Agony, exhaustion, determination and fear followed by relief, joy and love -- birth photography captures all the emotions and moments of your child's entry into this world. But perhaps the most special is the very first time parents meet their baby.
In honour of Valentine's Day and the purest love of all -- the love parents have for their children, we found birth photos that captured that magical moment.
We hope these fill your heart to the brim.
