11 beautiful rainbow baby photos

You’re never in it alone, that’s why photographer Alex Bolen brought together six women who experienced pregnancy or infant loss to create this powerful image of hope.

When photographer Ann Norment was contacted by Kathryn for an underwater maternity session, she was thrilled. Kathryn and her partner Zachary had lost their twins 10 weeks into the pregnancy, so she knew she had to create something special. The result is the perfect mermaid-esque rainbow baby photo.

Photographer Brittany Gidley perfectly captured this mom’s happiness at her impending arrival.

Mom Jessica Mahoney endured six miscarriages, but celebrated her rainbow baby with this beautiful photo captured by JoAnn Marrero.

Once Mahoney welcomed her rainbow baby, she went back for another photo session, this time with photographer Mary Maloney. The result is absolutely stunning.

Mom, dad and their rainbow baby all in one photo. The tiny rainbow feet are the cutest touch.

Honour your rainbow baby by adding a colourful backdrop during their newborn photo session, just like Katie Mathews did when she photographed this cute baby.

Another great idea is to make raindrops to represent your rainbow. Afterall, rainbow babies are the calm after the storm.

Brisbane-based photographer Luisa Dunn offers free rainbow baby sessions for families who are welcoming little ones after a loss. Here, she captures a newborn as a little cloud blooming out of a rainbow.

Once your rainbow baby is old enough you can celebrate with matching PJs, just like this mom did.

After overcoming an ectopic pregnancy and the loss of a fallopian tube, Britni Lamance has become the mother of two rainbow babies.
