Hi! I'm SarahKate, welcome to my Blog!

My Speciality is honoring motherhood with Henna Tattoos, but I adorn women and their daughters for all kinds of reasons - birthday parties, rites of passage, even weddings. I love to adorn pregnant and breastfeeding women with henna then make beautiful photos for them. I live in Lafayette, CO and travel the front range from Colorado Springs, Denver and as far North as Fort Collins to find my living works or art. I am also the creative director of Artfull Mother magazine - a local magazine devoted to the interests of mothers and the art that empowers them!

For her henna belly theme, Eve requested the Buddhist mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, a symbol of blessing and compassion. I expanded the design with lovely flourishes ~

Here are some amazing photos we got when the tattoo was peaking in color ~

Trisha's full chest henna has a lovely lotus & tree theme ~

She returned with her little boy for breastfeeding photos, to capture the unique bond between a mother and her nursling.

I met Nicole during the first year of my Blessed Belly art project, back in 2008. Looking at this photo, I see just how much has changed in how I create and capture the art.

For this pregnancy, we had a tree theme, stretching up to Nicole's heart.

Her whole family came for photos, and we started indoors with a few color changes. Her daughter got some henna on her hand to match ~

Even though it was very cold and snowing, we decided to try for some outdoor photos anyway. I love how they came out! Colorado is such a magical place covered in snow.

This henna body art is done to celebrate TWINS and has a theme of sun, wind, boulders and roses ~

When the henna was peaking we met for more photos ~ starting inside the studio where it was warm ~

And then outside into the beautiful snowy landscape of Boulder, Colorado!

There were so many birds flying by... on this photo below, you can see them ~

This henna belly design has a watery theme with seals, sailboat and a light house ~ more of an east coast feeling ~

We met to take photos when the henna was peaking ~ and as it so happens it was also snowing! I photograph in all weather and the snow didn't stop us. Jaime stayed warm in her jacket while my amazing lighting assistant got the lighting set up.
