for All women
To Celebrate Yourself
and Your body
I have spent my whole adult life working as a professional photographer, and there is still nothing I'd rather do. My name is Sue Halliburton, I am a wife, mother of three adult children, and three grandchildren (and one on the way!).
Portraits are a legacy, and as I get older I realize that on so much of a deeper level. We are preserving moments in time that will be our history. And every woman deserves to have beautiful portraits of herself! I do wish I had been in more photographs with my children, and I don't have a lot of portraits of myself. I do value the ones I have though, especially when I took the time to work with another photographer to capture who I was at that time.
erving ladies with my whole heart, that is what I LOVE to do! Every woman I welcome into my studio is a new friend. I can't wait to give you that experience!

Leave feeling like the sexy bad-ass you are
I know, you don't feel like you're photogenic. You're nervous about taking this step because you think you won't look good, or you won't know what to do. You feel awkward in front of a camera. Your body isn't the same as it was before kids, before weight gain, before menopause, before whatever....
But guess what? I've worked with hundreds of women just like you, and brought out their inner beauty as well as the outer, and every single woman leaves feeling absolutely incredible! And then you recapture that feeling every time you open your album or look at your art on the wall!
The whole experience was just amazing. Sue made me feel so comfortable and confident in my skin. The photos turned out way better than I can even image.
I couldn't believe it was me!! It was better than expected. The timing with hair, makeup, and final images was amazing. It was great to see the photos the same day. I was truly shocked how thrilled I was!
I never planned to have maternity portraits done,
I'm sooo glad I did! I'll have these forever!
Sue was so professional and final images were completed promptly!
It was beyond what I expected. The makeup and hair alone blew me away. I thought it would be just getting dolled up a little. I have never felt more beautiful. Then when it came to the shoot, I have never modeled nor had my photo taken professionally and I was so grateful for her patience and direction. She was so easy to work with. I was on top of the world in the photos, and the look on my husband's face when he saw them has helped me believe I am beautiful and look good in my skin. I was a little wary about being barely dressed in front of a stranger, but she put my mind at ease to get comfortable before moving on to a different outfit or NO outfit! Sue wasn't just someone with a camera! I felt like we weren't strangers at all.
I have had two photoshoots with Sue, her work is gorgeous and
brings out the beauty in everyone.
Sue is warm, welcoming, and has such an artistic eye!
I feel so much more positive and confident! The images are stunning, and something I will truly cherish. As the victim of a violent sexual assault, and then emotional abuse from my ex-husband, Sue took the time to listen to my story and truly was sensitive to my needs and experiences. I feel so amazing now when I look at my photos!
My experience with Sierra Elegance Photography was absolutely fantastic! I've struggled with body positivity for a long, long time. I wanted to take some beautiful, sexy photos for my significant other (and for future me), but I was so nervous to actually do it. On the day of my photo session, I had a fantastic makeup/hair artist! We had nice, lighthearted conversation and I came out of it feeling gorgeous! Once we started taking photos, Sue made me feel so comfortable. She gave me really great direction for poses and hyped me up the entire session. Afterwards, the photos she took were absolutely beautiful, and she was very open and honest as we reviewed everything. I had such a great time! They're mostly for my boyfriend's eyes, but these photos are now a reminder that I am beautiful, strong, sexy! Thank you, Sue!
I was so nervous about doing this before my wedding as a gift to my new husband, but I'm so glad I did!
I felt amazing and had such a confidence boost before my big day and walking down the aisle. My husband was absolutely stunned and blown away with joy, and the gift was just as much for me!
No two bodies are the same and my goal is to show you how perfect you are, today!!!
