Back in July I shot the Rockabilly Rebel Style feature for Auxiliary Magazine’s Summer 2016 Issue. Shannon Kramp, Auxiliary’s Fashion Editor, styled this installment and Meagan Hendrickson, Auxiliary’s original Fashion Editor, modeled. It was fun having Auxiliary fashion old and new united! Meagan was a perfect fit for the Rockabilly Rebel look which focused on rockabilly fashion with a rebellious, tough, dark edge. Working at rockabilly fashion and pinup store Cats Like Us and writing her gothy blog Coffin Kitsch meant this style was right up Meagan’s alley. We like to feature models in Auxiliary that really fit the look and even embody it as lifestyle is a big part of Auxiliary too.

Center Stage for Auxiliary Magazine
For the Spring 2016 Issue of Auxiliary Magazine I shot this beauty editorial with Shannon Kramp and an amazing team! We wanted the focus to me on the makeup, the hairpieces by Apatico, and the jewelry by Arthlin. One of favorite things about this shoot is the rich color palette that developed.
Auxiliary Magazine Editor Portraits
Recently we launched the brand new Auxiliary Magazine website! Very exciting but it meant other things had to be updated too. One of those things being, our Auxiliary editor portraits. Mine was very old, from 2010! My hair was red back then and cut in a short little bob. Now that my hair is long and purple, it made the portrait seem even older. It was time for an update! I asked a fellow Buffalo photographer, Valerie Kasinski, to take photos of Mike and I. My husband, Mike Kieffer, is Auxiliary’s music editor and he needed a photo update too!
Witchy Dress Must for Auxiliary Magazine
I shot the Fall 2015 Must feature for Auxiliary Magazine with Cats Like Us store owner Julie Ann Davis. I choose a Hell Bunny dress from their shop and was very excited to photograph her freshly colored orange hair. We shot on location by the Erie Canal where is travels through North Tonawanda.
Haunting for Auxiliary Magazine
This is one of my favorite fashion editorials! I shot this cover and fashion editorial for the Summer 2015 Issue of Auxiliary Magazine. Meagan Hendrickson of Coffin Kitsch was fashion stylist and we worked with pieces from Heavy Red, Widow, and a few other awesome designers. Looking back through this editorial just makes me want to get out there and shoot more fashion editorials outside and in nature this summer!
