a custom-tailored experience that's
made for you.
The sun is setting at the end of a beautiful summer day. You've spent the last hour at a gorgeous Lincoln location dressed up and having so much fun with your family that you almost forgot you were taking photos. Your session has felt effortless and relaxed, so as you twirl your kiddos around through a wildflower field as the sun sinks behind the horizon, you just keep thinking you don't want it to end quite yet. But, you're beyond excited to see all the photos you already know you love.
This could be you. Taking photos doesn't have to be intimidating or overwhelming - that's why I created the signature portrait experience.
They'll never be as little as they are today

I'm Laura Cuong, your family photographer
The first time my family ever did professional photos was my senior year of high school. I was SO excited to get all dressed up with my sister and have photos of us and our parents that weren't taken on an iPhone! You deserve to be SO excited for your session, have fun, and love the results - and I'm committed to making that happen because I remember when I felt the same way.
hey there!
"We can’t imagine using anyone but Laura for pictures we want captured for our family!! We have used her for family pictures, our daughter's birthday, engagement pictures, and our wedding. Every session has been more than I have ever asked for."

crafted just for you
After booking, you'll receive a session prep + styling inspo guide. Once you’ve had some time to dream up your session vision, you’ll fill out a questionnaire to let me know what you’re envisioning! You don't need to know anything concrete (but if you do, sweet!), just give me the vibes and I will take the planning from there! We'll then get together over Zoom to match locations, outfits, and props to your vision.
Whether you know exactly what you want to wear or need some help choosing, I’m here to help! I can go through your closet with you to find the perfect pieces to fit your vision + the locations we choose, or I can send you personalized shopping links that fit your style. I also have a client closet with wardrobe options for mom and littles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long are family sessions usually?

What if my kids don't sit still during the session?
That's totally fine! I get a few posed photos, then focus on natural family connection and movement.
Do I get sneak peeks?
You do! I send a sneak peek the day after your session, and I post to Instagram stories, as well.
How does choosing outfits and styling work?
You fill out a questionnaire with your preferences, then I will provide guidance + shoppable links.
Can I post my images on social media?
Yes! You can use your images for social media or anything that is personal use.
What if I want a location that requires a permit?
If I don't already hold an annual permit to the location, I will invoice you for the cost of the permit.
Will you shoot film during my session?
Yes! I'm a hybrid photographer, so I shoot both film and digital throughout your session.
Being a mom is being constantly busy. You don't have hours to spend planning a photo session, but you want to document the magic of the season you're currently in because you know it will pass too quickly. So, hiring someone with an eye for light and joyful moments is only half the equation - you also need a photographer that gets your vision and guides you through planning to ensure you will love your final images.
Because I'm a mom that loves light-hearted photos, too
So, I created exactly what mom's need - a custom-tailored experience that results in timeless, joyful images.

I'm ready to book!
I've been a family photographer for 12 years! Over the past twelve years, I've refined the experience I provide for families because, as a mom, I understand how special each season of life is. Custom-tailoring the locations, outfits, and length of sessions makes a world of difference in how much you love your photos, and using my mix of posing and prompts allows your family to feel truly connected in the moment and in your images.
You want beautiful family photos, but you need a little help to make your vision come to life with the perfect locations, stying, and posing. That's where my experience comes in.
You're in the right place.
I completely understand - this is a big decision! Consultations are the best way to see if we are a good fit. Schedule one below.
