Aspen Brandy Lea

Aspen's journey into photography began with her own modeling career, during which she worked with Cravings Magazine, Cheeky Doll, and Munchkin, and posed for photographers such as Jose Eber, Mario Barberio, and Jose Amigo. She also appeared on the VH1 reality series Model Employee, where she was the first contestant eliminated, but her modeling work paved the way for her to become the owner of MINGO photography. At MINGO, she focuses on capturing memories and believes that editing is as crucial as the shoot itself, bringing stories to life behind the photograph.

Aspen founded Rebel For A Change, a non-profit dedicated to empowering individuals to break the silence when walking alongside a loved one battling addiction. She married Ray Luzier on June 26, 2016, at the Keys Creek Lavender Farm in Valley Center, California, in a totally private ceremony attended only by their two sons, Hudson Ray and Beck Jagger. The couple began dating in 2009 after Aspen interviewed Ray for an assignment with Rivalry Nights. Their sons, Hudson Ray Luzier, born February 15, 2011, and Beck Jagger Luzier, born March 17, 2015, have shown early signs of following in their father's musical footsteps, with Beck taking an interest in drums. Aspen often shares photos of her family on Instagram, reflecting the close bond they share.
