2014 entrepreneur of faith conference : the lions den : 2014 : oklahoma city area photographer : valerie vaughn : withunmind photography

on september 13, the annual entrepreneurs of faith conference will be held at southern nazarene university. i couldn't hope to do it justice to explain the awesome, life changing things that are sure to happen there. check out the website http://www.entrepreneuroffaith.com for detailed information! one component of the conference will be the lions den. it is modeled after the abc show, shark tank. using a selection process (that has already started), 5 entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to pitch their business or business idea to the lions for the chance to win one of 3 grants totaling $5,000 and 1 on 1 mentoring sessions with the lions. sounds like exciting times!! i had the pleasure of shooting four of the eight lions in a special session. the 4 lions pictured, from left to right (in the top photo) are estela hernandez, sean abbananto, mark temple and aprille franks-hunt!

the goodfellows : a family affair : withunmind photography

it was so serendipitous that i ran in to that family. they have introduced me to the wonderful world of essential oils. its really been life changing. it was so my pleasure to be able to photograph them. if i haven't said it before, photography and storytelling and creating, those are my drugs of choice. it gives me a high. it feeds my SOUL! i love that i have the ability to reflect back to my clients the beauty that is them! i left this session on cloud 9 and it still puts a little pep in my step every time i get to look at these images.

boxer lydell rhodes : oklahoma city photography by withunmind

love love LOVE that i get to meet and know and share the stories of so many different people. the connecting and sharing that happens on both ends is easily the BEST part of it all! it was definitely fun to meet and shoot lydell. he was open for anything as we shot a few different looks. its always good to step outside of your comfort zone and do something a little different.
