Boudoir Photographer in Fargo with Samantha Turner Photography

THE FEMALE
FORM IS A
GLORIOUS
MASTERPIECE.

I have been doing boudoir photography for over 10 years. Boudoir is so precious to me because I love helping women feel better about themselves, inside and out. We all struggle with self-image, and I want to help women overcome as much of that as possible. I love the WOW factor. I love delivering images to women and having them say, "I can't believe that's me! I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life!" It means so much to me to offer that to women and that women of all ages trust me to provide them with this experience. You don't need to lose 15 pounds for a session with me. You don't need to be Beyonce curvy. You just need to be you. Have fun! And enjoy this moment. You won't regret it!!

This business of mine has BLOSSOMED over the years. I went from shooting in hotels or my client's homes to our incredible commercial studio in Fargo, ND. I handled ALL aspects of my business from top to bottom for the longest time, but in 2022, I realized I needed helping hands to reach as many women as possible! Now, we are a team of 4 women here at STP! We have a photographer, studio manager, and a viewing specialist! Our entire staff is made up of female entrepreneurs, and I am so blessed not only to work my business full-time but also to provide jobs to other women.

Thank you for being here and for supporting our fantastic business! We can't wait to meet you and create some of the most gorgeous photographs of yourself that you will ever have.

XOXO,
Sam

HOW DO I
KNOW IF I
SHOULD
DO THIS?!

  • ❶ You're learning to love your body. whether you've gained or lost weight, are transitioning, celebrating your pregnancy, or adjusting during cancer. Regardless of the stage you're in - we are excited to help you take a big step towards self-love. "Make it happen, girl. SHOCK EVERYONE. And even yourself."

    ❷ You know you are worth investing in & deserve to be pampered. "Price is what you pay. Value is what you get." - Warren Buffett

    ❸ You are FUCKIN’ JACKED about the life-changing empowerment experience you will have!

    ❹ You want guidance every step of the way, from the moment you inquire to when you receive your luxurious products.

    ❺ It’s an immediate FUCK YEAH! Just sayin’. 😂

  • ❶ You’re too scared/nervous to step out of your comfort zone– then now is not the time. Boudoir photography comes with many feelings and ultimately we want to help you feel empowered, but staying in your comfort zone will prevent that. “Be willing to get out of your comfort zone, if you want to grow.”

    ❷ You want "just a few" photos.
    We invest an entire day into your experience - from hair and make up to our in person viewings you can expect to spend 6+ hours with us. It wouldn't be fair for either of us if you only want a few photos. Expect to fall in love with 40+ images and our fully customizable products that you will cherish for a lifetime.

    ❸ You are looking for a cheap boudoir session.
    Cheap nudes - PLEASE NO! This is not the time to price shop. Find a photographer that empowers you and you're comfortable with so you can get the most out of your experience. Ultimately boudoir photography is meant to change you, empower you, and shower you in self-love. And it’s okay if that’s not us!

Ok, I AM THAT BISH!
