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.

Before he even turned around to see Kristin in her stunning wedding gown at their first look, Billy was already smiling so wide that it surely hurt. That’s a good way to sum up their entire wedding day: It was heart’s-about-to-burst-happy, and just as beautiful as a celebration of such a deep, happy love ought to […]

It’s that time of year when I’m in gift-giving mode. And I don’t know why we haven’t done this before — but this year, we want to give a Christmas gift to complete strangers. A portrait session — engagement, family, couple, newborn, whatever the winner would like. An hour of shooting time in the Daytona […]

I think we can all agree that reality TV has, if not introduced, at least perpetuated a lot of negative stereotypes and coaxed society into believing that bad behavior is not only totally normal, but oftentimes inevitable and occasionally even acceptable. When it comes to reality TV, I almost never watch. Particularly when it comes […]

Okay, I’m always a Starbucks fan. But when they bust out their holiday cups and offer their holiday flavors, I really love Starbucks. In the past week, in addition to the always-beloved pumpkin spice, Danny and  have sipped on peppermint mocha, caramel brulee, and gingerbread lattes. And I’ve got one sticker to go on my “earn […]

It’s been a chilly week here in Virginia, with a few snow flurries and temperatures that have dipped to the low twenties. And it’s put me in the mood for Christmas the way a muggy 80-degree day in Florida simply can’t. Even the sky looked wintery in Maryland last night.I’m so ready to celebrate this […]
