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 year we did an absolutely magical portrait session swap with our friends Eileen and Phillip when we were at CONNECT, and this year we had to do it again — although we did not miss out on dinner this time around! Since we weren’t planning a full photo shoot this year, we just grabbed our cameras as […]

We met Jennie and Chris at CONNECT this year, and since they were one of the few couples there who weren’t photographers (gasp!), we wanted to make sure they went home with some portraits of themselves. Before the beautiful al fresco dinner on Wednesday night, we squeezed in a quick mini session with them on […]

Here comes the first of a string of mini photoshoots we did while we were at the CONNECT Retreat in Rome, Georgia last month! Kelsey and Craig are an incredibly sweet, talented, and loving couple we got to know at CONNECT last year, when we each opted to stay for the extra free day at […]

A couple weeks ago as I lay face-down on a massage table, I told our chiropractor that Danny and I were about to head up to Georgia for a marriage conference. “Again? Didn’t you just go?!” Yes, one year before. And we had gone one year before that, too. Actually, we plan to go every […]

Last summer my dear friend (and my own maid of honor in my wedding) married Brad on a beautiful day at The Estate on the Halifax. This summer, they’ll welcome their baby! Last month, the morning of Amanda’s bridal shower, we slipped away into the mist along The Loop for an early morning maternity portrait session […]

When I set out to scale back my blogging last year, I wasn’t intending to nearly abandon the blog altogether, save for posting a few photo shoots and weddings here and there. Then again — when I set out to start a photography business early in 2011, I wasn’t intending to become a blogger! Sometimes […]
