Kelli Kidd, a mother of two, posed for the photos with her 4-year-old son Lawson. Kidd told \"GMA\" that she had experienced two miscarriages in 2012.

\"It was just true devastation,\" Kidd said. \"You go in and see on a screen that your baby is not moving, no heartbeat ... the silence. A lot of things go through your mind -- you think, 'Is something wrong with me?' You do go through some fear and uncertainty.\"

\"I felt so alone,\" she added. \"I really didn't have anyone to seek out help from. I felt like if I could be a part of [the photo shoot], it might help someone else.\"

Kidd and her husband Colby welcomed Lawson, their rainbow baby, in 2014.

\"This shoot was important in spreading hope to other women who have experienced the loss of a baby, but it was also a celebration of [life],\" Kidd explained. \"Lawson is turning 5 and starting kindergarten. It causes me to think of the babies I lost, but to be especially grateful to be able to see Lawson grow up.\"

Sargent let the moms and kids pick which color of the rainbow they wanted to wear. Kidd and Lawson chose the color yellow.

At the end of the session the women took part in a balloon release, which represented the children they lost.

\"I asked that they remember the feelings they had, and let go of the pain they had felt,\" Sargent said.
