Lauren Ridgeway Photography

I’ve been wanting to expand my creative boundaries by playing, taking risks, and challenging myself. Photographing in new, exciting ways. Photographing subjects I traditionally have not. In 2026 my goal is to continue expanding and pushing forward my artistry. Year of the horse and all that. 🐎⚡️

I don’t have the perfect words to express myself right now. But today felt heavy and joyful. My Nana loved the snow. She cherished every rare southern snow. She loved sitting by the fire with a cup of coffee and watching the snowflakes falling. I was filled with that same awe today, but also grief. I thought of many beautiful, but painful memories. Most of all I had a resounding feeling that she should be here, on this special day. I miss her everyday. To honor her, I took these today at my grandparents home. These pictures all have very specific memories and stories to them. Joy and grief.

Western-wear collection🐎| This is my version of a quickly put together, fun, women’s western clothing capsule. If I could creative direct for a brand! My inspiration was timeless and classic pieces for the modern, stylish, and outdoorsy woman. Think 90’s Ralph Lauren, Wrangler, Tommy Hilfiger.
