From Nothing to Profit Kia Bondurant and Aubrey Lauren

"Though my muscles may stiffen, though my skin may wrinkle, may I never find myself yawning at life." ~ Toyohiko Kagawa
We think women of every age should be photographed and celebrated. Over the year's we've photographed lots of high school seniors. The world tries to tell us we should look like that 17 year old forever. Although that’s a beautiful age, it’s fleeting, still a child - literally. Striving to look like that is not only wildly unattainable, it does women a disservice. - Aubrey and Kia
Join Aubrey and Kia as they discuss aging, their personal views on it and why they want to change the way we view aging for women. Every woman at every age is beautiful, powerful, valuable and should be celebrated.

Aubrey and Kia chat health and how they maintain a healthy lifestyle during their busy season. They share background on how their unique journeys brought them to value health and share their practical tips that you can start applying to your life today. 
Aubrey shares her top 8 tips in her daily schedule including her daily meal plan. We all love a meal plan!
Kia shares the 4 ways that she is working to incorporate a healthy lifestyle into her every day life.

Aubrey and Kia interview Kia's husband, Andy Bondurant. Although he is currently a pastor, his knowledge of photography and business goes beyond being a spouse of a photographer. Andy was the director of a large conference and membership organization for senior photographers, exhibited at every major photography convention and had a set and background company.
Check out his answers to these questions:
-Tell us what you are doing currently and how you got to where you are today?
-Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
-From someone who has watched the photography rather from a far, or up close for the last 20 years, what advice would you give photographers?
-you’ve helped a lot of people through hard situations; When do you know it’s time to walk away from a business or job?
-What would you say to someone who is creating a business for the first time?
