You can have both: the first day of school pictures you want & be the fully present mom they need

Whether you are a seasoned pro sending your kids off to 3rd & 5th grade at the neighborhood school they've been going to for the past 5 years OR sending your little tyke off to pre-k for the first time … 

And it’s embarrassing to have mom taking a photo of you all dressed up in your Back-to-School outfits while your friends are looking

  • First days can be stressful – new teachers, new classroom, new school even? Was that one bell or two? Where do you line up? 
  • Your children need mom to be extra present with them 
  • Pictures take time & only add stress to the first day of school

Let’s make you the cool, breezy mom 

*cues song: Slipping Through My Fingers*

What if instead of convincing your 5-year-old to get her shoes on faster, you had time to pick up a coffee on your way to school!

And you want to remember when their backpack 
was too heavy for their little shoulders. 

Skip out on purchasing a letter board you’ll only use once a year … I’ll take care of everything you need to get a good photo of them heading off to school.

Before you know it the next picture you'll be taking 
are their senior photos.

Until one year she out-smarted the system and we dressed up in our first day of school outfits on the Sunday before school started and took our photos 

📸 In good lighting 
😍 With true happy smiles 
⏱️ Took our time 
🙈 & no friends watching the very introverted Grondin kids take photos (goodbye blushing cheeks & no smiles from my older brother)  

It wasn’t long ago my mom was in the same boat — 

It was the best-kept secret and now I’m letting the cat out of the bag & sharing it with you

Let’s beat those first-day jitters & unneeded stress and take a photo of your kiddos that you LOVE heading Back-to-School in their first-day outfits & fresh backpacks

That’s exactly why I’m hosting…

A Peek Into Past BGP

Back-to-School

Portrait Day

+ A good time! 

+ Think: chalkboards, books, apple juice, playground, happy kids, a playlist full of the best back-to-school songs, and good company. 

+ When it’s your turn up for the picture, we’ll say hi, get to know each other, and take a picture of your little one – most of the time it takes about 2 minutes or less to get a good picture of your kiddos and then on to the fun part of the event – l like to keep it quick, fun, and easy … especially for our little learners. 

+ You’ll receive your Back-to-School Portrait in your inbox where you can view and download your photo from your online gallery

If you’ve attended a BGP Event before you know it’s kinda a big deal... 

Here’s what other moms have said about past BGP Events: 

  • “What an amazing memory and precious gift for families. You are an angel. Thank you!!” 🥰 - McKenzie Ellefsen
  • “I  just really appreciate you doing these. We are starting homeschool this year and I think this will make it special for them.” - Hillary Anderson
  • “Such a blessing to have this done. Thank you!” - Lisa Carroll

If you’ve attended a BGP Event before you know it’s kinda a big deal... 

Here’s what other moms have said about past BGP Events: 

Or you could just pass on this photo all together … 

Besides how expensive they are PER KID ($$$ 😳) … the dark backdrop, awkward posing, and goofy smiles … they don’t show who your kids really are in this season & you will never use them anywhere!

And don’t even get us started on the school photos option … 

But sometimes it’s easier to have someone else help ya out — especially when it comes to taking pictures — someone who specializes in taking pictures of kiddos & capturing their true cuteness & sweet personalities.  

Sure, you could take this photo on your own … 

Less than their school photos
(& a whole lot cuter!)

But time flies ... the next thing you know you’ll be packing the car and sending your baby off to college & you’re going to want to remember just how sweet and tiny they were on their first day of school.

Just a Few Faves From Last Year

Meet Your Photographer

Hi I’m Bethie! 

I’m a family photographer in Gilbert, Arizona for busy moms who want to capture and display beautiful family photos. 

I have captured family photos for moms for seven years now… working with some of the best clients!

And now? 

I’m so excited to be hosting the BGP Back-to-School Portrait Day to help ease the stress on the first day of school and give you a precious photo of your kids going back to school that you will cherish for years.

I can’t wait to see you there, friend! 

How to Know If You & Your Kids Are a Good Fit For The Back-to-School Portrait Day… 

+ You’re a busy mom with young kids and want a good photo of them in their back-to-school outfits, new shoes, & fresh backpacks. 

+ You want every milestone moment of your children’s lives captured in a beautiful photo. 

+ You want to be as present and peaceful as possible on the first day of school for your kids.

Here’s What Others Have Asked Before Attending a BGP Event

Well, you’re in the right spot! I welcome all newcomers! When it comes to choosing a family photographer I recognize it is a big decision since this is somebody who would be working closely with your family and with your children… I don’t take that lightly! These BGP Events are the perfect ‘meet and greet’ type opportunities — come and say hi! Whether you come to enjoy the whole event and soak it all in or just pop by for a quick picture, I would love to meet you and your kiddos in person!

Pre-K through high school seniors are welcome!

Yes of course! You’re in good company too! We have plenty of homeschoolers join us as a fun way to kick off and make the start of the school year extra special! I was homeschooled too and so I love being able to cheer on other homeschool families!

This is the most affordable way you’ll find to work with me; $22 for general admission into the event, which gets you 1 photo. If you think about it: $22 for a photo that will be enjoyed truly for generations for less than a latte and lunch (+ tip), a Madewell cotton t-shirt, a pair of jeans on clearance at Target, a tube of foundation, or something you add to your cart to get free shipping.

Totally understandable! If it is a matter of timing on the day of the event, you could honestly come in, take a photo, and be on your merry way in a matter of 10-15 minutes. While I would love it if you want to stay and enjoy the event, I do understand the challenge of coordinating busy schedules… so doing a quick pop by is totally fine!

If the date doesn’t line up with your schedule for this time, you will be missed. However, I do host BGP Events quite frequently. You can CLICK HERE to add you name to the waitlist to be one of the first to hear about the next BGP Event that I host. 

I do! If you’re not happy, I’m not happy -- If you attend the event and receive your photo back, and don’t love it; before you download your photo(s), send me an email to let me know how I can improve, and I’m more than happy to buy it back! And the same goes for your matted print, if you’re not happy with it, we’ll work together to make it right! 

I’d love to chat! You can email me at bethiegrondinphotography@gmail.com

Let’s capture a sweet photo of your kids heading off to school without any stress or first-day jitters! 

However, you can’t sit around thinking about it for too long, the event is short and there is only one Bethie, so availability is extremely limited! And the last time I hosted this event it sold out TWICE in lightning speed!
