Mom Celebrates Rainbow Baby With Stunning Underwater Photo
A powerful maternity photo is celebrating a family’s rainbow baby and highlighting the beauty of hope after loss.
For Creech, taking this photo was particularly special because she’d worked with this family once before, under less joyful circumstances.
The Oregon photographer volunteers for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, an organization that offers free professional remembrance portraits for families experiencing stillbirth or early infant loss. A year ago, she received a call from a nurse at a local hospital to photograph a baby, who had been “born too early” and would not survive.
“When I arrived, the very tiny baby girl was fully dressed, in very poor condition, and being carried around on a pillow with blankets all arranged artfully around her,” Creech told The Huffington Post.
“The family had truly taken time to get to know their little one; to bond it seemed,” she recalled. “Their 6- and 8-year-olds were in the room, as well as the in-laws and cousins. It was a large group for such a tiny baby. Everyone wanted their portrait with baby. There was a lot of grief and a lot of love, as well.”
