Portrait Sessions
Whether it is just you in a golden field, two best friends celebrating a milestone, or a couple who wants something more personal than engagement photos — these sessions are about capturing who you are right now. Natural light, real locations, genuine expressions.
Starting at $250
What is portrait sessions?
Portrait session photography captures individuals, duos, and small groups in natural outdoor settings — fields, parks, urban backdrops, and scenic locations throughout Sacramento and Northern California. Captured By Angie offers 45-60 minute portrait sessions on location, using natural light and real environments to create relaxed, editorial-quality imagery. Sessions work for solo portraits, best friend shoots, couple portraits, milestone celebrations, social media content, and creative projects. Deliverables include 20-40 individually edited images with a 1-2 week turnaround, delivered through a private online gallery. The approach is guided but not posed — Angie provides direction on movement, placement, and expression while keeping the session relaxed and natural. Retouching is minimal, preserving skin texture and genuine expressions. Photographer Angie Shvaya shoots at locations throughout Sacramento, including open fields, tree-lined paths, downtown architecture, and riverfront settings, selecting backdrops that match each client's vision and personality.

Frequently asked questions
Wear something you feel great in. Earth tones, soft neutrals, and muted colors photograph beautifully outdoors. Avoid busy logos and neon. If you are coming with someone else, coordinate tones without matching exactly. Bring a second outfit if you want variety — I send a style guide after booking.
Yes. Portrait sessions work for solo, duos, and small groups. Whether it is you and your best friend, you and your partner, or a group of three — the session adapts. Larger groups work better as a family or event session.
Between 20 and 40 fully edited images from a standard session. You will have plenty for social media, printing, and saving. Every image in the gallery is polished and ready to use.
Anywhere with good light and a backdrop that fits your vibe. Open fields, tree-lined paths, downtown Sacramento architecture, the American River Parkway — I will recommend locations based on what you are going for. I know the best spots across the Sacramento area.
