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.

I can say, unequivocally, that I am in love with light. Dreamy backlit shots:And flare-filled shots:Sunset shots:And the soft, romantic shots we get when the sky is overcast:I love how learning how to use light to our advantage shaped our photography, and our photographic identity. It defines what we shoot, the way we shoot, and […]

There were already tears in both their eyes when Taylor handed her mom the gift from Jerry. Robin glanced down at the handkerchief and let her tears start falling. She held it out so the embroidery was visible to the cluster of Taylor’s bridesmaids gathered at the church, waiting to enter the sanctuary where Taylor […]

For weeks now, I’ve been eyeing the magnolia trees in my neighborhood. Their leaves, a deep waxy green, slowly became the backdrop for the gracefully sprawling ivory flowers I associate so strongly with the South. I think of Charleston, and I think of magnolias. I think of Mississippi, and I think of magnolias. Even their […]

They pulled into the parking lot and Claire stepped out of the car, crossed the short distance between us, and reached out for a hug. “I feel like I know you guys already.” She did, but she didn’t. We hadn’t met before, only talked on the phone a few times. That had been enough: We […]

Sometimes a girl just needs a new pair of frivolous, potentially dangerous sky-high heels. Sometimes it’s even better if that girl finds them on a really great sale. I can’t wait to wear these, and I can already hear my feet crying for mercy. ~ Laura
