I'm Laura Cuong, the unl grad photographer
The first time I ever had professional photos taken of me (besides toddler-era Christmas photos at JCPenney) was my senior year of high school. I was SO excited to get all dressed up and have photos of me that weren't iPhone selfies! 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!
"Laura did an amazing job!!! She has the best personality to be a photographer for any type of shoot. She’s easy to talk to if you have any questions and if you want anything specific for your shoot she’ll make it happen."
— Katelyn

Frequently Asked Questions
How long are grad sessions usually?
Most senior sessions are 1-2 hours; usually about 20 minutes for each outfit + spot on campus.
Can I use one of the images for applications?
Absolutely! Make sure to let me know you need a professional headshot, and we'll get several options.
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, colleges apps, yearbook submissions, or grad party invites.
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.
When I was a senior, I searched for a photographer with a light & airy, timeless style. However, I learned that hiring someone with an eye for light and joyful moments is only half the equation - having a photographer that guides you through planning is soo essential, because it directs how your images will turn out.
Because I wanted timeless, light-hearted photos, too
So, I created exactly what I wanted - a custom-tailored experience that results in timeless, joyful images.
I understand exactly what you need

I'm ready to book!
I've been a photographer for 12 years, and I spent eight of those years on UNL's campus. Over the past twelve years, I've refined the experience I provide for my grads because I understand how special this session 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 you to feel like your true self in all the images.
You want beautiful grad 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.
