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!

Auxiliary Magazine Kickstarter
Over five years ago myself and three other editors founded Auxiliary Magazine as a magazine for alternative fashion, music, and lifestyle. I had been shooting alternative fashion editorials for a while and couldn’t find the perfect outlet for them, so we created one. Since then I have had the privilege of working with countless photographers and writers and featuring countless designers, artists, and musicians. It has been a great five years!
To get Auxiliary to the next level and to send the magazine to print, we are pre-selling subscriptions via Kickstarter. Kickstarter is the best known crowd funding website and a great way for artists and musicians and other creatives to independently fund their projects. The Kickstarter is the first time Auxiliary has offered subscriptions and one of the rewards for backing is the first Auxiliary Magazine T-shirt, it’s very exciting for us!
Please consider backing and getting a digital or print subscription. You’ll see my photography (plus my editing, art direction, styling, and writing skills) in each issue plus tons of other amazing work from many other amazing creatives. There are only five days left to back so get all the details, watch the video, check out our rewards packages, subscribe, and help spread the word!
