Hey Reader!

For my sister’s graduation, we went to a *fancy* dinner. The sommelier (You know, the guy whose whole job is to pair guests with the perfect bottle of wine & tell the beautiful backstory of each grape behind it.) glided over with a practiced smile … and I panicked.

I like to think of myself as a classy lady, but in that moment? I blurted out, “Whatever white wine you think is good … I’ll take it.”

No swirling, sniffing, or gracefully going through five S’s. Just sheer overwhelm. 🫠

Same energy here. Sometimes the best move is just going with what everyone else can't stop talking about.

So if you've been wondering what mini sessions people actually keep coming back for (like, sliding into my DMs asking when it's available again), here's your inside scoop:

🎉 The Greatest Hits: Mini Session Edition

Downtown Gilbert Minis
Why it’s a fan fave:

Perfect for the “we want something new and different for our Christmas card photos!” crowd. Photos that look like you were just walking down Main Street, USA. You’ll love these!!

Only 7 spots left | 2 dates


Coons Bluff Minis
Why it's addictive:

Doesn’t matter if you’ve called Arizona home for years or just moved here—these are for you.The golden desert light is ✨so dreamy✨

Morrison Ranch Minis
My BG Moms' all-time favorite:

Green grass, white picket fences, trees … feels like you are in a story book!

It’s my favorite too. These sold out fast. I opened one more time slot for each day … now there are only 2 left.

So if you want one? Book it right now.

Real talk:

My calendar looks like someone burst a confetti cannon on it … it’s really fun! 🎉🤪

I’ve tried—squinted my eyes & looked at it from every which way—to squeeze in more mini dates.

But alas! There is only one Bethie and only so many days in the month.

So this is it. When they’re gone, they’re gone.

If you’ve been eyeing a slot? Snag it now so you’re not refreshing your inbox next month asking when it’s back.

Want the full lineup?

Now off to steam dresses & settle last-minute “Do you like the floral or the solid dress better?” texts for our family photos this weekend. 😅

Warmly,

P.S. I’m not sure I’ll ever get tired of texts like these:

P.P.S. No surprise here: I'm clearly Type A and already dreaming up minis for 2026. If there’s a location you’ve been hoping I’d shoot at, hit reply and tell me—I’d love to know what’s on your wishlist!

P.P.P.S. That fancy-pants sommelier ended up pouring the most delightful Pinot Grigio … the whole night was a dream. ✨🤍

Moral of the story? Sometimes following the crowd and trusting the expert leads to something pretty great. Even wine.

Hi Reader, Most businesses are in full-court-press mode this week. I’m... not. Here's what this week actually looks like for me: I'm not launching anything new or running a flash sale. I'm spending my energy on tying a bow on BGP for 2025 instead of promos this season … that looks more like spreadsheets & journals, than blogs & reels. I’m finishing up my last few sessions of the year & getting my mind wrapped around Spring 2026 Minis The business runs around my life, not the other way...

The homeschoolers have been keeping a secret, Reader … And maybe I’m breaking the homeschooler code by telling you this, but here it goes: When we started homeschooling, one December day we finally cracked. We vulnerably told our seasoned homeschool friends, “Oh boy—how are you all doing this so effortlessly?” They smiled and said, “Oh, we all take December off from school.” Wait…that’s allowed? Yep. You make the rules. Here in Arizona, we want to enjoy December’s cooler days. We rest during...

Hey Reader! I know there are mixed opinions about Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving, but if I could I would string garland and lights around this email for you! 🎄✨ Before your inbox turns into a circus of “LAST CHANCE 50% OFF” subject lines this month, I wanted to slide in with something that feels a little different. I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to build a business with purpose—not just in theory, but in practice. BGP has always been about supporting families, through...
