It truly is my passion to help you overcome your insecurities, body dysmorphia, lack of confidence, even shyness, to appreciate your true beauty and the best qualities you possess.
I want you to have a day of glamour, and something you will never forget as you thumb through your album with a smile, or look at your gorgeous art on the wall that showcases YOU!

Hi! I'm Sue
love nothing more than giving you the luxury experience you deserve! I have been where you are, whether it's the tired out mom who does everything for everyone and leaves nothing in the tank, the empty-nester who forgot how to pamper herself, the body-insecure female of almost any age (can we just start accepting the body we're in?).
I

4. I'm a total homebody
5. I still adore my husband after three decades together!
The studio
I have been blessed to have this amazing little studio since 2020. It was a bit of a leap during an uncertain time, but I dove in headfirst, and no regrets! I have many sets in a small area and always creating new concepts. My clients feel very peaceful in this corner of the world during their day of luxury and pampering!
Located in vibrant Midtown Reno in a vintage building, you will enjoy the cozy boutique style of my studio!
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!
You Deserve the best
I spend much of my time every year taking classes to better my skills and fine tune my photography and posing to give you the very best boudoir session you deserve.
