I cannot express the joy and happiness that I felt taking photos of this family as they welcomed their Rainbow Baby into their family. It was a long wait for Samson that was full of grief, heartache and stress for this loving family but their joy was palpable when I met them and adorable baby Samson. I spent two hours in their Edmonton home and our time together was full of laughter, giggles but also a time of sharing the story of baby Atticus who they loved and lost and will continue to miss for the rest of their lives. I hope that I brought compassion and understanding to their session with my own experience with losing Ella. That is my wish when I do my Rainbow Baby photo sessions; for the family to know that I have walked a path similar to theirs and I will try take photos of a family that has tremendous joy with their newest member but has also experienced a loss so great that no words can explain the pain. I hope these photos give them tremendous joy as well as help them as they continue to heal.
