What is a pet session in Citrus Heights like?
Active dogs in Citrus Heights get their best photos in motion. Angie uses fast shutter speeds and an open stretch of grass near Rusch Park, Tempo Park, and the Sunrise Boulevard corridor for running shots, fetch and recall, then follows with portraits once the dog has burned off the first burst of energy. Late afternoon when the mature oak canopy at Rusch Park filters golden light across the open grass gives the light for both. A long, thin leash keeps the dog safe where the park requires it and shows less in the photos. Bring the toy that always works. Most sessions start from parking at Rusch Park and Tempo Park with easy neighborhood access, run 45-60 minutes, and deliver 20-35 edited images within 1-2 weeks.

Yes. Most dogs do not hold a pose for long, so the session uses that energy: running shots, play with a toy, and short sits with a treat held above the lens. Angie shoots fast in short bursts and lets the dog take breaks. A walk before the session takes the edge off for very excited dogs.
Yes, usually at home. Cats are calmer in familiar rooms, so Angie works near your brightest windows, lets the cat come and go, and uses a wand toy or treats to catch attention. Plan for a slower session with breaks; some of the best cat photos happen in the last ten minutes once the cat relaxes.
Parks with open grass and shade, river trails, open fields and quiet neighborhood streets all work, and so does your own backyard or living room. Many Sacramento-area parks require dogs on leash, and some trails do not allow dogs, so the location is confirmed against the park's rules before the date.
Yes. Sessions for older or unwell pets are kept short, close to home or in it, and move entirely at the pet's comfort. Tell Angie about any mobility limits when you inquire, so the plan avoids stairs, long walks and heat. If timing matters, mention it, and she will tell you the earliest date she has.
About photography in Citrus Heights
Rusch Park is a local favorite: mature trees, open grass, and a community garden area that photographs beautifully in afternoon light. Tempo Park offers quieter, more intimate settings with oak canopy and picnic areas. For something more natural, the nearby Sunrise Boulevard corridor connects to American River Parkway access with canyon views and wildflower-lined paths in spring.
Spring and fall are ideal. March through May brings green grass and blooming trees throughout the parks. October and November offer golden oak canopy and comfortable temperatures for longer sessions. Summer works well for golden hour shoots when the evening cools off.
Citrus Heights is about 15 miles northeast of downtown Sacramento, roughly 20–25 minutes via Interstate 80 or Sunrise Boulevard. Angie covers Citrus Heights regularly and does not charge a travel fee for this area.
Prepare for your session
Angie confirms the location's leash and dog-access rules with you before your date. Bring water, a towel, the favorite toy and plenty of treats, and mention any mobility limits.
