What is a rainbow baby?
A rainbow baby is a child born after a loss of a previous child.
It does not negate the ravages of any storm.
When a rainbow appears, it does not mean that the storm never happened or that we are not still dealing with its aftermath.
It means that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and the clouds. Storm clouds may still hover, but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy, and hope.
Loss of a child takes on many forms. Miscarriage, infant loss, stillbirth, or neonatal death all take on a horrifying nature of their own that leaves much pain and devastation - particularly to a momma’s heart.
When a momma is able to experience her rainbow in the midst and after a storm, there is something extra sweet about the light and beauty of this child that brings comfort and joy. Carrying this child is an extra special celebration of the blessing of this rainbow.
After all that you have been through, momma, investing in a special maternity session to beautifully document the time you carried this special child is a treasure you will take with you the rest of your life. You want a vivid memory of how you felt.
How beautiful you were.
The new light that was shining from within and radiating from you.
You want to look back and remember when you started feeling hope again.
As he grows, you want to have something tangible to show this child.
You want him to khow how he made you feel and how special he was to you from the very start before you ever met him.
One special story of a sweet rainbow baby who was recently in my studio is Luciano’s story . . .
His momma shared, “We had a miscarriage and then a ruptured ectopic pregnancy that almost ended my life! They took my right Fallopian tube and I had a blood transfusion it was unreal. I thought we’d never be able to have kids. But then he happened and he is literally the strongest guy! We are over the moon how healthy he is right now.”
I personally have been through the pain of miscarriage, and my son Luke is my rainbow baby.
I know the pain. I know the devastation. But I also know the joy and comfort that comes in the gift of a rainbow baby.
It is an extra special honor to me to beautifully document YOUR rainbow baby and provide heirloom photos for you to treasure for always!
