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.

Recently, I have been listening to Seth Godin’s incredible book The Icarus Deception. I can’t say enough good things about how challenging, liberating, and inspiring this book has been for me — but today I want to say only one thing that I’ve taken away from this book. Until something you’ve created is shared, Godin argues, […]

Never, ever in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would get to work with my husband on a daily basis. It is such a joy. Even when we’ve stayed up late into the night revamping our website (all last week) or been so tired and sore after a wedding that we can hardly […]

They stood at the altar, side by side as they officially committed their lives to one another. And with a simple gesture, Stephen summarized that commitment when he reached up to brush one of Jessica’s tears off her smile-sore cheek. They’ve each found someone to wipe their tears away for the rest of their lives. […]

While my photographer friends up north are shooting portraits with gorgeous autumn-y backdrops of crisp cornflower skies and leaves easing into hues of russet and copper, it has still felt like summertime here in Florida. At our last engagement session, I wore a sleeveless blouse. In fact . . . I’ve worn a sleeveless shirt […]
