Baby Yetzi

  One of my favorite parts of my work as a henna artist that celebrates pregnancy is seeing a mother's most extraordinary creation - her baby. This dear one, Yetzi (Yetzmari), was just 6 weeks old and absolutely precious. 

  I met Chelsea when I adorned her for her pregnancy, honoring her 5th baby. She loved the idea of capturing the blessing of breastfeeding with art and photos, and told me she'd be in touch after the baby was born. She contacted me after the birth and we scheduled 2 session, one for henna, one for breastfeeding photos. When she arrived for her henna application she showed me a remarkable video of her giving birth to her daughter in her bedroom. I love to hear birth stories, and hers was no exception. I listened in awe as I adorned her with flowers and vines.

  A couple days later she returned with her dear baby and the rest of her family as well. While she was getting ready, I had the privilege of holding dear baby Yetzi. There is nothing like holding a newborn angel! I love getting a sweet little baby blessing. 

  We took photos in the studio and outside. My backyard is pretty private, so it was easy to spend time out there in the pleasantly warm weather. It's a little chaotic with 5 children! I did get some sweet shots.
