The canvas that kicks back
Last September, I adorned a mama whose baby kept kicking me! As an artist, I was captivated by the freedom of movement the baby had, which necessitated occasional pauses in the design process, allowing the canvas to shift and adjust. Rather than posing a challenge, the baby's energetic movements added to the joy of creating.
Her requests for the design included the moon phases, lotus and mandala.

Here is Dacia in my henna throne right after adornment.
She has been a doula for some time now and told me, oh you painted Monet! Monet is another incredible birth photographer who I had the pleasure of adorning years ago. As it happened, she gave birth right after I painted her and the birth was photographed. To see Monet’s photos, scroll through my page on Pregnancy.

After I finished my session with Dacia, we stepped out into my garden for a quick photo. Shortly afterwards, Jessie arrived to take her on a photo adventure. I really love collaborating with photographers, they see things I don’t see, and I love the fresh perspective they bring.

Dacia returned as her henna was blooming, its rich hues deepening, and we reveled in the magic of capturing her essence amidst the sanctuary of my garden, weaving a tapestry of light, color, and earthy wonder.
