CAN 
YOU 
RELATE?

Michelle always felt out of place, like she was on the outside looking in. Her clothes didn’t follow trends, and her interests got blank stares from others. Then, one day, she found a post from a St. Louis boudoir photographer who promised to capture every woman's beauty and confidence. Intrigued, Michelle decided to book a session despite her doubts.

As the day neared, she felt both excited and nervous, wondering if this would truly change her. During the session, she let go of her insecurities. It was more than just taking photos; it was about embracing her true self, flaws included.

When it ended, Michelle felt empowered. She had never seen herself as confident and beautiful before. In the days after, she walked with a new attitude. No longer worried about fitting in, she celebrated her uniqueness and inspired others to do the same.

For the first time, her sacred authenticity had been witnessed—and she'd never unsee it.

I AM A

MISFIT

St Louis Boudoir Photographer Matthew D Kauffmann

Hi! I'm Matthew D Kauffmann, a rebel artist and Certified Professional Photographer behind mIsFiTs Like ME.

I'm the fat kid. The nerd. The awkward one who never quite fit in. My past isn't all sunshine and buttercups, and honestly? I'm still not convinced I belong in most rooms.

But that's my gift.

Because I've lived on the outside, I know what it's like to feel unseen. I know the power of being witnessed without judgment. And I know how rare it is to find a space where your sacred authenticity—the real, messy, beautiful truth of who you are—is not just accepted, but honored.

That's what I create here.

Through my lens, we celebrate free spirits, nonconformists, and anyone who marches to their own beat. This isn't about fitting you into some cookie-cutter idea of beauty. It's about capturing your story, your energy, and the sacred authenticity that makes you you.

For me, it's not just about the art—it's about building a community where everyone feels valued, seen, and celebrated for exactly who they are.

If you're ready to embrace your uniqueness and experience what it feels like to be truly witnessed, let's create something amazing together.
