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.

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.

Let’s be honest here. Even though I’m a photographer, my work days don’t usually look like this:On ordinary days, they look like this — complete with a couple chai lattes and a more-often-than-not untidy desk: That’s the view I have most days when I’m working at home. Over the years, lots of people have told me […]

For months (years, if I’m being honest), I’ve been saying I wanted to do something to make our front door more welcoming and inviting. A couple months ago we finally kicked off that project by painting the doors a wonderful, rich colonial blue, and then last weekend — voila. I don’t have a particularly good track […]

For the second year in a row when we did a photo swap with Eileen and Phillip of Blume Photography while we were at the CONNECT Retreat, we walked away absolutely in love with the portraits they captured of us. And as photographers, it is so valuable to get in front of the camera sometimes […]

Lorri wanted to celebrate their first Mother’s Day — just her sweet little girl and her, just the two of them making their first trip to the beach together and enjoying the sunshine during their portraits at Ponce Inlet. It was glorious. How adorable is this?! As it turned out, even at only seven months old, she is an absolute […]

It’s been a long time since I blogged any Daytona Beach senior portraits, but today Shona is making the blog beautiful! I absolutely loved her bright, playful, beachy, Lilly Pulitzer-centric style, her ready laugh and her sparkling eyes. After shooting at a nearby park and then a quick outfit change (LOVE that Lilly dress!), we […]

When we met Eileen and Phillip two years ago, we clicked right away. We saw each other again a year later at CONNECT in 2014, and we made plans to get together. This past January, they brought their daughters Jasmine and Juliette down to Florida to visit us for a week, and last month, we […]
