It’s always a sweet surprise when I find out mid-session that the baby I’m working with just so happens to be a Rainbow Baby. Having a Rainbow baby myself, I know the struggle. I know how hard this pregnancy had to have been constantly worrying over every little thing. So I try to do a special setup when I do find out that they are in-deed, Rainbow Baby’s 🙂
Miss Talayeh was no different. We were using softer colors for her session, so I wanted to incorporate the “Rainbow Baby” into the session somehow. And I knew just as soon as my head started spinning about this, exactly what I wanted to do 🙂 After I took my pictures for the setup, I called Mom over to see, and I could see all the emotion in her face. It was in that moment, that I felt her breathe a sigh of relief. The sigh that told me that everything was ok now. That the struggle was over and she finally had her baby with her in her arms.
Having her two older brothers there was such a fun time. They were older than the typical “older siblings” that I photograph, which was a nice surprise not having to chase kids around the studio… LOL. But, I have a funny story to tell you about the sibling portion of our Session. I asked Mom if she wanted Miss Talayeh completely naked for this part, or if she wanted me to keep a diaper on and just wrap her up…. and of course, we wanted her naked 🙂 So fast forward a little bit to the older brother getting his 1 on 1 time with sister for a few pictures, then we do some of the two brothers together with sister, and we finally get to the part where the younger brother {he was 12} had his opportunity to get in on the 1 on 1 action. And that’s when it happened. The oh so dreaded surprise poop. Yep. I said it. She pooped all over him. Through both of his shirts, and I’m pretty sure he was about as surprised as the rest of us were. Looking back now, he will probably laugh about it, but at the time, it was everything he could do not to throw up and pass out. Of course, with this being part of my every day life, I’m completely used to it, but obviously, this has never happened to him before. Hahahaha. Something tells me that he won’t be getting anywhere near his sister without her having a diaper on for a very long time 🙂
Enjoy your Sneak Peak!!
