A Journey with Lauren Widener Portraits

Spring,TX Family and Senior Portrait Photographer

Hello there! I'm thrilled to share with you a piece of my heart and my art. Born and raised with the vibrant spirit of New Orleans and now blooming in Spring, TX, my journey as a photographer is deeply rooted in the essence of my deep Southern Roots. It's more than just a location; it's a feeling, a way of life that I infuse into each portrait I capture.

I have developed some deep roots here in Texas and am cultivating an obsession for Texas Florals, Wildflowers, and Botanicals! You will find my love of nature, flowers, and landscapes woven into almost every session.

My photography journey started over 20 years ago in High School with Still Life Fine Art Photography of Nature and Architecture and has evolved over the years to include Portraiture and Storytelling. Today, as the heart behind Lauren Widener Portraits, based in Spring, TX, with roots in New Orleans, I specialize in Family and Senior Portrait Photography, along with offering a unique Wardrobe Design Service, Custom Museum Quality Wall Art, and Heirloom Photo Albums. My passion is for each family to have tangible art to pass down to generations.

Preserving treasured portraits is really at the heart of what I do, and I offer the highest quality archival print products such as impressive framed museum-quality canvas artwork and Heirloom quality albums and framed prints that last generations so that your artful images can be enjoyed for many years to come. My goal is to create more than just photos; I aim to craft a legacy of memories that can be cherished and passed down through the ages.

In every portrait session, I strive to capture the essence of my clients, infused with the vibrant spirit, color, and rich culture of my Southern roots. Whether it's the infectious laughter of a child, the tender moments shared between family members, or the proud stance of a high school senior ready to take on the world, each photograph tells a story, your story, through a Southern lens.

Here are some awesome things that my clients had to say about their portrait experience...

“Lauren has such a gift when it comes to getting you relaxed.
I believe she is second to none in her profession.”
~ Gilbert M.

“Wow! Our experience with Lauren Widener Photography was beyond amazing! Lauren has a special talent for capturing beautiful family moments and bringing out individual personalities. We spent 90 minutes laughing, telling stories and having a blast. No awkward poses just a really fun and relaxing session. Looking at the proofs you wouldn't know it was 50 degrees and drizzling (in April). Lauren is professional, fun, understanding, patient and kind. All of these qualities make her vision for the session come to life. Fantastic experience!”
~ Emily C.

“She is fun & turns the session into something my kids enjoyed!
She was able to bring out & capture their little personalities and unique expressions.”
