Mom's Stunning Photography Sheds Light on Miscarriage and Infant Loss
Natalie McCain has been photographing and celebrating real moms' bodies since 2015, when she started The Honest Body Project, which serves to combat body-image issues. Since then, she's photographed postpartum bodies in a number of different ways: with breastfeeding mothers, pregnant mothers, and tragically, mothers who have experienced loss.
Natalie's upcoming book full of beautiful black and white photos and emotionally charged stories from real mamas, The Honest Body Project: Raw, Untouched Portraits of What It Means to Be a Woman ($25, available Aug. 15, 2017), dedicates an entire chapter to those moms who have lost a child, whether due to miscarriage or infant loss.
Natalie's hope for this chapter, as written in its intro, is to shed light on the fact that one in four women experience miscarriage or infant loss, but many almost never speak about it. Ahead, read some of the heart-wrenching stories from four moms who have tragically lost a child and are speaking out to help break the silence and support other moms who have gone through similar situations.
