A Rose for her daughter

Jessica came in to honor her 3rd pregnancy with henna and requested several elements - a mandala, mountains, and a rose for her daughter - whose full name includes Rose, a namesake of one of her ancestors. She sat on the Henna Throne and I adorned her for about 2 hours. Afterwards we slipped outside and I took some photographs of her in our backyard. 

She returned a couple days later with her whole family for more photos. The natural henna tattoo, also called a henna stain, takes 2 or 3 days to oxidize and get to its darkest color, which varies person to person. I love to see my art in this stage! I got to meet her 2 adorable little boys who were so sweet.
