“A rainbow baby is a baby born shortly after the loss of a previous baby due to miscarriage, stillbirth or death in infancy. This term is given to these special rainbow babies because a rainbow typically follows a storm, giving us hope of what’s to come.”
When I ever read this mama’s email, I immediately filled up. My heart absolutely broke reading her story and everything she and her family have gone through over the past few years. This precious baby boy is her rainbow baby, so joyfully welcomed into their family after such unspeakable losses. I am so thrilled that I was able to meet and photograph this little angel and his beautiful family, they were so gracious and so in love… it was a very special day. I truly felt like I was walking on a cloud the rest of the day, that this work is exactly what I’m meant to be doing. Little baby H was 3 weeks old at his session and an absolute angel the entire time. Big sister E was equally as angelic and literally THE most well behaved and sweetest 3 yr old I’ve ever photographed. Hands down! I am just so happy that we were able to capture these moments for this sweet mama and wonderful family. Congratulations again on your beautiful family!
This text from baby H’s mama after seeing a sneak peak of their gallery brought me to tears:
“Hi Lauren, it was an absolute joy meeting you! I am speechless on what to even say except… thank you. Tim asked me at one point, ‘Are you happy?’ meaning with the photo shoot and I started tearing up and said ‘Yes.’ I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to handle and photograph our little love and family. I’m losing it over that preview! You have pulled every heart string I have with your wonderful work.”
