Engagement Photos with Kendra & Adam
Kendra and I go way back to middle school. Back when I often referred to her as "Kendyyyyyy" in an overly exaggerated voice. It means a lot that she asked me to shoot her engagement photos. We had a blast walking around the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum (a must visit if you have not already been). I met her boyfriend at the time, Adam, briefly at our wedding, which was already a couple years ago now. It was great getting to know him more. Overall - a super fun couple to shoot with. I hope the best for these two as they move forward in their relationship and begin planning for their special day.
The following are a sampling of my favorite images from the day. Enjoy!
Like what you see? Please do get in touch with me whether you are interested in an engagement photo session or just want some fun portraits as a couple at your favorite place! Contact me at brandon@brandonlepasti.com. I hope to hear from you!

Steve A.K.A. The Wreath Man A.K.A. The Bum
Perhaps some of you remember this portrait I made of Steve Bergsten, A.K.A. The Wreath Man, back in early 2012?
Well ever since he made it on the news and referred to himself as a "professional bum", he has been giving out prints of my image above signed, "The Bum". Below is a signed print that the Poplar Warehouse has on display on one of their checkout counters. Puts a smile on my face!

In Loving Memory of Marion Lundberg Olson
My great-great-aunt, Marion, recently passed away at 103 years old. She was a remarkably strong woman, especially for her age. I remember back when I was in elementary school (Marion was somewhere in her 80's) and Marion and I were kicking a soccer ball back and forth - she accidentally stepped on the ball and flew back onto her butt. She got right back up, laughed it off, and kept on playing. It was a golden moment and the whole thing was caught on home video. Up until her brief illness, Marion walked up to 3-4 miles a day on the Corridor Recreation Trail near her home. The last time Sara and I were up north to visit family, we ate dinner with my grandparents, Great-Uncle Bill, and my great-great-aunts: Marion and Elsie, at the family farm. This was the first time I heard that Marion had traveled the world in her younger years - her favorite place being Machu Picchu. I asked her, "Marion, if you could travel anywhere right now where would you go?" After a few second pause, while slightly leaned over the table staring at her plate, she mumbled, "well I don't know... probably somewhere I haven't been before."

I shot this portrait of Marion in her bedroom this last May - keeping in mind that it very well could be the last time I saw her.
