WHAT IS A RAINBOW BABY?
I’ve never heard of this term until I started having more newborn photo sessions. It’s not a mainstream term because it’s something deeply personal to a family and it’s difficult to openly talk about such devastation.
By definition a rainbow baby is “a baby born subsequent to a miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of an infant from natural causes.”
Sometimes it’s not easy to get pregnant. And when you think you are, you make plans, and you create expectations. Then one day your world crumbles, when you find out that you won’t have the opportunity to meet your baby.
I remember every single one of these rainbow baby photo shoots because of all the emotion that is at those photo sessions. Parents are overjoyed because of the storm or storms that they’ve been through. And here is their rainbow (baby) after those storms.
Feel free to contact us with any questions or wish to schedule a very special newborn photoshoot.
