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.

Did you know you could do that — distill warm salty breezes and hammocks and powder-fine sand into the perfect scent of vacation?One spritz and I’m in the tropics. Even if I’m actually about to go make a business delivery instead. ~ Laura

Okay, so it’s been a while since I posted anything about photography itself. And I’ve been hearing a lot of questions about video lights and LED lights from other photographers recently, so I figured this was a good topic to introduce on the blog. We’re mostly natural light photographers, but that definitely doesn’t always work during […]

I’m not sure that I can think of a better way to kick off the week than this! Amber and Daniel put so much heart and sweat and energy into their handmade wedding this past March, so I don’t know if there are any other couples out there who are more deserving of having their […]

We were wrapping up Laura and Sam’s post-wedding portraits at Lake Eola, where Sam proposed last fall, and they were just a few minutes away from melting in the 95 degree heat. That was when the cameraman from Fox 35 News walked up and asked if they’d mind answering a few questions for a story about […]

By four months old, there’s no question a little girl has a mind of her own. Hanging out with her family one morning last week — in some seriously stifling heat at 9 a.m. — Sonnette impatiently flipped through the pages of the storybook Mom read to her. Go faster, Mom, Sonnette’s newly-acquired motor skills […]

What a difference four months can make. The last time I saw Sonnette, she was one week old, sucking on a binky in between two-minute naps, her eyelashes fluttering beneath her dainty headband. This morning, she was a lot more active — lending a hand to turn the pages of a storybook (kind of), even […]
