Ep. 6 – Jana Josue-MacLaren
Let’s talk about burnout, photography, how you aren’t always ready for your own energy, and why it’s important to be yourself. This week’s guest is photographer Jana Josue-MacLaren. Based in Vancouver, Jana loves to work with natural light and photograph people to create images that communicate their most authentic selves.

Yep, Edna SMaK. Just the name made me want to further explore, and she designs lofely clothes that work for every body.
