Sitting through a photo session can really be a hard task for kids. They have an attention span shorter than the Arizona winter, and by the time your session is over, they need the chance to get a little wild. If you are looking for the best way to reward them without them feeling too cooped up, a trip to a restaurant might just be the perfect thing! As a Scottsdale family photographer, I love working with families to plan every single part of their sessions. Here are the best kid-friendly restaurants in Scottsdale to hit up after your pictures.

Isabella’s Kitchen at Grayhawk Golf Club is one of the best kid-friendly restaurants to take in the Scottsdale sunset! This spot has one of my favorite outdoor patios in the area, with a relaxed setting, so your child can move their legs a bit while waiting for their meal. And while the atmosphere is amazing, it’s their pastas and pizzas that will keep you coming back for more!

Adults can enjoy margaritas, whiskey cocktails, and espresso martinis. Meanwhile, kids can order chicken tenders, mac and cheese, or crispy shrimp. They also have snacks like charcuterie boards to really take things over the top!
