Cianna brought her beautiful 6 week old son to my studio when I first opened up in Whitecourt, AB, at the end of September. 3 weeks later, she brought the rest of her beautiful family for an outdoor session at the Forest Interpretive Center. How happy was I to have a returning customer so soon ?? I was thrilled, of course! And totally honoured to take their family portraits!

Rainbow Baby (first maternity session for Stay Gold)
Rainbow Baby.......
I hadn't heard of the term Rainbow Baby until I met Amanda and her beautiful family. It is a term used for a baby who arrives after one has been lost. Amanda shared her heartbreaking loss of her son with me and I thought for days of how best to help honour her son and the new arrival at this session. I didn't want to go with the traditional (and over-done) heart-shaped fingers over belly routine, and since it was my first session - and an outdoor one - I wanted to make it a beautiful one with lots of golden light. Fortunately, the weather was beautiful that evening and as the sun was setting, we did our rainbow baby session. I feel so honoured to have been apart of this wonderful family's life in this way and can't wait to hear of rainbow baby's arrival in November.
