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.

It was rainy. It was cold. And it was windy. But Brittany absolutely rocked her senior portrait session! This was another shoot, like Jacy‘s, where I could hardly believe that I was working with this almost-grownup girl, because I’d first met her when she was only a toddler, and a friend of my oldest nephew’s. We had planned […]

It’s no secret how much I love timeless weddings with a splash of modern flair. Colleen and Mike’s was exquisite. From Colleen’s classic Jimmy Choo pumps and utterly feminine Liancarlo gown to the bridesmaids’ fluttery Jenny Yoo dresses and the the groomsmen’s gray suits paired with spiffy brown shoes, their wardrobes hit all the right […]

Two weeks ago today, Danny and I were on the road to Virginia. The night before, as Danny and I were snuggled into the couch watching the Olympics, his sister called him. That alone told Danny something was wrong — his sister is an avid texter, but she never calls. Ever. Except that night. She […]

The day began with the hotel suite absolutely abuzz with excitement, and two kids playing cars and keep the mood light. Just the way it should be on every wedding day. Sarah and Matt put together a celebration filled with their favorite things (football, anyone?) and their favorite people. Emotional toasts, a boisterous reception, a […]

When I wrote about shooting wedding day family portraits nearly a year ago, I mentioned how we never went over the specific location for family portraits with our own wedding photographer. But there’s something else we didn’t do that was an even bigger issue: We didn’t have a list of the family groupings that we wanted […]

Jacy was so much fun to work with for her senior portraits last month! If you’ve been following my blog for a while now, you might recognize the beautiful location where we did Jacy’s pictures — because Jacy’s family hosted Danyelle and Kevin‘s fabulous wedding reception on their property one year ago. And if you’ve known me […]
