TAMPA BAY OUTDOOR AND STUDIO FAMILY SESSIONS
Connection
photography is
not just pretty pictures
when was the last time you
Slowed down…
Felt fully present with your loved ones…
Felt the joy of simply being together…
Forgot about the chaos and focused on connection…
Were reminded of how much love surrounds you…
Had moments captured that you’ll treasure forever…
if you can't remember, it's been too long and
for you to do something about that!
Now is the Time
I can help you out with that.
It’s never the right time to take pictures, is it? Life is busy, the to-do list never ends, and there’s always another excuse. And when you finally look back at the moments you’ve captured, you realize you’re hardly in them. You’re always the one behind the camera, making sure everyone else’s memories are preserved. But what about yours?
What if you could step in front of the camera and finally be part of your own story?
I Freeze Time, Helping You Relive the Moments That Matter
We hired Lilla to do family portraits, and the results are amazing! She consulted with us about where we wanted to hang our portraits, what to wear, and then coordinated the backdrops to tie it all together. She carefully and thoughtfully arranged our family to capture the best angle and smiles from each person.
Lilla made our first family photo experience with our furbabies so easy!
She was patient and very kind. She was also quick to respond/solve any concerns we had previously before booking.
The Best Photographer We've Ever Worked With!
Lilla is such an amazing and talented photographer!!! Her images are so beautiful and she strives for nothing except perfection! I literally loved the images from our family session so much I cried when I saw our images in the beautiful slideshow she created! Lilla is so sweet and takes her time with you not only on the day of your session, but every step along the way to make sure everything turns out absolutely perfect!

Frequently Asked Questions
When you're ready to take the next step, please reach out to me or schedule a consultation call. To ensure that we cover all the details of a session, answer any questions you might have and find a date that works for everyone, I like to hop on the phone and talk to you. I am also able to take your session fee payment over the phone. I find this is the easiest and fastest way to make sure we don't forget any important details and get you on my calendar.
I'm NOT photogenic. Will you be able to get good pictures of me?
It's not your job to be photogenic. In fact, I don't even think there's such a thing... If you have fun and feel beautiful and confident, it'll show and that's exactly what we'll do. We'll select clothes flattering to your body type, doll you up with hair and make up and I'll show you how to pose. I'll show you the back of my camera from time to time so you can see how gorgeous you look right away. It'll be SO MUCH FUN and you'll walk away feeling sexy and confident and you'll have the pictures to show for it.
The unpredictable weather and heat are the main reasons why I recommend scheduling your outdoor family session end of October-mid April. Outside of this window, we schedule a second, rainy day backup day or a morning session instead of a sunset session. I usually wait 3-4 hrs before the session start time to reschedule due to weather as storms in Florida come and go and sometimes sunsets are the most beautiful after a storm. If you need to schedule your family session during the rainy season, I ask you to be flexible and understanding about last minute change of plans due to the weather.
Yes and no. While I always do my best to pose everyone in a flattering way from head to do and facial expressions, it's harder the more people are in the shoot. For this reason, I always take multiple images of the same pose, to ensure we have good facial expressions for everyone, then I blend multiple images together seamlessly in photoshop. This is my proven process to ensure everyone looks perfect for that piece of wall art in their home.
The session fee is $450 and it includes
pre session planning and design consultation over zoom to plan out all the details for your session (location, outfits, posing requests, etc)
1 hr or outdoor session time during Golden Hour OR 2 hrs of studio photography time

Fine art editing and high end retouching on all purchased images
The use of my client closet
* the session fee doesn't include any printed images or digital files
Most kids behave way better during a photo session that parents anticipate. We can take breaks and let them run around for some candid moments between posed setups. I'm a very patient person and don't force them to look into the camera and smile, yet, I always manage to capture great smiles. The most important thing is: don't stress! Kids are very sensitive and they can sense your energy. If you're tense, they will be too and that's not what we want!
Within 2 weeks from your session, we schedule an in person ordering appointment to view and select your favorite images from your session. You only purchase the ones you LOVE. This way you have total control over how many images you buy and what you spend. A variety of the highest quality products, such as wall art, albums, matted prints are available for purchase, along with digital files.
