Hey, my name is Samantha Cortes,

Hey darling, I'm Sam. A neurodivergent millennial mother of 3, former alt-model, and a portrait and boudoir photographer based in Norfolk and Suffolk, capturing the living art that is women.

I created Untamed Muses because I see the need to reclaim the narrative. We live in a world that treats us like consumables, constantly forcing us into boxes, policing the way we look, the way we act, our pleasure, or demanding we devote ourselves to catering to and pleasing everyone else. The system is rigged, I see it, and I’m completely over it—and you should be too.

With me, you are completely safe. Safe to be exactly who you are, no masks, no performance. Safe to take space and to use your voice.

Having watched my own body change through motherhood and life, I know exactly what it feels like on both sides of the lens. I capture your essence with intention, passion and intuition and do so Unapologetically.

I’m here to be your hype-woman, to hold your hand while you burn the script and feel fully seen.

Together, we will create images that help you move from 'hidden' to 'Untamed.'
