She is a tree
Hebrew Translation: She is a tree
Originally Lisa had requested 2 birds for her 2 daughters, but when I suggested 5, since they are soon to be a family of five, she liked the idea!
The little one in this womb is being named after a beloved uncle who passed away recently. His vibrant energy is represented in the 6th bird, the one pulling the ribbon across the tree, "She is a tree."
Lisa had looked through my blog before her session. She saw my post featuring the pregnant belly with the Hebrew words "From generation to generation," and it inspired her. She requested I incorporate a Jewish phrase that holds special meaning for her family, particularly because her husband is very fond of trees.

In fact, the last time I saw Lisa, 7 years ago, I was adorning her for her first pregnancy. She had come with the design idea of a tree and a robin. The robin representing a beloved family member, now departed.
The images brought back such wonderful memories of Lisa as she stood on the brink of motherhood. Hearing about her journey to now having three children was truly fascinating. Baby #3 was very active and enjoyed the henna session, gently kicking me a long.

Lisa returned with her whole family when the henna was peaking in color.
As I went through the pictures, I was so touched by the image of Lisa and her oldest daughter looking at each other. It brought back memories of the photos I took seven years ago when Lisa was gazing at her pregnant belly. It's such a universal feeling for mothers, that curiosity about who their children will become, and now there's another little one to imagine!
On a related note, I wanted to mention that while I provide detailed henna care instructions for expecting mothers, sometimes the henna on the belly doesn't develop as darkly as expected, even when the instructions are followed precisely. It's just one of those unpredictable things about that particular area of the body. Hands, on the other hand, reliably stain beautifully.
I also wanted to share that I regretted missing the chance to celebrate Lisa’s second pregnancy with a henna session because of my travels. For anyone interested in booking a session with me, I highly recommend planning in advance. I currently have several pregnant mamas booked over the next three months.
