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.

Due to distance and unexpected travel plans, Calvin was already one month old when I got to meet him. He was worth the wait. Amanda has been one of my dearest friends since before we were teenagers, and she was my maid of honor when Danny and I got married. When I first started dabbling in […]

This announcement has been a long time in the making. Now that the time has come, it’s bittersweet. I’m really not a fan of melodrama or a long, drawn out build-up, so I’ll go ahead and just say it: We are shifting the focus of our business from weddings to legacy portraits. Our brand new […]

My friends, isn’t that the truth?(Adorable print by Green Tie Studio, but sadly no longer available in their shop.) Since September, I’ve had this on my desk, right where I see it any time my eyes slip away from my computer screen. I need it there. I need it where I can see it almost constantly. I […]

They contacted us in December, when we shot their engagement portraits when they visited Florida, and they asked how we would feel about shooting a wedding in Warrenton, Virginia. Since Warrenton happens to be just a town over from Danny’s parents, the setup couldn’t have been more perfect. And Deneice and John’s wedding day earlier this month? It […]

It was as they kicked off their reception that Justin was able to put his thoughts and feeling into words, to share them with all the friends and family gathered inside the tavern with the newlyweds to celebrate. He thanked them for coming, he thanked them for being a part of the wedding and their […]

If you’ve been through the blog before, you might recognize Amy and Chris. Danny and I had the pleasure of photographing their engagement and wedding in 2013, and last month, I got to photograph something that may be even more exciting: the two of them with their absolutely precious little man, cozy at home. I love doing […]
