This Woman Did A Stunning Maternity Shoot After Going Through Six Miscarriages
“This is so heartbreaking and beautiful all at once.”
After six miscarriages, Jessica Mahoney is expecting her second child with her husband, Kevin, in November.
To mark the occasion, Kevin Mahoney decided to organize something special for her maternity shoot, getting in touch with Connecticut-based photographer JoAnn Marrero.

Marrero told BuzzFeed News that the couple wanted to do a shoot that was inspired by the rainbow for their rainbow baby, which is a baby born after a miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss.
Marrero said after speaking with the couple about their vision, she worked with fellow photographer Mary Maloney to create “their own rainbow” with smoke bombs.

“Jess was feeling fabulous the day of the shoot,” Marrero said. “Kevin and their 4-year-old son, Corbin, attended the shoot as well.”
Marrero said the photo shoot involved a lot of coughing, color-stained clothing, and rainbow-wash everywhere, but Jess “stood with composure” through it all.
“This was definitely her moment,” Marrero added.
