3 Years of Finding Your Rainbow: A Rainbow Baby Photography Program by NicSo Studio • Charlotte, NC
Each June, during Infertility Awareness Month, we pause to honor the often invisible journey that so many families endure: infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss. These aren’t just isolated events.
They’re chapters of love, grief, hope, and immense strength.
For many, the journey of infertility is not simply about waiting for a baby. It involves month after month of heartbreak, alongside a mix of physical pain and emotional exhaustion. Many find themselves silently grieving for a future that has not yet arrived. This experience deeply affects mental health, relationships, and personal identity.
And too often, it’s carried in silence.
Why Rainbow Baby Stories Matter in Newborn Photography
At NicSo Studio, our Rainbow Baby Photography Program in Charlotte, Finding Your Rainbow, is more than a session. It’s a space where families can open their hearts and feel seen. These stories don’t just create beautiful photographs; they also evoke a sense of wonder.
They create a connection.
They whisper:
“You are not alone.”
“We are here with you.”
“There is still joy to be found.”
We invite you to share your story so others don’t feel so alone.
One mother wrote:
“With this rainbow, we have found how strong I truly am… Losing a much‑wanted child breaks your soul. This growing rainbow has taught me to find the JOY again.”
Another shared:
“With this sweet rainbow baby, we have found that there is hope, and even the darkest of moments can be redeemed.”
That’s the magic of visibility. To be seen, to be heard, and that’s what heals. And that’s what we aim to capture for every Rainbow Baby family we serve.

You Are Not Alone: A Message to Families Still Waiting
If you are still waiting, still healing, and still feeling pain, please remember this:
You are not forgotten. You are not alone. You are seen.
This month and always, we hold space for you.
And when your rainbow comes, we’ll be here—ready to welcome you with open arms and celebrate the story only you can tell.
Why We Keep Doing This
One mama told us:
“After everything we’ve been through, seeing our baby through your lens gave us peace we didn’t know we still needed.”
That’s the legacy of this program.
That’s why, three years later, we’re still here. Still documenting, still celebrating, still holding space.
Capturing the moments you dreamed of… and finally get to hold.
With love,
Sofia
