores. I sometimes go in with her, and I sometimes take a book and read it outside while waiting for her. There are more than twenty shops at the Outlets North Phoenix. My wife's favorite is the Ann Taylor Factory Store. We also recently visited Under Armour and Rack Room Shoes. There is also a Coach Outlet, Gap Factory, Michael Kors Outlet, and so much more. The Outlets North Phoenix also has its own Cafes at Anthem Food Court, which includes Ruby's Express, Auntie Anne's, Charley's, Famous Wok, Fresca's Mexican Grill, Auto Boba, Pupetto's Gelato, and Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. There are other restaurants a short drive from the Outlets if more sit-down restaurants are desired. There are plenty of sales, discounts, and deals. Each day, different sales are listed on their website at https://www.northphoenixoutlets.com/sales. There are also military, senior, teacher, and student discounts (all published on their website). Be prepared to share IDs accordingly when taking advantage of the discounts. The teacher and student discounts range from 10 to 25% off depending on the store or restaurant. There is also a free Elite Rewards membership with a birthday gift and so much more, which you can find out more about at https://www.northphoenixoutlets.com/elite-rewards. Each store has its own hours though the general hours at 10 AM to 8 PM daily except Sunday when it is open 10 AM to 7 PM. Other amenities of the Outlets North Phoenix include an air-conditioned food court with free WiFi, resort-style seating, and flat screen televisions, restrooms and a mother's lounge area, complimentary wheelchairs and stroller rentals, covered parking areas, curbside loading and unloading, an outdoor, shaded children's play area and splash pad, pet friendly service, electric car charging stations, vending machines, "Things to Do" brochure center, and more.

When hiring princesses, it can either be perfection or a flop. These gals were wonderful! Walking through the park, they had all kids and adults eyes on them.

Enter my idea to set up a meet and greet with her favorite princess and current obsession Elsa! After conducting a Yelp search for companies in the valley and calling a few Wish Entertainment response was not only quick, but they were the least expensive and very accommodating (I felt especially so given I wanted to schedule smack in the midst of the holidays). The owner worked with me to make sure the meeting included everything we wanted and my daughter was awestruck! We got a video of the whole experience and will treasure it for a long time to come. The character actor was warm, social, and had a beautiful voice (she sang "Let it go"). The day after the owner emailed me some pictures she took during the interaction as well. Wonderful customer service and SO so special! I highly recommend Wish Entertainment for any character actor needs you may have. My three year old was in absolute heaven!!

Her style is the perfect balance between natural, formal, and casual, and she just seems to capture the emotions of the day. Well, we just received the first round of our proofs, and my heart is literally overflowing with joy and emotion over how beautiful they are. Nina captured so many moments that I wasn't even aware of because how can one person be everywhere at once? It seems Nina and her assistant were! It should be said that I did not advise my family to arrive early for family portraits. (I didn't want to deal with corralling them.) Serendipitously, they did arrive early, and Nina quickly got them organized. Using the list of family members she had us prepare in advance, she calmly and efficiently captured beautiful family photos that will be treasured for our lifetimes. She also captured the most adorable pictures of my daughter with her friends and her cousins-- moments I was not even present for. But Nina knew that they would be timeless and meaningful and took the opportunity to create fun memories. The composition of Nina's photos is stunning. The lighting, the angles, the softness, the contrast-- everything is perfect. She finds the beauty in the surroundings and creates the prettiest backgrounds. I appreciate how efficient Nina works, yet she has a calm energy, is professional, and helps move people along. We are waiting for the full set of photos as well as our album-- I cannot wait to see what else she has in store for us!!
