## About Portraits & Personal Stories

When I work on your portrait mehendi, we spend time discussing exactly what matters to you. Whether it is a portrait of your parents, your pets, or that first meeting spot, I map it all out first. It takes patience to get the expressions right, so I usually block out extra time to ensure the shading and fine details look just as perfect on your skin as they do in your reference photos.

### Your Story in Henna

Every couple has a unique narrative, and my goal is to translate that onto your hands. Whether you want to include your wedding hashtag, the date you first met, or a beautiful portrait of your parents, I love bringing these details to life. This process is deeply collaborative.

### How We Create Your Custom Design

- **The Consultation:** We start by talking about the elements you want to include. Send me your high-quality reference photos for portraits so I can study the features and capture the resemblance accurately.
- **The Planning:** I map out the placement of the figures. I ensure the portraits sit comfortably on your palms or forearms without getting lost in the surrounding patterns.
- **The Execution:** Using fine-line techniques, I create the figures first, then build the traditional network (Jaal) or floral motifs around them to frame the story beautifully.

### Practical Tips for Your Booking

- **Timing:** These designs are complex and require precision. Please plan for a dedicated session where we won't be rushed.
- **Placement:** Portraits work best on flatter skin surfaces, like the palm or the inner forearm, to ensure the detail is clear and long-lasting.
- **Aftercare:** Since we use organic henna for these detailed pieces, the stain develops beautifully over 48 hours. I always provide tips to help you get the deepest color possible for your wedding photos.

I travel across Bangalore for these custom storytelling sessions, ensuring you get the perfect look for your engagement or wedding day. Let’s make something that tells your story perfectly. ✨
