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.

So the term “better late than never” definitely applies to this situation, because these pictures are late in hitting the blog! We shot these portraits last October, more than half a year ago, but I promise this beautiful sunrise session was worth the wait! This family’s previous portrait session was about as different as could be […]

Graduation has happened, and this girl’s ready to head out of state and off to college! But before that all unfolded . . . I’m so glad I got the chance to shoot her gorgeous senior portraits this spring! If this girl isn’t the definition of camera-ready, I don’t know what is. She was so absolutely […]

It’s been two years since the littlest dude in this family full of boys made his debut, and a lot has changed, and a lot has stayed the same for these four brothers and their parents! Changed: the boys are all a good bit bigger. Stayed the same: they’re all as silly and sweet as […]

This week in Florida feels summery in all the best ways: sunshine, warm breezes, clear skies. Anyone else in need of some beachy, summery vibes? Well you’re in luck — because today I’m pulling out a gorgeous, dripping-with-sunny-skies-and-sandy-toes session from last August. This is the kind of sweetness that happens when a family — mom […]

I know, I know — two months is a long time between blog posts! But we’ve been busy, for a very good reason (or ten). In short, here’s what we did in those two months: Traveled to Atlanta for a business trip. Traveled to Nebraska to help our friends move. Helped run a weekend beach retreat for […]

What a year. What a year. Just like the year before it, for myself and so many people I know, there was a whole lot of hardship but even more beauty in 2017. My pictures didn’t capture the hardship — that went into my journal, and into long conversations with Danny and family and friends. […]
