Nothing can prepare you for one of the most magical moments of child rearing -- the first instant you lay eyes on your newborn.
Marry Fermont, an extremely talented baby and birth photographer from the Netherlands, writes about her First Moments project:
There are so many emotions in this moment: joy, relief, amazement, pride, love, euphoria, contentment and so many different reactions: smiles and tears. Moments of silence and moments of extreme joy.
Marry also suggests we keep tissues handy while viewing these photos, and she is absolutely right.
