Rainbow Baby Photography

As a mother herself, seeing that line appear on a pregnancy test is the most exhilarating feeling the world.  That joy shared with your spouse is at times all you can ever think about.  There are sometimes moments of “what if” that creep into your mind now and then.  Fears of miscarriage, still birth or loss the baby along the journey to motherhood.  For some women these fears become a painful reality at the loss of their baby.  How does a woman come back from this cloudy place and share in the joy of living again?  How can she pick up the path to becoming a mother once more and triumph after her dreams were dashed.

Boats sail on the rivers, and ships sail on the seas;
But clouds that sail across the sky are prettier than these.
There are bridges on the rivers, as pretty as you please;
But the bow that bridges heaven, and overtops the trees,
And builds a road from earth to sky, is prettier far than these.

-Christina Rossetti

What is Rainbow Baby Photography

A rainbow baby is a child born after the loss of their previous sibling for any reason.  The rainbow that results from a dark and rainy storm is always the brightest and that is where the name comes from.  The next little bundle of joy to join the family will be a rainbow of happiness and joy. A special newborn session highlighting that rainbow is what rainbow baby photography is all about.

What Makes A Rainbow Baby So Special?

After any loss there is an abundance of emotion.  Through all the pain and darkness, some families find hope and light with the birth of their next child. A rainbow baby doesn’t mean that a family has released all of the painful emotions, but takes that emotions, sparked by a deep love, and transforms them into a flame fed by the bliss and hope of a new baby.
