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.

So far, the pictures I’ve shared from China had been colorful, or grant, or sweeping views of the Great Wall — the things tourists go for, and in all honesty, the pictures people want to see when they think of China. But today’s blog post is made up of pictures far more precious than that. This […]

It’s no secret I’m a fan of golden hour light. The more peachy/salmon/orange/ocher the better, as far as I’m concerned. Since I do most of my sessions entirely with natural light, I usually schedule outdoor portrait sessions to overlap with golden hour at one end of the day or the other. It used to be […]

The bad thing about sunrise portrait sessions is waking up long before dawn. But that is the only bad thing about sunrise portrait sessions. Between the almost-empty beach, the beautiful pastel colors of the sand and sky, and the sun peeking up out the ocean, sunrise is pretty hard to beat. Throw in a cute family relaxing on […]

It’s been a whole month since my trip to China ended. I haven’t stopped thinking about it. And I’m finally sharing a little more of it! On our first full day in Beijing, we visited the Forbidden City — with cameras, of course. The sheer size and scope of this giant walled compound was amazing. […]

If you follow my personal Instagram account (@lauraeyang) or personal Facebook page, then you saw that I took a little trip last month. Actually, a really big trip. To China. There’s much more to come, from pictures all around the Forbidden City (the most visited museum in the world with 14 million annual visitors . . […]
