Book by early November and plan to shoot by late November. Galleries arrive within 1 to 2 weeks, and most card printers need several business days plus shipping, so a late-November session leaves time to mail cards in mid-December. Weekend afternoons in November fill first.

In December, Sacramento sunsets fall around 4:45 p.m., so golden hour starts in mid-afternoon. Most winter holiday sessions begin between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. If you want twinkle lights in the background, the 20 minutes after sunset give a soft blue sky with the lights glowing.

Yes. Halloween sessions are costume portraits in October at a park, a pumpkin patch or your front porch. Thanksgiving can be a family session before dinner or documentary coverage of the gathering at home. Fourth of July sessions are summer-evening family portraits, with sparklers at dusk if the location allows them. Fireworks shows at night are not covered, since Angie works with natural light only.

Yes. At home, Angie uses the light from your windows, so sessions are scheduled for the brightest part of the day and the tree lights stay on as warm background glow. Clear the area around the tree and pick the room with the biggest windows. Outdoor sessions and at-home sessions can be combined in one booking.

Pick two or three colors and let each person wear a mix of them: cream, olive, burgundy, navy and camel all photograph well in winter light. Knits, corduroy and wool add texture. Matching pajamas work for an at-home session. Avoid large logos, neon and busy patterns that pull attention away from faces.
