LAURA YANG

I've
always been
storyteller.

But I never set out to be a photographer. I was (and still am!) going to be a writer. And then as I worked toward that writing goal, someone put a camera in my hand and asked me to try telling stories with something besides words. So with an English nerd's love for character and tone, a romantic's love for poignant beauty, and a realist's love for imperfection, I dove in.

I've
always been a
story-teller.

That was back in 2010.

Since that time, photography has changed much of my life. It's brought me some of my dearest friends. It's reshaped the way my husband Danny and I view serving others. It has even literally taken me around the world. One thing that hasn't changed: my soul-stirring desire to tell stories that feel so real you're sure you knew them before you heard them. Or saw them. It's my privilege to tell those stories for my clients, and for the generations of their families still to come.

Last spring, I shared the story behind Legacy Portraits. But the story of how I became a photographer in the first place? That’s a story I’ve told over and over — but I’m honestly not sure if I’ve ever written it down. So here goes! My photography story starts in college, with a few flashbacks to my […]

Sometimes you stumble into the perfect locations by coincidence. And sometimes those locations turn out to be not-so-coincidental at all. After I learned a wedding was scheduled at the park where we’d originally planned to shoot, I did a little sleuthing around to find a similar spot, where the afternoon sunlight would spill liquid gold […]

Nearly a year ago, on the coldest day of the year, I photographed the youngest member of this sweet family for her first birthday portraits. Last week, we got together in Palm Coast for a full family portrait session, and thankfully the weather was a lot milder for us this time around! They laughed, they played […]

We’ve finally done it, guys. After months of considering it, we’ve launched our new website with Showit5! What that means is that now our website works every bit as well on mobile devices as on computer screens, and it’s every bit as easy to navigate on your phone as on your laptop. And we’re just a little bit excited […]

Between the glowy light filtering in through the pine needles and the girls’ outfits decked with sparkles and tulle, there was an almost ethereal feel to this session that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. It was beautiful, and it was sweet. A few years ago, I photographed these girls all dolled up for […]

A year after photographing Chelsie and Josh’s wedding on her family’s spectacular property, and four years after photographing Taylor and Jerry’s wedding, I headed back down for a full set of family portraits — just this time, without any wedding attire. Of course, these portraits wouldn’t have been complete without several of their Gypsy Vanner horses […]
