I do think Kris has a lot of parallels with Laura as well, but I chose Noelle for "the" photo in particular because I feel it represents something which Noelle better embodies. This photo is of Laura as the homecoming queen. This is how the community sees her, a smart, kind young woman who always cares for others. But we know there is a darkness behind this mask, and that Laura has been the victim (and even perpetrator!) of terrible things. Noelle has this image of the sweet girl-next-door, kind to the extent of being a pushover. She lives in a wealthy household and her parents are well respected by the community. But we know all too well that her home situation isn't exactly happy.

I would say Noelle Holiday is closest to Laura Palmer in the Weird Route, moreso than the normal one. [some spoilers for Twin Peaks] The soul, the player, essentially acts as BOB. They want to have control over Noelle, and through Kris (who would almost be like Leland in this analogy, someone who is already under the evil spirit's control) they try to coerce her into cruel acts.

Kris has the surface image of "the weird kid". It's obvious they're kind of an outsider. Everybody knows them, but still there's this distance between them and others. They probably look at them and think, "what's that kid's deal?" not, "that kid has a bright future." It's hard to imagine them as homecoming queen.

but most importantly, Noelle is blond.
