Lilacia Park in Lombard | Family Photography

Hi, I'm Kristen!
I'm an award-winning senior portrait and family ' photographer based out of Chicago and the San Francisco Bay Area. I love sunshine, cacti, chocolate chips, and a great cup of tea - but most of all I love photographing joyful clients. :)

Classy and comfortable senior portraits!
Capturing those fleeting moments one snap at a time.

I loved taking this family’s photos at beautiful Lilacia Park in Lombard, IL! Lilacia Park is well known for its stunning display of spring flowers (go in late April/early May!) and its holiday light display in December, but it is a gorgeous garden the rest of the year as well!

These sweet brothers are SO well-behaved and friendly! The elder brother pushed through his fears of bees and got some beautiful photos with his brother next to the late summer flowers.

I love this sweet little guy with the zinnias!

The best part is this hug from his brother was TOTALLY unprompted!

What a beautiful family! Also, I love how the mom’s skirt coordinates with the bright flowers!

There are so many gorgeous late summer blooms at this park. I know many clients love fall colors, but I’m really partial to the beautiful greens and flowers of spring and summer!

This beautiful family with beautiful sunshine!! 🤩

I love a classic black and white shot. I feel that without color you tend to focus on the emotions in the photo a bit more!

One of my favorite shots – unprompted they held hands and walked together. 🙂 There is probably some metaphor to be made about these two little guys being part of each others’ lives for a long, long time, and how family sticks together. 🙂

The sun was coming and going – but that allowed us to use more background locations and get a greater variety of looks!

Thank you for braving the bees of the rudbeckias for this beautiful shot!

The two boys love cars and trains, so we had a brief pause to watch the trains from the park! It’s fun to capture a few candid shots to round out the gallery!
