Why Choose LillyBugs?
Choosing a photographer isn’t just about beautiful photos.
It’s about how you feel during the experience, and how those images make you feel years from now.
At LillyBugs Photography, I specialize in creating relaxed, meaningful photography experiences for families throughout Lakeland, Winter Haven, Davenport, Orlando, Tampa, and surrounding Central Florida areas.
Here’s what makes me different...
1. A Calm, Guided Experience
You don’t need to know what to do with your hands.
You don’t need perfectly behaved children.
I'll gently guide every session with natural prompts and movement-based direction so your photos feel effortless and authentic never stiff or forced.
Parents relax.Kids play.Connection happens naturally.That’s where the magic lives.
2. Designed for Families (and those chaotic moments)
As a homeschooling mama of three, I understand real life.
Little ones get shy.Toddlers wander.Babies need breaks.
Your session is never rushed.
I build in space for natural moments, genuine laughter, and real connection.
You won’t leave feeling stressed- you’ll leave feeling proud.
3. A Signature Light & Airy Style that feels timeless
My editing style is soft, warm, and true-to-life colors designed to feel beautiful today and timeless 20 years from now.No heavy filters.No trendy tones that go out of style.
Just creamy light, joyful color, and authentic emotion.

"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."
