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.

If I had to choose one phrase to describe the kiddos we photographed today, it would be “on the go.” Where they find such energy reserves I’m not sure, but I think they could power their entire neighborhood if someone would just figure out a way to plug these two into the power grid! Danny […]

It still feels like it’s only been a few days, or maybe weeks. Karlyn and I were passengers in Amanda’s car, the autumn sunshine pouring into our laps as we sped along the back roads. We were running late, but that didn’t slow down the usual light-speed chatter. I had the back seat to myself […]

I had to share these quick preview pictures that Danny put together from our family shoot this afternoon. The beautiful sunshine-y day turned gusty and drizzly and gray just before we met this wonderful family for a photo session in Central Park. If you’ve been following our blog of late, you might have noticed we’ve […]

Well hey, look at this gorgeous goody that arrived at my door this afternoon. And it’s not even my birthday anymore! I am one lucky girl . . . who is about to put this new D700 through a serious workout with all my upcoming family portrait sessions and styled shoots! This camera is going […]

This year, as millions of young children and not-so-young children and not-children-at-all don costumes and run door to door, I’ve become that house. That’s right, I’m sitting here typing in the dark, hoping no one will notice the glow of my computer screen seeping past my curtains. My porch light is out; I have no candy […]

It was my second birthday, my mom thinks. The festivities winding down, I decided it was my turn to record the monumental day for posterity, so I picked up my parents’ camera and took a picture. Except that the lens cap was still on. Someone else snapped a real picture of me at the same […]
