Your family. Your story. Beautifully preserved.
With more than 14 years of experience, I bring thoughtful planning, patient direction and warm, true-to-life editing to every session. You’ll choose your favorite photographs, so the memories you keep are the ones that mean the most to you.
As a mama of three, I know the sweetest moments rarely happen on command. I’ll gently guide your family while making room for little feet to wander, shy smiles to warm up and real laughter to unfold.
The heart behind LillyBugs Photography.
I’m the photographer behind LillyBugs Photography, a mama of three and a firm believer that the ordinary moments often become our most treasured memories.I know how much a photograph can hold, from the people we love to the little details we wish we could keep forever.
My photography journey began in Colorado and brought me to Lake Alfred, Florida.
Today, I photograph families throughout Lakeland and Central Florida, and I’d love to get to know yours!
Every chapter, beautifully remembered.

Kind words from the families I photograph.
If you're looking for a great photographer in Florida, I highly recommend Celena! She has done several of our family photos and she never disappoints!! I absolutely love her work!
Celena is absolutely amazing. She really captured some beautiful moments for myself and my family. We truly cannot thank her enough!
A few things you might be wondering...
Where do sessions take place?
I’m based in Lake Alfred and photograph families throughout Lakeland, Winter Haven, and Central Florida. I also travel to both coasts for beach sessions. Whether you love a park, an open field, or the beach, I’ll help you choose a location that feels right for your family.
What if my children don’t sit still?
They don’t need to! There’s room for movement, play, and breaks. I’ll gently guide your family while leaving space for the little moments that make your photos feel like you.
Do we need to know how to pose?
Not at all! I’ll help you feel comfortable with simple direction and natural prompts, so you can focus on enjoying your time together. I will help you feel confident, and not left to wonder where to put your hands...
How do we book a session?
Start by filling out my contact form and telling me what you have in mind. We’ll choose your date and location, then a signed contract and retainer will reserve your session.
