Have you heard the term Rainbow Baby before? The term, according to Kicks Count is:
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. The rainbow is more appreciated having just experienced the storm in comparison.
I recently had the honor of documenting the birth of Lila and Tim’s Rainbow Baby. In Lila’s own words:

Jenny says
There are so many moments that you captured perfectly! I love the black and white of mom gripping the bed rail right before the one of her holding her babe. Let’s talk about THE moment that every loss mom longs for during a rainbow pregnancy-the moment when she is finally able to take a deep breath after months of worry because her sweet little miracle is finally safe in her arms. That relief and joy can be felt in that photo. Congratulations to this family and thank you for sharing your story!
