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.

With five girls already in the mix, they got the question nonstop: “So, do you think this one will be a boy?” And their answer every time was an honest, “We don’t know.” They’d decided not to find out this time and let baby # 6 be a surprise! Another surprise: baby # 6 was’t […]

Last June, when Danny and I announced our transition from wedding photography to portraits, we put together a new website, changed our search engine optimization so people wouldn’t find our business when they searched for wedding photographers, and we added the title “Legacy Portraits” to our brand. In that one blog post when we made our […]

Fact: I am a terrible gardener, thus I don’t enjoy gardening. Fact: there are some species of flowering plants that are tough enough to resist my black thumb. Our bougainvillea nearly froze this winter, and now it’s blooming more brilliantly than ever. We thought our azaleas had died, but they’re riotous with color right now. And […]
