UNL Graduation Photographer
Timeless, fun images for grads who love customized experiences and lots of light
I provide a fun photographer (and videographer!) experience for college grads who want to document the final days of their college journey. I help you prep for your session, provide a session guide full of advice, and hype you up during your session! I mean, we are celebrating a huge milestone, after all! I encourage lots of smiles and movement during your session to make it as authentic as possible. After your session, you'll get your full gallery of images up to two weeks later, which you can download, share, and print directly from!
hey, I'm Laura!
Five years ago (holy cow - I swear I'm not that old 😅), I was in your shoes - taking my final classes at UNL, triple-checking my degree audit, and planning for post-grad life. It was so exciting and so scary all at the same time!
After graduation, I worked at UNL for 4 years, with my main focus being student leadership and homecoming planning. It was so, so fun, and I LOVED working with student leaders - I definitely miss that part of the job!
While at UNL, I took grad courses and graduated with my master's degree in Integrated Media Communications while also taking some history courses. (I can confirm, it was not as fun as undergrad. But, it was worth it!!)
Now, I'm a full-time business owner & photographer! I love every chance I get to be back on campus, especially when it's for celebrating grads with a photoshoot!
"Laura was so sweet, professional, and made me feel comfortable when taking pictures. She was kind and suggested poses and WOW my graduation pictures were amazing!!"

How it Works
Choose between a petite grad session, a signature grad session, or a grad collective. Petite sessions are perfect for one look with minimal planning. Signature sessions are customized for multiple looks in several spots around campus. The Collective includes up to three sessions, which are often used for 1-2 solo sessions, a session with friends and/or a session with family.
BOOKING
PLANNING
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! A few weeks before your session, we'll get together over a quick Zoom to match locations on campus with your outfits and any props.
Sessions take place in the early afternoon to get lots of clean, pretty light! Signature sessions typically last 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on how many outfits and locations you are wanting. I'll guide you through a mix of classic, smiling poses and fun poses full of movement and laughter so you can just relax and enjoy the experience.
SESSION DAY
GALLERY REVEAL
3-4 weeks after your session, we’ll meet via Zoom for your gallery reveal! You'll get to view your full gallery (& highlight film, if applicable) for the very first time! Parents are invited to join. You’ll choose your favorite images from the gallery as a part of your collection, or upgrade to the full gallery. Chosen images will receive touch-up edit (stray hairs, blemishes, etc.)
The images you choose during the gallery reveal will be available in a private (but shareable) online gallery a week after your reveal date. Images are downloadable in high-resolution (best for printing) and web-resolution (best for saving to your phone & social media). If you added on a highlight film, it will also be in your gallery.
DIGITAL IMAGES
PRINTS & ALBUMS
Your reveal is also when we can order albums, prints, products, and gifts. You simply choose what you love, and I’ll take care of placing orders, shipping, and delivery! All prints & products are ordered through a professional photography lab that I am calibrated with for highest quality.
"Laura came prepared to make my session a memorable experience that was fun and smooth. Throughout, she was attentive, accommodating, and knew exactly what she was doing with helping me get into the right poses and feeling confident. Most of all, the pictures turned out great!!"
