WELCOME TO THE DIGITAL HOME OF ERIC LILLARD PHOTOGRAPHY,

where I invite you to follow my journey where moments and light meet.

Residing in Erie, Colorado, I am passionately exploring the backroads of this beautiful state with an eye for capturing memorable scenes that invoke emotions and feelings.  As a photographer, my primary calling is to capture fine art landscape, wildlife, and astronomy, but my photography embraces diversity as I love the challenge of photographing across many genres – each one offering new perspectives, challenges and unique insights to see the world.  My online gallery features beautiful and dramatic images across the United States and Europe.

PLEASE RELAX AND EXPLORE MY GALLERIES, SERVICES, AND PRODUCTS WHERE YOU WILL FIND IMAGES THAT WERE CAPTURED TO BRING EXCITEMENT AND JOY TO MY VIEWERS.

My work reflects the places and moments that move me most:

  • Colorado is where my creative spirit feels most alive — from snow-dusted peaks and quiet winter mornings in the Rockies to vibrant wildflower meadows and golden aspen groves in autumn. My work celebrates the wildlife of Rocky Mountain National Park, the serene landscapes of Fraser and Winter Park, and the brilliant skies above Erie where hot air balloons drift over the Front Range. Each image reflects the awe this state inspires in every season.

  • From the rolling wildflower fields of the Hill Country to the windswept shores of Galveston, Texas reveals its beauty in bold and subtle ways. Eagles soar, herons wade, and spring bluebonnets blanket the land in color. Each image celebrates the light, life, and texture of a state that’s as vast and expressive as the skies above it.

  • From the golden hills of Tuscany to the quiet canals of Venice and the dramatic peaks of the Dolomites, Italy is a landscape of timeless artistry. My travels across the country have inspired moments of light and form that blend history, beauty, and emotion. Each image invites you to wander through places where every stone and shadow tells a story.

  • I’m endlessly inspired by the night sky — the quiet power of the moon, the brilliance of the Milky Way, and the fleeting beauty of celestial events that connect us to something greater. Through long exposures, patience, and precision, I aim to reveal the mystery and wonder that unfolds above us every night. These images are both technical pursuits and deeply personal meditations on light and time.

  • Wildlife photography is where patience meets instinct — a waiting game for that perfect moment of grace and power. From elk in the high country to great blue herons along the coast and raptors soaring above open fields, these encounters remind me how fragile and extraordinary the natural world truly is. Each image reflects both respect and reverence for the creatures that share our landscapes.

  • Testimonials

    “My husband and I had been admiring Eric’s beautiful work for a while, and so when we planned a hot air balloon ride to celebrate my birthday, I had to reach out to him to ask him to take pictures of that special morning. He did not disappoint. He met us super early in the morning, and captured incredible pictures of us as a family as we were getting ready to fly, and in the air. I can’t wait to frame some and hang them in our son’s room. Eric is not only extremely talented, but also a pure delight to work with - we are so glad we connected with him!”
