THE
Team
We are equal amounts 'serious about what we do' and 'not taking ourselves too seriously' haha

This is us.
We are Sabrina and Jake Turner
We totally didn’t set out to start a boudoir studio at all.
Honestly, it wasn’t even on our radar.
We were wedding photographers when a bride asked if we’d consider doing a boudoir shoot of her. We kind of knew what boudoir was, and so we Googled it… and immediately thought, 'nope.' haha. It's just, what we saw didn’t feel like us at all. It felt awkward, over-posed, and kind of tacky and uncomfortable.
But when I told her "I don't think it's for us" she saw something in us that we never could. She said "You guys are perfect for it, you would make women feel so safe and your photography is exactly what women would want. There is nobody like you doing boudoir, seriously."
So we gave it a go.
We put out a model call, cleared space in our home studio, and nervously photographed our first boudoir session. When she saw her images, she cried. Not out of embarrassment. Not because she felt exposed. But because she finally saw herself the way others see her.
That moment changed everything for us.
It became clear that this wasn’t just about photos. It was about giving women a space to slow down, feel safe, and reconnect with themselves. To see their body without judgement. To let go of the constant pressure to look different, better, smaller, younger.
We don’t believe women need fixing. We believe they’re already worthy of feeling beautiful, exactly as they are.
Over the years, we’ve poured a lot into Apricot Aura, into education, experience, and creating a studio that feels warm, private, and calm. But the most important part has always been emotional. Showing up with care. Listening. Making sure every woman who walks through our doors feels respected and supported.
Apricot Aura is a place where you don’t have to perform, impress, or be anything other than yourself.
We’re just here to help you see what’s already there.
We're a husband and wife team who specialise in boudoir photography.
We work with women of all ages, shapes and sizes to reprogram your inner dialogue, to give you real perspective and to allow you to see yourself the way we see you. Creating something beautiful you can cherish and be proud of forever.

We’ve been working together as photographers for nearly seven years, and one thing has stayed consistent the whole time.
Women are much harder on themselves than they deserve to be.
So many of the women we meet feel nervous walking in, unsure of how they’ll look or whether they’ll feel confident enough. And almost every time, they leave saying they’re glad they did this for themselves.
Boudoir at Apricot Aura isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about giving yourself the chance to see what’s already there, in a space that feels safe, respectful, and unhurried.
That’s what we care about most.
