Families
LillyBugs Photography offers family photography sessions throughout Central Florida, capturing genuine connection, natural interaction, and the moments that make your family uniquely yours. With over 14 years of experience, Celena creates a relaxed, thoughtfully guided experience that allows families to feel comfortable and present, resulting in images that feel authentic, joyful, and timeless.
Family sessions are designed around movement, laughter, and real connection rather than stiff posing. From playful moments with young children to meaningful interactions between parents and growing families, each session is customized with location guidance, wardrobe support, and gentle posing direction to ensure a stress-free experience from start to finish.
Family sessions are ideal for immediate families, extended families, and those wanting updated portraits while visiting Florida on Vacation.
Q:What should we wear?
A: You’ll receive simple styling guidance to help coordinate colors and textures that photograph beautifully. I recommend soft, neutral tones and comfortable outfits that allow you to move and interact naturally. I’m always happy to review outfit options and offer personalized suggestions.
Q:What locations do you recommend?
A: I help every family choose a location that fits their style and vision. Sessions can take place outdoors in natural settings, at the beach, or in a location that feels meaningful to your family. I’ll guide you on the best options based on lighting, season, and the overall look you’re hoping for.
Q:Do you photograph extended families?
A: Absolutely! Extended family sessions are welcomed and thoughtfully planned to ensure everyone is included while keeping the experience relaxed. Prior to your session, we’ll discuss groupings, dynamics, and any special requests so the session flows smoothly and everyone feels comfortable.
Q:How long is a family session?
A: Family sessions typically last 45 minutes-1.5 hours. (Long enough to allow everyone to settle in comfortably without feeling rushed.) This relaxed pace helps create an stress-free experience and allows time for natural interactions, movement, and genuine moments to unfold.

I love, love, LOVE LillyBugs Photography! Celena has taken so many photos of my family over the years and they always turn out fantastic! She’s great at capturing shots of antsy kids and bringing out their spirit in the photos. She’s done maternity photos, newborn photos, milestone photos, family photos, and even porch photos for us during Covid and I can’t recommend her enough. She’s great with natural lighting and in the studio. I’m forever impressed at what she is able to capture given the moods and attention spans of her subjects. I’m always excited to see the results of our sessions and so thankful to have such beautiful memories preserved for the future.
Celena has been more than fantastic to work with. During the day, she was very friendly and worked great with the entire family. Prior she helped with location setting (we are from elsewhere) and on day of she helped with photo selection and which ones looked good. I would 100% recommend her with full confidence
