This was such a special shoot for me, as Jenna and I went to high school together, many moons ago.
We were actually cooking partners in grade 10 home-ec , but spent more time laughing with the boys at our table, than learning to cook... oops!
Anyways, when Jenna reached out for a shoot with her daughter Makayla, I was thrilled to get to see a familiar (and stunning) face!
Jenna has grown into an incredible woman, and it was amazing to hear what she has been up to. On top of raising her gorgeous mini-me, she is a Yoga instructor at Kamloops Hot Yoga, as well as a Birth Doula, with "Luna birth and Wellness."
All of her yoga training has clearly paid off, as she was able to carry her daughter, while in flip flops and a stunning gown, across a log over the muddy water, with ease!
They were such troopers with the wind (that made for amazing photos , I think) and the trek to the water.
Several rounds of "baby shark," a couple snacks here and there, and Makayla was a super star!
It is an honour to create these images for such a strong, inspiring woman.
Thanks for the great shoot, and the much needed catch up Jenna!
Check her out on instagram at @lunabirthandwellness for her doula service, and @kamloopshotyoga01 for yoga!
