and get it done in the easiest way possible!

Let's tell the next chapter of your family’s story. 


Another year’s gone by, time to update the family photos!

Let’s go in prepared & run the session calm, easy, and fun. Then celebrate with ice cream! 🍦🎉

I’m here to take to-dos off  your plate … so you can keep doing what only you can do: momming-it. 

Whip out that pen and sticky note & add to the to-do list: find family photo date, look up locations, pick family outfits, coordinate schedules 

You’ve run through *this* system plenty of times …

  • Booking a family session in the midst of the crazy fall schedule
  • Guessing what looks good on camera 
  • Hunting for a good photo location
  • Begging your 7-year old boy to wear his button down for just a few more minutes 
  • And not knowing where to start with sorting through the 150 photos, printing, & Christmas cards

But what if you had a little more help, then your photographer just showing up with a camera & leaving you to figure out the rest?

(*pops 2 ibuprofen* … this is going to be a headache)

You don’t need another session that is loud, hectic, stressful, and leaves everyone on edge. 

These years are going by faster than you even realize.


We can’t skip out on this because you're tapped out from your previous family photos experience being too stressful. 

This is where I step in …


Did you know that 50%+ of your time with your children will be used up before their nineteenth birthday?

You want each quick season with your children captured to tell your family’s complete story.
 
And missing even one session is sad. 

The kids are changing so fast — Let’s get your updated photos of them up on the walls before they look totally different again.

You choose the *month* you are wanting to have your session, and as we get closer to the month — and you have a better idea of your plans — I will reach out to plan the exact date & time.

For my BG Moms, I offer wardrobe assistance … tap into this as much or as little as you need it. Some BG Moms hop on a Zoom call for a Pre-Session Planning Meeting, others ask for help with a styling board via email, some have quick wardrobe questions, and others completely rock it on their own!

oh boy do I get that… I am hosting 3 petite session days this Fall with 20 minute sessions.

Does printing your photos feel overwhelming? Too many printing options: photo paper? Canvas? Metal prints? Frames? Matting? Accurate coloring? Sizing? Cropping? And how do you find the best 4 pictures out of a gallery of 150 amazing photos? *Enter the BGP Design & Ordering Appointment* a Zoom call where we sit down together and choose your favorite photos and decide how you want to print them and we order them together at that appointment. Off your checklist!

I’m on a mission to make taking family photos — not only easy-peasy for you— but enjoyable!

  • This is for the mom who wants me to take off her plate as much as possible & yet wants the freedom to take control where she thrives. 
  • Every BG Mom I work with has different strong suits … Some thrive with styling their family’s outfits, others want all the help they can get. Some love having help printing their photos others know exactly what they want and rock it on their own
  • Some love a full session because it gives them a good, long amount of time to go at our own pace & leave with a bunch of photos that they can use throughout the year. Others want to get it done the quicker the better … the kids won’t hold up past 20 minutes ... so let’s get to work capturing only the photos you absolutely want. Got it!

THAT’S RIGHT MY FAMILY SESSIONS ARE COMPLETELY CUSTOMIZABLE. 

Let me help you plan your way to a stress-free photo session that still leaves room for you to do what works for your family. 

You know what’s best for your family. You call the shots. I follow your lead & roll with the punches. 

So, take the best & leave the rest. 

 the guide I give to all my private session BG Moms. 10 Pre-Styled Family Outfits for you to pick and choose from with direct links to go purchase any items you love! It truly has never been easier to style your family’s outfits!

I've got you covered!

I won’t make you choose your top favorite photos and pay extra for every image after that. You get to have them all, I promise.

Full access to every image in the gallery!

to help guide you through choosing outfits. So, that you can know what looks wonderful together and on camera! This way you can go into the session confident that you and your family look amazing together!

And, I'll let you keep

every 

good photo!

And here’s the thing, the more time & energy you put into these photos … the more pressure that is on the line. The higher the stakes, the more stressful the session. 

And you remember the way you *feel* when you look at a picture. If you feel stressed during the session, you will remember that everytime you look at those photos. If you feel calm and happy, that’s how you will feel when you relook at your photos. 

Styling? I study it. Making kids laugh? Challenge accepted. Printing? The cherry on top – let’s get it done right the first time to save you money in the long run! 

After 7 years of taking family photos, I know this world like the back of my hand.

You could always hack this system & find a photographer for less — sure. But then you’d be paying in your time figuring out all the pieces and parts. 

And you’re too young for gray hairs. Save it for the things that should *actually* be causing them, like your 3 year old learning how to play with the stove top knobs.

Crystal Kasperson

“The last time we had professional photos taken was at our wedding, I was a little worried that my husband wouldn’t be into it, but Bethie was so fun and easy to work with we both had such a great time, that the whole evening felt like a playful date night! And the photos turned out better than I could have imagined and my husband loved them!!”

Emma Preston

“Before booking with Bethie, I was worried about what we were going to wear to our session and if we would feel awkward in the photos. But Bethie made the whole experience amazing! She helped with posing & positive feedback throughout the shoot. It made us feel comfortable and able to enjoy being together, taking photos, and not being stressed. And I LOVE THE PHOTOS! They perfectly capture our love!”

Abby Carter

“Bethie did a phenomenal job of making a frazzled mom, a dad who doesn’t love getting his pictures taken, and two little kiddos look put together and relaxed!!!! She’s amazing! We love our photos and will cherish them for years to come!!”

Emma Bronson

“I had a Pinterest board of exactly how I wanted my senior photos to be (surrounded by desert wildflowers), I showed it to Bethie and she helped me plan my whole session and she even found the wildflowers! I couldn’t be happier with how the photos turned out… they were everything I was dreaming of! And Bethie was so fun to work with!! 10/10 would recommend!”

Alyssa Golden

“I had concerns about my kids not looking at the camera or being too wild to capture anything and she walked me through the whole process and calmed all of my fears! She offered outfit advice and incentive ideas to keep the kids happy. She was so patient and thoughtful and I felt so good going into the shoot. And the pictures were just the icing on the whole experience! We LOVED how they turned out and she captured each one of our kid’s personalities so well!!” 

Kristin Thiel

“As a mom of two little ones, planning a session can feel a bit overwhelming, but you made it such a happy, stress-free experience. The kids cooperated so well because of your joy and relationship with them which made me relax during the session. You made it feel effortless and I appreciate it so very much! I absolutely adore the photos!! They are such treasures for our family that we will cherish for many years to come. We cannot wait until our next session with you!”

Cami Facer

“Bethie was so amazing to work with!! Planning a session for a busy family with two littles can be a lot and the sessions can easily feel hectic, but Bethie was so helpful! I followed her style guide, had my hair and makeup done, and she was always just a quick text away for any help planning and choosing outfits and the location! And the session was such a breeze!! I’m IN LOVE with the photos!!”
