More Than a Boudoir Photoshoot — A Vegas Experience Designed for Couples
Las Vegas is a place people come to step outside their everyday roles — to feel bold, connected, and alive.
This experience was designed with that exact intention in mind.
Red Umbrella Boudoir offers couples a private, guided adventure that blends intimacy, artistry, and emotional safety — creating not just images, but a shared moment of connection you’ll carry long after you leave the city.
A fully private, luxury studio experience
Guided intimacy — no modeling experience required
A trauma-aware, consent-forward approach
A same-day image reveal to anchor the experience in the moment
Artwork designed to last long after your Vegas stay
❤️ Love Notes ❤️
Before the experience, many couples feel nervous. Here’s what they share afterward.
What Happens During the Experience
Every couple arrives with a mix of excitement and nerves — that’s completely natural.
The experience is designed to unfold slowly and intentionally, with guidance and care at every stage, so you can stay present, connected, and fully supported throughout.
Before You Arrive
The experience begins well before you step into the studio. During your private consultation all your questions will be answered. I will get to know you a little bit better and will follow up with a questionnaire. This will serve to help me curate the perfect experience for you, but will also invite you to sit down and really think about what you would want out of this adventure. You’ll receive a thoughtful preparation guide as well, designed to help you feel confident, inspired, and excited. It offers guidance on selecting outfits, setting intentions, and beginning to imagine what this experience could be for you — together.
Nothing here is about rules or expectations. It’s about curiosity, anticipation, and arriving already connected to the process.
Arrival & Grounding
You’re welcomed into a private studio space where we take time to slow down and arrive fully. Professional hair and makeup are part of the experience, allowing you to be cared for as you settle in.
We begin with mimosas and light nourishment — a moment to breathe, connect, and shift out of the outside world. This is where we start nourishing not just the body, but the soul as well.
We’ll review your outfits together, talk through what feels right, and decide how the experience will unfold. No two sessions are ever the same — everything is shaped around the people in front of the camera.
Guided Intimacy
Rather than posing or performing, you’re gently guided through movements and interactions that feel natural and authentic to you. This is a collaborative process — we work together, moment by moment, creating something that reflects your connection, your energy, and your story.
Everything unfolds at your pace, with clear communication, consent, and emotional safety held throughout.
Artful Creation
As the experience deepens, images are created quietly and intuitively — focused on connection, presence, and emotional truth rather than perfection or repetition. This is not a cookie-cutter session; it’s a curated experience designed uniquely for you.
Same-Day Reveal
After the session, you’ll step away for a couple of hours — time to debrief, reconnect, and let the experience settle. During this pause, I carefully work through the images, selecting a curated collection of approximately 100 photographs that best reflect what unfolded between you.
I’ll also hand-edit one or two images so you can see and feel what the final artwork will look like.
When you return for the reveal, the experience comes full circle. This is where the most intentional work of the day happens — choosing the images that resonate most deeply with you. It’s a meaningful, sometimes challenging, and ultimately empowering process, and you’ll be fully supported as you select the artwork that will become your lasting reminder of this experience.
A Lasting Reminder
Your artwork becomes more than a memory of Las Vegas — it’s a tangible reminder of how you felt together in this moment: connected, alive, and deeply present.
About Susan
I believe that intimacy deserves to be held with care.
I’m Susan — a couples boudoir photographer, qualified social worker, Somatica-trained intimacy coach, and American Board of Sexology–certified sexologist. My work lives at the intersection of artistry, emotional presence, and human connection.
I don’t approach boudoir as a performance or a formula. Every session is a collaborative, relational experience shaped by the people in front of my camera — their dynamic, their energy, and what feels true for them in that moment.
My background in social work and intimacy coaching allows me to stay deeply attuned to the emotional landscape of each couple. Whether you arrive feeling excited, nervous, uncertain, or all of the above, I know how to slow things down, read what’s unfolding, and create an environment where you can relax into the experience rather than push through it.
Couples often tell me they feel seen, steady, and deeply connected — not just to each other, but to themselves — by the end of the experience.
This isn’t about recreating someone else’s story. It’s about creating something honest, meaningful, and entirely your own.

“I am here to tell you that if you’ve never given yourself the gift of a boudoir photography session before, you definitely should! Like many, I look in the mirror and am rarely happy with what I see. Susan made it easy, and I cried TEARS OF HAPPINESS when I saw the results of her labor. During the shoot she knew exactly what to do to help my pictures come out the best they could be — where and how to pose, what to wear, etc., and she is naturally just SO friendly and kind that after a few nervous minutes my “intimidation factor” had disappeared. I can’t wait until Susan and I cross paths again so I can try a whole new theme with my next batch of pictures!!! Working with Susan will really give you a whole new perspective about your body - I am very grateful to her for letting me have this fabulous experience.”

“We came to Vegas for adventure… and left more in love than ever. 💕 Susan made us feel safe, sexy, and totally ourselves — this was the highlight of our trip!”
Mrs. A
“Susan is so much more than what we expected from a photographer! Full service hair and makeup, tasty bagels and drinks, the complete boudoir experience and a seamless reveal session; she provides the complete package for her clients. Outstanding communication and thorough planning made us feel completely prepared for our day. Within moments of meeting her we felt like longtime friends. Susan’s attention to detail and creative style is something to take note off. Any expectation we had was completely exceeded by the end of our day!
The reveal process was just as exciting. Seeing the final product was breathtaking and an enjoyable experience. I can not express in words how much YOU need this experience in your life. Thank you, Susan, you are the best.”
Mrs. G
"Susan is so talented. During the session she makes you feel so comfortable and builds up your confidence ( especially since I am so shy) . The photos turn out stunning. I never thought I could LOOK SO SEXY.
Thank you Susan for a fantastic experience. My husband is now your number one fan."

“We booked on a whim during our Vegas trip — and it became the best part of our vacation. Susan made us feel relaxed, confident, and more connected than ever.”
Miss C
"Shooting with Susan was truly a joy. I am not one to willingly put myself in front of the camera but Susan put me totally at ease and made the whole experience incredibly fun. She talked me through poses and gave lots of positive feedback that made me feel confident, sexy, and badass. Susan is not only a lovely person to shoot with, but also a talented photographer. The photos from my shoot were amazing and CAPTURED EVERYTHING I LOVE ABOUT MY BODY and myself. I would recommend her to anyone looking to do a solo or partnered boudoir shoot."
K & K
“I booked it as a surprise for her — but I ended up loving it too. It was the most fun and intimate thing we did in Vegas.”
Mrs. P
“When Travis first told me he is doing this photo shoot I was both surprised and excited! I am so proud of him stepping out of his comfort zone and getting comfortable in his sexy body. As he was shopping for specific images he had in mind, I was wigggling in my seat imagining the image. When he came back from the shoot, he barely made it in the door before he pounced on me. The glow in his eyes told me all I needed to know. He felt confident. He felt sexy. I can’t wait to book a shoot for us as a couple now!”
A Few of my Favorite Photo’s…
Hi
For the longest time I struggled to believe that I was beautiful…
I am tall. Not blonde and for some reason believed for almost my entire life that I was too big to be beautiful. Too dark haired, too many freckles, too name it, to be beautiful. My husband fiercely disagreed with me, but I decided it is ok for us to disagree.
Both of us are avid photographers and one day about 20 years ago, on a cold Saturday afternoon in Colorado we were hanging out in front of the fireplace in our room. I was dressed in just a T-shirt and socks. Stefan was messing around with his camera and started taking pictures of me. At first I protested, but soon gave up and decided to play along. He knew how much I hated to be in front of the lens (with my big butt and all of those “too” things), but kept on clicking away. After a while I was actually starting to enjoy it and grabbed some hats, feathers, stockings, high heels and before we realized it we did our first boudoir shoot!
I was so surprised when I looked at the photos on my computer. I loved them!?! I giggled and blushed and could not stop looking at them. It was me! And it was beautiful. I felt so empowered! I was sexy?! Bodacious?! Seductive? Secretive! All those things my husband always told me I was. For the first time I was willing to believe him (and I usually hate it when he is right :) )
BOUDOIR is an EXPERIENCE! It is not just a photoshoot. It gives you permission to be the Vixen, the Siren, Foxy and Fierce woman that is all of us. She is just so terribly shy and sometimes hidden under years of neglect. She is however always willing to be found. To be revealed! And oh boy, when this happens, she is blindingly happy and very hard to hide again.
As a couples experience, it helps you bridge that space between wanting to be sexy and adventurous but not quite knowing how to step out of your familiar roles. This is your rebirth — a chance to rediscover each other and redefine who you are together. Sensual. Exciting. New. Bold and powerful.
As a qualified social worker and Somatica Trained Intimacy Coach, I create a safe, supportive space where you can relax, laugh, and celebrate your love.
Let me help you to be reborn. Find your inner Seductive, Ravenous, Beauty Queen. Doesn’t matter how old you are, shape or size. GIFT yourself “ME” time to go on a wonderful, luxurious exploration into your sexy side. You will walk away from this experience with CONFIDENCE & a CHEEKY little SMILE every time you think about this unexpected beautiful version of yourself.
Be warned that afterwards you will be tempted by lingerie to start planning your next session….
Sincerely
Susan
