Boudoir Photography Where Luxury Meets Intimacy.

More Than a Boudoir Photoshoot — A Vegas Experience Designed for Connection
Las Vegas is a place people come to step outside their everyday roles — to feel bold, connected, and alive.
This experience was designed for that exact shift — from routine into connection.
Red Umbrella Boudoir specializes in guided, intimate sessions for couples seeking something deeper than a typical Vegas memory — a private, emotionally safe experience where luxury meets intimacy.
This is boudoir photography as it was always meant to be felt.
And while couples are at the heart of what I create here, this space is equally open to individuals ready to reconnect with themselves.
Red Umbrella Boudoir is a studio where every body, every story, and every identity is welcomed and honored.
This studio is proudly LGBTQ+ friendly. Here, you will be seen, respected, and celebrated — exactly as you are.
A fully private luxury studio experience
Guided intimacy — no modeling experience required

Love Notes
Before the experience, many couples feel nervous. Here’s what they share afterward.
“The care, pacing, and consent made all the difference. We felt seen, not pushed. It was really, really difficult to choose our favorite photos at the end. We loved every one of them.”
-M&L
“We arrived excited and nervous — and within minutes, we felt completely safe. Everything was guided, respectful, and deeply intentional.”
-W&Y
“This wasn’t really about the photos. It was about reconnecting in a way we hadn’t experienced before.”
-S&S
“Long after the session ended, we were still talking about how connected we felt. The photos are absolutely gorgeous as well:) ”
-E&R
“It was one of the most meaningful experiences we’ve shared as a couple. Ever!”
-J&G
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. You are never left wondering what to do — you are gently led. 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
This is where your story comes to life through the lens. We might begin with something soft and romantic, move into bold, dramatic imagery, or explore something more sensual and adventurous. There's no predetermined style or formula. We create together, following your energy, curiosity, and whatever inspires us in the moment.
Every photograph is an expression of you — your connection, your desire, and the freedom to explore it in your own way.
The Reveal - Let It Linger
The experience doesn't end when the camera is put away. You'll have time to savor what unfolded, revisit your favorite moments, and enjoy the anticipation of seeing what we created together.
Your photographs will be thoughtfully curated and prepared for a separate, private reveal, ideally around a week after your experience. Whether we reconnect in person or virtually, we'll arrange a time and format that works for you.
When you see your photographs for the first time, we'll explore the images you love and the artwork you'd like to create from them.
A second moment to celebrate. Another opportunity to see yourselves in a new light.
A Lasting Reminder
Your photographs become more than memories of Las Vegas — they're a lasting reminder of how you felt together in that 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.
Boudoir, to me, is not a performance or a formula. It feels more grounded. More personal. 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.

You want to recreate someone else’s poses or Pinterest boards
You’re uncomfortable with communication, consent, or collaboration

A Glimpse Into the Experience
Every session is unique.
These images offer a quiet glimpse into the kind of connection we create together.
Each experience is curated. No two sessions are ever the same.
If Something Here Is Stirring
You may have arrived here curious.
Or tentative.
Or simply open to seeing what this might be.
Perhaps something on this page feels familiar —
a longing for connection, presence, or a way back to each other that doesn’t require performing or pretending.
This experience isn’t about becoming someone else.
It’s about meeting each other exactly where you are —
with care, intention, and space to breathe.
There’s no expectation to know what you want yet.
Curiosity — and a willingness to explore — is enough.
What Happens Next
If you’d like to explore whether this experience is right for you,
the next step is a private consultation.
This is a conversation — not a commitment.
We’ll talk about what drew you here, what you’re hoping for,
and what would feel supportive for you as a couple.
From there, you can decide — slowly and thoughtfully —
whether this feels aligned.
