A Mehendi Art Experience Is Now Available As An Add-On To Your Love Nest Pregnancy Portrait Session!

A painting of mehendi art on a bellyLove Nest Photography is proud to announce a creative collaboration with Toronto-based artist, Gabrielle Lasporte, offering a Mehendi art experience to expectant women who would like to accentuate and adorn their own special “work of art” - their growing belly!

The Mehendi ingredients used to create your one-of-a-kind belly art are all natural. They include: Mendhi powder (grinded henna leaves),Tamarind paste, sugar and lemon juice. Eucalyptus oil or tea tree oil may be used but this can be omitted if you prefer.

Great care is taken to ensure the comfort of you and your baby during this process. We will not place any ingredients on the belly button area for example, due to that area’s high level of absorption. When considering this added feature to your portrait experience, we encourage you to discuss with your doctor first.

To book a pregnancy portrait session and a Mehendi belly art session, please contact Tara Wilkinson at Love Nest Photography at (416) 530-1951 or (613) 393-1572 to discuss fees and availability.
