Portraits by Angie Lane Celebrate Life Blog

Fashion Friday is a new feature I’m going to start on my blog. Choosing what to wear for a session is probably the most stressful aspect of doing the photoshoot! So to help give you some ideas of things that work well,  I will post ideas I’ve seen in catalogs of outfits that are great for photoshoots. This week I am posting ideas for girls and boys. These outfits will work well in an Urban or Country setting. I’m listing the store where I found these items, but you can find cute outfits all over — these are just to give you an idea of things that would look good.

I love Old Sacramento! If it wasn’t so far away, I could do every session there! We had to reschedule this session a couple of times and of course, when we were finally able to do it, we get there and find out it’s the Jazz Festival! There were thousands of people in Old Sac! Luckily we were able to find some spots that were fairly clear of the crowds. I have a TON of favorites!

Here’s a sneak peak for the S family! When I went to do the session, I couldn’t believe their little man was so big! I would never have recognized him (I did their maternity and newborn pictures for him two years ago!) Best of luck in the next couple of weeks and I can’t wait to shoot your newborn pictures!

I can hardly believe Miss K is already 5!! She was one of my first clients when she was just a newborn! (Hard to believe I’ve been in business for 5 years! — Check back next week for a special promotion celebrating 5 years of business). Anyway, K is always so photogenic — I hardly have to tell her to do anything. She is involved with a special Portugese festival so I asked her mom to bring her crowns and some of her fancy dresses. Those are some of my favorite pictures! (Although it really is hard for me sometimes to pick a favorite!). Happy (late) birthday Miss K.!

I am so excited to unveil my new blog! Take a look around and check out all the new features! In the menu above, you can click on the link for “Categories” and then select any category you would like to view — such as country sessions, urban session, etc., and all of the posts with information or images on those sessions will come up. You can also search for a specific post by entering a term in the “search” box. 

And best of all — you can now sign up for blog updates by clicking on the “Subscribe” button above. When the new pages comes up, click on the link for “Get Portraits by Angie Lane Celebrate Life Blog delivered by email” (it’s located in the box in the upper right corner with the headline “Subscribe Now!). You will receive an email with a link that you need to click to confirm your subscription and voila! You’ll get updates automatically! This is important because I will be having specials that are only available to blog readers — and you don’t want to miss them!

I will also have several new features on my blog including photography tips, specials, information on limited edition sessions, contests and what I call “Fashion Fridays” — a compilation of outfits that I think work great for photographs.

So for my first contest — sign up to receive updates and then write a comment in the “Comments” section below this post and let me know you signed up (be sure to give me some contact information so I can notify you if you win!). On Saturday I will randomly choose a name from the list of subscribers and who ever wins, will get a free spa treatment at Serenity MedSpa in Lodi (the owner Elizabeth is FANTASTIC!). The value of the treatment is $199!

I can’t believe this little guy is already one! The last year has just flown by. This was the third photoshoot I’ve had with this little guy and he’s definitely at the stage where he’s on the move! I started photographing his big sis when she was a newborn, so it’s been so fun to see her grow up! Happy birthday T!

This session was so fun! This senior is graduating in just a few weeks and was so relaxed and photogenic — she made my job easy! Best of luck with everything in the future!!
