Story Behind the Spread
|

Behind the lens—and in front of it.
Carly Gilleland and Nicki Arnberger, the powerhouse duo behind and , stepped into the spotlight for their Volume 4 spread—bringing the same creative energy and clear vision they’re known for in video production.

Together, we aimed to create a scene that channels the spirit of a vintage Western film while highlighting their fresh perspective and passion for capturing meaningful stories on video.

The photoshoot took place in front of a projected image of Camelback Mountain—one of the Valley’s most iconic landmarks—serving as both a dramatic backdrop and a nod to their deep connection to the region.

This moment unfolded inside The Blank Canvas area of The Good Vibe Studios, their 2,000-square-foot multi-use creative space in Phoenix. More than just a stunning location, the studio is a thoughtfully designed hub for photography, video production, podcasting, and fostering community among local creatives.

They recently marked three years in their studio—a natural extension of their established work as a female-founded video production agency. With clients like Make-A-Wish, PXG, NASCAR, and Create & Cultivate, they’ve built a reputation for crafting brand stories with genuine intention and heart.

Including shaping how you’ve experienced The Scout Guide from the very beginning. As out video partner since Volume 1— the good vibe team has captured the energy of our events, the behind-the-scenes moments of creative season, and the unique stories of our members through their dynamic lens.

And the story only gets better—we’re collaborating up with them again for Volume 5 to bring even more of our own story to life on video. Stay tuned!

With a distinctive eye and storytelling edge, this all-female team continues to bring good vibes to great stories.

The Story Behind the Spread | Earnhardt Auto Centers

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For this iconic new member feature, we set out to honor one of Arizona’s most enduring legacies—capturing the spirit of the West by spotlighting a business pioneer and the next generation of this family-owned and operated car dealership.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On the right: the one and only Tex Earnhardt, photographed decades ago atop a classic car hood—signature cowboy hat, boots, and all. He founded Earnhardt Auto Centers in 1951 with a simple promise and a whole lot of grit.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tex’s sons, Hal and Jim Babe, eventually joined him in the business, followed by his grandsons—Dodge, Derby, and Bull. Today, the Earnhardt family leads one of the nation’s largest privately held automotive empires and the most recognized auto dealer group in the Southwest.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At a time when family-owned automotive companies are increasingly rare, the Earnhardt family remains hands-on—frequently present at their dealerships and directly involved in day-to-day operations. Over the years, Earnhardt Auto Centers has grown to include 15 brands and 17 dealerships.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What makes this dealership truly iconic isn’t just its longevity in the Valley—it’s the fact that it has remained family-owned, with Tex’s vision still driving the business forward.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To honor that legacy, we photographed the next generation of the Earnhardt family, blending tradition with the enduring spirit of this beloved Arizona founded brand.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On the left: the next generation of Earnhardts—and their vehicles—bridging past and present with authenticity and pride.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Still family-owned.
Still “No Bull.”
Still a name you can trust.

The Story Behind the Spread | Mill & Habs


A modern millinery rooted in craftsmanship, Mill & Habs is the vision of founder and designer Ellie McNary. Tucked away in Old Town Scottsdale, her studio is where heirloom pieces come to life—each one shaped by hand, trimmed with vintage finds, and finished with bold, expressive design.

Each piece is handcrafted in-house using premium felts, vintage and imported trims, and hand-shaped blocks—resulting in one-of-a-kind hats that don’t just complement a look, but elevate it with bold, expressive design.

For our shoot, we leaned into the duality that defines Mill & Habs: the precision and quiet discipline of the making, and the unmistakable statement of the wearing. Two distinct scenes brought that vision to life, capturing Ellie’s work as both artisan and designer—and the bold individuality her hats inspire.

Every piece is a study in structure, silhouette, and self-expression.

Visit their Scottsdale showroom to experience it for yourself. Whether you’re customizing a one-of-one or finding something ready to wear, Mill & Habs invites you to stand a little taller.

The Story Behind the Spread | Wunderkind
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For Volume 4, we had the pleasure of collaborating with Wunderkind owner Philip Manghisi to craft a spread that illustrates his vision of offering a curated luxury retail experience in the desert. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Prada Marfa installation, our creative team aimed to highlight the exterior of his Scottsdale boutique, which has become a haven for luxury enthusiasts in the Valley.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Philip’s journey in fashion began at a young age, driven by a lifelong passion for design and craftsmanship. After years of honing his skills in the industry, he opened Wunderkind in January 2022, curating a selection of European and American brands that are often exclusive to his Scottsdale store. His meticulous approach ensures that clients discover unique pieces not commonly found elsewhere.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In our shoot, we aimed to reflect the dual essence of Wunderkind: the meticulous curation of high-end fashion and the bold statement of its presence in the desert landscape. Through contrasting scenes, we showcased Philip’s vision as both founder and curator, celebrating the individuality and confidence each hand selected piece embodies.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Visit Wunderkind at 7293 N Scottsdale Road, Unit 102, Scottsdale, AZ.
