I now know that beauty comes in all sizes.  No matter what people do or say, I know I am beautiful.  My confidence has skyrocketed!  The reality was mindblowing!  I never felt so beautiful and free.  I was honestly expecting to shut down and not even be able to do the session.  You are absolutely amazing at what you do, and will make the experience unforgettable.

I have used Sierra Elegance Photography for pageant headshots and Sue always delivers the most beautiful photos. She is patient, listens to your ideal photoshoot, and always seems to find out your best side (we all have one). I would highly recommend using Sierra Elegance Photography for family photos to professional headshots.

I had the wonderful opportunity to have Sue complete a photoshoot for the branding of my business. It was my best photo experience. Sue has the unique ability to capture my authentic personality. She had excellent recommendations for poses. Her unique use of natural and professional lighting enhances the more natural look of a photo. I will continue using Sue for all my photographic needs. I can't wait to have her take photos for personal use. For personal or professional use, Sue is the best.

Sue has an eye that captures the moment! She did an amazing job on my son's portraits and was also able to capture the love he has for his sport! I highly recommend her to document your memories!

- Todd W.

She is an absolutely amazing photographer and has captured special moments for us for nearly 15 years. Baby photos, family photos, graduation photos and headshots! She has a unique talent and can capture true beautiful moments and personality. She's the best!
