These photos make goose bumps. Not only because the six fresh mothers with their colorful dresses are breathtakingly beautiful in front of the magical setting and the four 'Rainbow Babies ' in the photo are simply sweet-sweet. No, the colorful photos are noteworthy above all for one thing that you would not even see at first glance: All of the six women who beam their babies with joy into the camera had already had a miscarriage before they became mum,

The idea of ​​capturing mums with their 'Rainbow Babies' (as babies call themselves after a miscarriage that was 'sent from heaven', so to speak) came from photographer Alex Bolen of Shutter Darling Photography during her own pregnancy. As probably all mothers-to-be, Alex also dealt with possible complications during her pregnancy and eventually came up with the topic of miscarriage.

"I came up with the ideas to shoot six unique stories, " Alex says in an interview about her photography project, "I want to give hope to women who have suffered such a loss and encourage them to keep trying." There's always a spark Hope."

Looks like Alex can do it: the picture the photographer posted on Facebook has now reached 26, 000 likes and has been shared more than 20, 000 times.
