Hey Queen!
I'm Samantha Turner, your favorite hype-human!
Boudoir that empowers. Family photography that remembers. Branding that shows you off. Confidence, always.
I help people of all shapes, sizes, and seasons find their confidence and celebrate themselves—whether that’s through a luxurious, body-empowering boudoir experience, the messy + magical chaos of family life, or brand photography that helps you show up like the boss you are.
And so is your family’s story.
For over a decade, I’ve photographed everything from confidence-igniting boudoir to connection-driven family sessions. What keeps me coming back every single time is the same thing: helping people see their own beauty and worth—whether it’s a woman stepping into her power, or a family realizing the messy, magical chaos is actually the good stuff.
I live for the WOW factor. When a client gasps, “I can’t believe that’s me!” or a parent says, “You captured us exactly as we are”—that’s the magic.
You don’t need to be anything other than YOU.
You don’t need to lose weight. You don’t need a Pinterest-perfect family. You just need to say yes.
Yes, I will celebrate myself.
Yes, I will let my children just be.
Show up, have fun, and let me document the real, imperfect, beautiful moments you’ll treasure forever.
Your story deserves to be remembered—let’s capture it together.

Boss BUSINESS shit
How This All Started
I started this business because I know what it feels like to be overlooked, underestimated, and stuck in a cycle of trying to blend in—when all I really wanted was to be seen and celebrated.
As a woman who’s navigated self-image struggles, shaky confidence, motherhood, and all the messy, beautiful layers in between, I realized there were too many people—especially women and moms—who never get to see their own magic reflected back at them. Too many who believe they have to look a certain way, act a certain way, be a certain way—when the truth is, it’s always been within them.
But this was never my life’s plan. I was always the girl with a camera in her hand—documenting every messy, beautiful moment long before iPhones existed—but I never imagined photography could be anything more than a hobby. (Honestly? It still feels way too much fun to be called a job.)
That all changed one year on my birthday, when a childhood friend handed me a camera and said, “do something with this.” So I did. What started as photographing close friends and co-workers became something bigger: documenting families I had never met, empowering women, and telling stories people didn’t know they needed to see—or feel.
Boudoir
Early in my career, a client spent the first half of her session apologizing—for her body, for not knowing how to pose, for simply existing in front of my camera. Through our conversations, we began rewriting that narrative (boudoir comes with a side of therapy). Then, when she saw her images for the very first time—she cried. Not out of hate, but because for the first time, she saw herself as beautiful and powerful. That moment lit a fire in me: boudoir isn’t just about photographs. It’s about rewriting the way women see themselves—and that changes everything. Think of all the things you would do if you felt confident enough to do them.
Families
I learned this truth young—I lost my mother to suicide when I was just six years old. Minimal photos remain, and those missing memories fuel my belief that every parent belongs in front of the camera. Over the years, I saw the same pattern again and again: parents—especially moms—waiting to “look better” or “feel ready.” But their kids? They already see mom as their favorite person, their home. They’re not waiting for perfect. They just want you.
For the Women who are DONE SHRINKING & READY to TAKE UP SPACE.
Boudoir isn’t about the posing, the outfits, or the glam.
Boudoir is proof. Proof that you are beautiful as you are. Proof that you’re worthy, enough, not “too much.” It’s the moment you stop apologizing for taking up space and start owning it. The moment you finally see yourself with new eyes—unfiltered by society’s bullshit standards.
This isn’t just about photos. It’s about emotions, stories, and rewriting the way you see yourself. With my experience, passion, and hype, we’ll create images that become undeniable proof of your power.
We live in a world obsessed with filters, sizes, and timelines. I’m here to show you the truth: you are already beautiful. Right now. Not ten pounds from now. Not five years ago. Not “once life slows down.” Today.
What makes boudoir different with me:
A full body-empowerment experience → designed to celebrate you exactly as you are in this season of life.
Size-inclusive client closet → 600+ lingerie pieces, robes, boxers, shoes, earrings, necklaces, crowns, and more—all curated to fit and flatter every body.
Professional hair & makeup + expert posing guidance → no experience needed, just show up and we’ll take care of the rest.
A hype-filled, consent-first environment → Every step is consent-first: I check in before adjustments, honor your boundaries, and hype you the whole damn way.
Luxury custom-designed products → albums, wall art, and keepsakes that remind you of your power every damn day.
For the Mamas & Families READY to be IN THE FRAME
You deserve to be in the photos your kids will cherish—not stuck behind the camera.
As a mom, I see it all the time: we’re the ones documenting everyone else, but rarely ourselves. One day, these will be the photos your kids look back on—the proof of the love, chaos, and joy that made them who they are.
What makes my family sessions different:
Size-inclusive client closet: full wardrobe for adults, kiddos, and even bandanas for fur-babies. Stress about outfits? Gone.
Actually-fun session: kids get to be kids, pets can crash the party, and chaos is half the magic.
Posing that doesn’t feel like posing: a mix of candid laughs and “grandma-approved” shots.
10+ years of experience: wrangling toddlers, teens, camera-shy parents (the real hard ones), and every kind of family. Two moms? Two dads? Blended chaos? Bring it—I capture it all.
Simple, all-inclusive collections: every session comes with digital images. You choose how many you want. No confusing packages — just memories ready for your walls.
My business has GROWN with me
What started in hotel rooms, Airbnbs, and even my garage has grown into an incredible commercial studio in Fargo, ND—designed for both boudoir and family sessions.
Inside, you’ll find curated client closets with wardrobe options for every body, every season, every vibe—so you can stop stressing about what to wear and simply show up as yourself.
But this studio is more than four walls. It’s a space built for confidence, connection, and creating images you’ll love for a lifetime.
How it started vs. how it’s going
Samantha loves…
Math! — weird flex, I know. Don’t worry, I won’t make you solve equations during your session.
Traveling — give me hiking trails, snacks, and a good playlist and I’m set.
Cooking — if you leave hungry, that’s 100% on you.
Dancing — signature move? The sprinkler. Zero regrets.
Wrangling my children (human + fur) into photos — yes, I bribe them all with treats too.
Being a proud boy-mom — raising kind, silly, good-humored humans is my jam.
Dogs — my big “scary” pittie is actually a certified mushball.
...and not so much:
Reading aloud — I’ll do it, but we’ll all regret it.
Cleaning — hard pass. Nope. Never happening.
Insects & reptiles — please, for the love of boudoir, don’t bring your pet snake to a session. I will scream and leave.
Celebrate yourself!
Whether you’re stepping into family photos, rediscovering yourself through boudoir, or leveling up your brand with fresh imagery, I’m here for it.
