The rst edition of The Scout Guide Jacksonville Beaches & Ponte Vedra is dedicated to the city and people that make the Beaches and Ponte Vedra great. These incredible small business owners and organizations have not only welcomed me with open arms but have also allowed me to share their businesses throughout the community that I’m so proud to call home. This guide showcases these businesses and the faces behind them, reminding us that this is our community and these are the people who keep the Beaches and Ponte Vedra such a great place to live.
Although this guide is made up of many strong and wonderful business owners who weave a fabric of civic involvement, charity, and service, it would not at all have been possible without the contributions of our amazing photographer Emily Alwood. Emily, there is no way to thank you for all the beautiful work you have done for this guide. You have helped us showcase our members and allowed them to really shine through the guide. My deepest appreciation also goes to The Studio Next Door Jax and the generous use of their studio space. We created many of our members’ fun and fabulously styled photoshoots in their studio, giving these great business owners the opportunity to let their personalities come forward and let people get to know them for more than their businesses. Another huge thank you to Paige Netting and Courtney Little of In Good Company Events. I am forever grateful for all of your hard work — creating a beautiful event for the Launch Party, celebrating volume 1 and all of the members. To my husband Nickolas, thank you for your endless love and support. You are my biggest cheerleader and none of this would have ever begun if it weren’t for your encouragement. To my two precious boys, Smith-James and Hampton, I love you both dearly and I hope you grow up to love this community as much as your father and I do. Lastly, I would not be the woman I am today without the lifelong love and support of my mother Ann. She has shown me time and time again what it is to live with grace and that one can have a life that balances a successful business with being a great mother.
As we start to scout for volume 2, we will continue to look for the incredible people who make our community great. Let us also remember how much it means when you shop local. As the daughter of small community small business owners myself, I know rsthand that it is the local business owners who keep a community together and thriving. Thank you for allowing me to put this guide together, it has been an honor and privilege.
LIVE. LOVE. LOCAL.
