How does sports photography with Angie work?
Sports photography is a portrait and action session for athletes: high school and college senior athlete portraits, individual player headshots in uniform, and game-day or practice action coverage. Captured By Angie offers 45-60 minute senior athlete sessions and team/game-day coverage at Sacramento-area venues including school stadiums, ball fields, gyms, tracks, and courts, plus outdoor locations for lifestyle-style athlete portraits. Individual sessions mix posed uniform portraits with dynamic action frames, dribbling, swinging, sprinting, or sport-specific movement, and can include letterman jackets, gear, and personal touches like jersey numbers. Sessions are timed around golden hour when possible for warm, directional light. Deliverables for a senior athlete session are 30-50 individually edited images with a 1-2 week turnaround through a private online gallery; team and game-day coverage scales with the length of the event. Sports sessions are ideal for graduating senior athletes, club and travel-team players, and parents who want portraits that hold up printed large. Booking is recommended 3-4 weeks in advance, and earlier for senior-night and playoff dates.

Both. Most bookings are individual senior athletes who want uniform portraits plus a set of action shots. But I also cover teams and clubs: individual player portraits plus live coverage of a game or practice. If you are organizing team photos, reach out and we will build a plan that fits your roster and schedule.
That is the goal. Shooting at your home field, court, or track makes the portraits feel like yours: not a generic backdrop. I know a lot of the Sacramento-area venues already, and if yours is new to me I will scout the light ahead of time. Just check whether your school or club needs access cleared in advance.
Fast shutter speeds and knowing the sport well enough to anticipate the moment. For posed action I will have you repeat a move, a swing, a jump, a drive to the basket, so we nail the framing and the peak of the motion. For live game coverage I track the play and shoot in bursts to catch the frames that matter.
Three to four weeks ahead is ideal, and earlier for senior-night and playoff windows since those dates cluster and fill fast. If you want golden-hour light at the field, we will schedule around your practice and game calendar so the session does not collide with your season.
