A Few Things You May Be Wondering
Lisa Shreffler Photography is a private, full-service boudoir photography studio located at 108 E. Livingston St. in historic downtown Monticello, Illinois.
Women travel to the studio from Champaign-Urbana, Bloomington-Normal, Decatur, Mahomet, and surrounding Central Illinois communities.
The studio is a cozy, feminine space designed to feel like a little escape from everyday life, with private photography sets, a client closet, and a comfortable dressing area.
It's the level of care. You're not simply arriving for photographs and leaving with an online gallery.
Lisa personally guides your experience from your first consultation through wardrobe planning, professional hair and makeup, posing, your same-day image reveal, and the creation of your finished artwork.
You'll have time to relax, laugh, and enjoy a day that's entirely about you. Lisa's goal is for you to feel genuinely seen, heard, and cared for.
Your $495 booking fee includes personalized session preparation, wardrobe guidance, professional hair and makeup, and a fully guided boudoir photography session with Lisa.
You'll receive a preparation guide, access to Lisa's client closet, and the option of a complimentary fitting appointment.
On session day, enjoy a private studio, a cozy robe, light refreshments, and a same-day image reveal.

You can even schedule a complimentary fitting appointment before your session to explore available pieces and find what feels right for you.
Whether you bring your own favorites or borrow from the studio, Lisa will help you prepare looks that reflect your personality.
Absolutely. As Lisa likes to say, "You're not supposed to know what you're doing. That's my job!"
She demonstrates poses and guides you through your hands, posture, expressions, and movements. No modeling experience is necessary.
You're in good company. Many women arrive feeling nervous about how they'll look or whether they'll know what to do.
You don't need to lose weight, change your body, or become some future version of yourself before you're allowed to be photographed.
Lisa takes care of the lighting, angles, posing, and direction. Your job is simply to show up and give yourself permission to enjoy the day.
No, you do not have to allow Lisa to share your photographs publicly.
For regular boudoir sessions, choosing to keep your images private does not change your experience or the care you receive.
Lisa discusses image-sharing preferences during consultations so you can feel comfortable with how your photographs will be handled.
Reduced-fee muse or model-call sessions may have separate image-sharing requirements, which will be explained before booking.
Your day begins in Lisa's private Monticello studio, where you'll settle in and enjoy professional hair and makeup.
You'll have access to a cozy robe, light food and drinks, wardrobe assistance, and a welcoming environment without the rush of a busy commercial studio.
During your photoshoot, Lisa demonstrates poses and guides you through every movement. Expect plenty of encouragement, conversation, and probably a few laughs along the way.
After shooting, you'll have a break while Lisa prepares your images for the same-day reveal.
Yes! One of the most memorable parts of Lisa's experience is your same-day portrait reveal.
After your photoshoot, Lisa prepares your images while you enjoy a break. You can grab lunch in downtown Monticello, explore the area, or relax before returning to the studio.
Then you'll see your portraits, select your favorites, and work with Lisa to create your album and artwork.
For Lisa, watching women see themselves in a new light is one of the best parts of being a boudoir photographer.
Yes. Lisa offers digital images, heirloom albums, custom wall art, and additional specialty products, including prints, acrylic blocks, and Retro Viewfinders.
During your image reveal, she'll help you select your favorite portraits and explore the collections and products available.
Lisa personally handles album design and proofing, monitors production, and inspects and packages finished artwork before studio pickup.
Digital image delivery is typically within two weeks, according to Lisa's stated process. Artwork production and delivery timelines vary.
Of course! Lisa welcomes women celebrating bridal milestones, marriage, anniversaries, birthdays, maternity, motherhood, and meaningful new chapters.
You don't need a special occasion, though. Sometimes wanting to do something just for yourself is reason enough.
During your consultation, Lisa can help plan an experience that reflects what you're celebrating.
Once you've booked, Lisa will provide a preparation guide and help you plan your outfits.
You'll also have access to her client closet and the option of a complimentary fitting.
About a month before your session, Lisa sends a detailed questionnaire to understand your preferences, what you'd like to highlight, and anything else you'd like her to know.
You won't be left guessing about what to bring or what happens next.
Your first step is simply a conversation.
Lisa will follow up to learn what brought you to her, what you're hoping for, and anything you might be nervous about.
You'll have an opportunity to discuss the experience, privacy, investment options, and available dates before deciding whether to book.
No pressure to have everything figured out. Lisa will help you through the process.
