Hey Reader,

Summer has hit it’s peak!! I’m loving these slower summer days up north ... trying to escape the heat, but even on break my type-A self can’t help but start planning for the busy fall season a bit. 🌲📆

And it got me thinking …

If the thought of coordinating family photo outfits just before your fall session makes your head spin, take a deep breath … because summer is the perfect time to plan ahead—without the rush. ☀️

Because choosing what to wear shouldn’t feel like a chore—especially when you can flip through a free, sun-soaked style guide that does the planning for you.

Introducing the BGP Summer Seasonal Lookbook —a dreamy, magazine-style download designed to take the guesswork out of photo day.
