Meet Laura | Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

Laura Straub, Kansas City Boudoir Photographer

real women. real stories. real bodies.

no bullshit.

I've photographed over 300 Kansas City women since launching lastphoto.KC in 2019. Before this, I was an engineer, now I run a fully private, exclusively boudoir studio inside a century-old building in the historic River Market, and it's the only thing I do. I'm also ranked in the top 3% of boudoir photographers worldwide by peer vote, recognized as a Small Business Superstar in 2025, and nominated as a Kansas City Favorite Photographer.

A little credibility, since you're trusting me with something personal...

So... Here’s what actually matters:

I create space for women to BE themselves... not the version crafted for social media, not the one shaped by guilt, comparison, or someone else's idea of "enough."
Just you. The real you.
I've got a camera I treat like an extra limb, and a deep need to remind women that they are allowed to take up space and to actually BE themselves.
It’s about finally seeing yourself the way your people do, the way your daughter does, the way you deserve to.

Me?
I’m a photographer, a toddler wrangler, a cat whisperer, a motorcycle rider, and an Alani-fueled over-thinker who cares deeply about this shit... for you.
Because this isn’t just my job.
It’s your fucking comeback story.

And I’m just lucky enough to get a front row seat.
