Mom Influencers Recreate Their Ancestors' Photos in Stunning Photo Shoot

Now more than ever, connecting with your heritage is a relatively quick and easy process. In fact, exploring your roots has become a full-blown trend thanks to companies such as Ancestry.com and 23 & Me—BYUtv is on its fourth season of “Relative Race” a competition reality show that follows contestants around the country in search of their family roots. The fascination and curiosity that comes with discovering who you are is seemingly contagious. In celebration of the return of “Relative Race,” BYUtv gathered seven female influencers to recreate their ancestor’s portraits in hopes of emphasizing one’s strong connection to their ascendants and the results are breathtaking.

These YouTubers, bloggers, and Instagrammers pulled from their own personal archives before flying out to Utah where they were handled by the best hair, makeup, and wardrobe specialists. Each before and after shot packs a powerful message about just how connected to our past we really are.
