Photographing a birth is a touching way for families to document their latest additions, and photographer Kristen Prosser is no stranger to that. When she agreed to photograph her friends, David and Sarah Olsen, and their new addition to the family, she knew it was going to be a bit different.
The Minnesota couple recently adopted a child, and to mark the moment, they brought Prosser into the hospital where their new baby, Tilly Pearl, was waiting. “I have always wanted to photograph the first meeting of an adopted baby,” Prosser said. “I got to be a part of this incredible moment with one of my best friends!”
The couple, along with Prosser, flew from Minnesota to pick Tilly up in Florida.
Finally, the moment arrived! The Olsens met their baby girl for the first time.
It was love at first sight.

As for Prosser, she was thrilled to be able to witness such a touching moment for her friends. “It was one of the most special moments of my life,” she posted to Facebook. “I was so privileged to watch this all unfold. What a perfect example of unconditional and sacrificial love.”
