The secret to a stress-free first day of school!
Published 17 days ago • 3 min read
Hey Reader!
The idea that the morning of the first day of school is hectic no matter what … I just don’t *love.*
The thought that you have to wear all the hats: you want be a present mom for your children, but pulled in a million directions, & want a photo of them all dressed in their first day of school outfit is a lot.
Here’s the thing, even with ALL the prep you do beforehand (lunches premade, bags packed, outfits laid out) … the morning of the first day of school is crazy!
Do you ever feel like that?
Hi—can you see me waving over here at you? 👋🏻 I know it may seem like a lost cause, but I want to challenge that this year!
And I’m thumbs-upping you on where your head’s at: That’s NOT the way the first day of school has to be!
It wasn’t long ago, my mom was in the same boat …
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 brothers)
⬆️ The *unofficial* BGP Team (aka the Grondin Family) at the first Back-to-School Portrait Day!
It was the best-kept secret and now I’m letting the cat out of the bag & sharing it with you
Because I want the same for YOU.
That’s why I’m hosting the BGP Back-to-School Portrait Day and you’re invited, because I don’t want you convincing your 5-year-old to get her shoes on faster on the first day of school, but instead have time to pick up a coffee on your way!
Join me on Friday, July 24th, from 4:00 - 7:00 pm
… bring your kiddos dressed in their first day of school outfits & fresh backpacks on and let’s capture a sweet photo of them heading back to school!
It’s time you realize you can have both: the first day of school pictures you want & be the fully present mom they need.
Bring the whole family & come enjoy the event – let’s kick off the school year the best way possible!
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 – l like to keep it quick, fun, and easy … especially for our little learners.
I’ll snap a good photo of each one of your children ready to start another school year
And it will arrive in your inbox, just in time for the first day of school
Let’s capture these sweet photos now because before you know it the next picture you'll be taking will be their senior photos. And you want to remember when their backpack was too heavy for their little shoulders.
That’s why I’m so excited for the BGP Back-to-School Portrait Day! Let’s capture a photo you will cherish for years to come!
Let’s make you the cool, breezy mom! (you can be present, focused on your kiddos & not worried about the first-day picture — knowing I’ve already got it covered!)
→ You want a good, long session to give you the time & space to capture the photos you love without the hurry that comes with a petite session.
→ You want more than just the standard photo that any photographer can take -- you want photos that are unique to your family & tell your story a bit more.
→ You want photos that have more creativity, fun composition, and a nice mix of candid & posed photos ... those types of photos come by giving me more time to workshop & play around during the session!
