10 years of mother-daughter henna
I first met Stacey in 2014 when she came to celebrate her pregnancy with henna. It was a cold February day but we did get outside for some photos when the henna was peaking in color.
In 2014 I was working on an art project that not only included pregnancy henna but also postpartum henna and breastfeeding henna. Stacey was so wonderful to work with and she was happy to return for more henna and photos. Every time I needed models, she volunteered.
Postpartum henna, breastfeeding henna, mother daughter henna… over 10 modeling sessions with hundreds of photos taken.
It has been so sweet to see her daughter grow up and get to adorn her too! I love how I get to know so many amazing women through my work, and the chance to witness their daughters grow up is just so precious.
This past fall when Fiona (of @FionaRosePhotography) and I started working together, I wanted to have a mother-daughter session and once again, Stacey and her daughter were excited to participate.
Sun and moon was the henna theme for their session. Here’s a photo of me adorning Stacy’s daughter in my art studio in Boulder - The Green Cauldron.
After adornment, Fiona snapped this one of them laying down, and then they went out on an adventure together and she captured so many sweet moments between this mother and daughter.
