These Raw Photos of the Moment Moms Meet Their Newborns Are Absolutely Breathtaking

Marry Fermont

Wedding photographers often capture the first moment a groom sees his beautiful bride coming down the aisle, and they're arguably some of the most beautiful photos in existence — until now.

Marry Fermont, a birth photographer in the Netherlands, has started a series of photos that capture the exact moment parents meet their newborn baby, and they are absolutely stunning. She says that though being at a birth is always special, this "first look" is her favorite part: "The reactions are so different and you never know what to expect, except for a lot of love in the room. Just being there and witnessing such a special moment makes you happy." The first moments after having a baby are so emotionally charged, and Marry's gorgeous snaps expertly capture all of those feelings.
