Makayla labored with the determination of a mother who had already walked through the deepest kind of loss. At UF Shands Gainesville, the same place where she once held Cambria for the first and last time, she now worked toward meeting her rainbow baby. Each contraction pulled her closer, carrying both the weight of grief and the light of hope. And when her baby’s cry finally broke through the stillness, it was more than a birth. It was a moment where love proved it could hold both heartache and joy in the very same breath.

Kenzie’s Easter morning home water birth in Ocala was a story of redemption and unwavering faith. After walking through the deep grief of pregnancy loss, she stepped into labor with courage, prayer, and hope for the gentle arrival of her rainbow baby. In the soft glow of twinkle lights and warm water, her voice rose in prayer through every wave, asking God to guide her baby safely into her arms. Surrounded by love and protected in the sacred space of her home, Kenzie birthed her daughter into a room filled with tears, joy, and gratitude. As her doula and Ocala homebirth photographer, I was honored to witness and preserve every powerful moment, a birth story that will forever stay in my heart.
