Misfits Like Me

Misfits Like Me Inclusive, Empowering St. Louis Photographer for the rest of us Professional misfit. Former paramedic, forever photographer. LGBTQIA+ friendly. Kink positive.

I've spent 20+ years capturing love stories, but my real passion? Celebrating the beautifully unconventional souls who've never quite fit the mold. At mIsFiTs Like ME, I create empowering, intimate photography for free spirits, rebels, and anyone who's ever felt like an outsider. Because the world doesn't need more "perfect"—it needs more you. S*x worker safe space. All bodies, all identities, all stories welcome. Let's make art that makes you feel like the badass you are. 📸✨

“You don’t have to perform to be photographed.” We start plain, let you set the pace, and keep consent in the room. Your pause cue matters. Your no matters. Your yes does too. That’s the work — not pressure, not a show. Just you, seen cleanly. What would make a session feel safe for you? ***irWithBoundaries

LGBTQ Bo***ir Photography in St. Louis That Actually Means It
You were told, at some point, that the way you love or the body you live in was the problem — that you needed to be fixed before you could be seen. That was a lie, and not even a particularly creative one. What Matthew Kauffmann has learned across 25 years of doing this work...

“Too edgy for bo***ir”? That’s a myth we hear a lot.

You don’t have to soften your sharp edges to be photographed here. We work consent-first—no performance, just your real self as you are. Neon, lace, a little side-eye. That counts as sacred too.

What part of your style feels most you right now?

bo***ir photographer Belleville IL
You have been told, in a hundred different ways, that your body needs work before it can be seen. That the camera is something you earn access to — after the weight loss, after the skin clears, after you’ve become the version of yourself that’s finally acceptable. That is a lie, and it has been...

Plus Size Bo***ir Photography in St. Louis: You Were Never the Problem
Someone told you your body was the problem. Not the lighting, not the lens, not the culture that decided a narrow set of measurements was the baseline for beauty — your body. That lie got repeated enough times that it started to feel like a fact. Sacred Authenticity is the practice of being witnessed exactly...

Bo***ir Photography in Metro East Illinois: The Frame Was Always the Problem
Someone told you that certain bodies get photographed and certain bodies get described as “brave” for trying. That is not a compliment. It is a category — and the category is designed to keep you grateful for scraps instead of claiming what was yours to begin with. Sacred Authenticity is the practice of being witnessed...

B**M Photography in St. Louis That Actually Gets It
You have been told that what you want is too much. That the things you find beautiful — the rope, the ritual, the carefully negotiated surrender or command — are something to be managed, explained away, or kept in a locked folder on your phone. You have been told this so many times that some...
