A Rainbow Baby that brings Joy to this World

A “rainbow baby” is a baby that is born following a miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death or infant loss. In the real world, a beautiful and bright rainbow follows a storm and gives hope of things getting better. That’s how the term “rainbow baby” was minted, as a new baby brings joy and hope about a brighter future. 

This last week I had the immense pleasure of meeting this little girl. She came to the studio with her parents, both in the army, ready to shine in front of the camera. How she made her way to my studio is rather special as well. I actually received a Facebook message, only about a week or so prior to this session, from this little girl’s Aunt – ALL THE WAY FROM ILLINOIS!!

Being a fellow newborn photographer her Aunt asked her sister if she had any plans for a newborn session. When her sister said no, she took matters into her own hand, found me on Facebook and purchases a mini newborn session for her sister. Isn’t that the sweetest? She had told her sister that she’ll find someone that was good enough to meet her standards. Well I’m sure glad I measured up, because this was the sweetest little family. 

And when her Aunt told me that this little girl’s mom keep calling her, her little “rainbow baby” I just knew I had to use this adorable flokati from Luneberry that I’ve been holding on to for forever but never had the chance to use yet.
