Unveil the Goddess Within in Our Luxury Boudoir Sanctuary
Why have a Boudoir Session?
Gretna’s premier luxury boudoir experience is about so much more than photographs—it’s an investment in how you see yourself. Research shows that experiences centered around self-expression and self-acceptance can meaningfully elevate confidence and self-worth. In fact, studies in Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts have found that women who participate in empowering portrait experiences, like professional boudoir photography, often walk away feeling more confident, powerful, and truly seen.
At our luxury boudoir studio in Gretna, Nebraska, we curate an elevated, boutique experience designed to celebrate your beauty and femininity. From couture styling to fine-art imagery, every detail is crafted to help you step into your most confident self.

“I may have only just completed my shoot yesterday but for the first time in 37yrs I saw myself the way everyone else sees me. It was so much fun & you really don’t care what you are or aren’t wearing once it starts. You literally only care about getting the pose right!!! I’ve never been made to feel more comfortable, confident and sexy in just 1 afternoon. Thank you girls so much for not only doing a FABULOUS job on my makeup but helping me start to really love myself! You got me to cry on the raw unedited photos I can only imagine how I’ll react once they are finished. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!”
“Oh my goodness! It was an AMAZING experience. Something like I never imagined. I felt so comfortable the moment I walked in the door, both megan and the gal, who transformed me into beautiful w makeup and styling my hair. I had never felt more beautiful and sexy in my whole life than I did when I saw the final pictures. Megan helped me finalize the 10 Pic and album and didn’t make me feel bad for not being able to afford all of them, nor did she pressure me into feeling obligated to buy any. I have recommended megan to my friends and hope to buy a few sessions for someone someday so they to can feel beautiful and see the beauty that others see in her. Thank you Megan for this wonderful experience, I think in a way, it changed how I look at myself.”
“I recently booked my very first boudoir shoot with Megan Michael Photography, and I’m so happy I did. If you have ever thought about or been curious about a boudoir shoot, but too shy or nervous, Megan’s studio will put all of your concerns completely to rest. The whole process from booking to the shoot to the final product is mindlessly easy, and SO MUCH FUN. She makes you feel like an Angel hitting the runway.
