The Green Cauldron
The Green Cauldron, my art studio, was absolutely buzzing with positive energy. Women often tell me how beautiful and cozy it feels, and this session was no exception. It’s designed to be a place of ease and relaxation, complete with comfortable seating, a private bathroom, and a selection of teas and other beverages to enjoy. Pregnant mamas especially love choosing from my extensive collection of silky fabrics to wear while they recline in the "henna throne" – they truly feel like queens! As you know, henna adornment can take between 1 ½ to 2 ½ hours, so comfort is key.
Fiona Rose, an amazing photographer I have the pleasure of collaborating with from time to time, joined us and captured some incredible shots of me working on Michelle's unique henna design. I love the images that she took!
The 2 photos below of just the #bellyart were taken by me.

Michelle's henna application took about two hours, and then Fiona Rose captured some beautiful photos of her in our yard. These were taken in early May, and we were lucky enough to have some gorgeous purple and blue flowers blooming, which added a lovely touch to the backdrop.
Afterward, they headed to a beautiful location here in Boulder, where Fiona Rose continued the session, photographing both Michelle and her partner. I'm so pleased with how these photos came out—the mountains, the mama, the magic, it all just came together perfectly!

3 days after her henna session, Michelle and her partner returned to my studio, and we had a brief photoshoot in our backyard. What a gorgeous henna stain! I love the color of all natural henna. I also love seeing my art again one last time before it fades away — henna typically lasts a week or two, so it was a great opportunity to capture it.
