Taking pictures of a pregnant mother and documenting the journey of her pregnancy is a wonderful way for soon-to-be parents to preserve the joy and excitement of expanding their family.
These priceless pictures will allow the couple to look back throughout their lives and remember the beautiful day they greeted their dear child into the world.
Every pregnancy photo is beautiful, but some stand out as exceptionally memorable.
A Special Day at Atlantic Beach
Dad-to-be, Dan Mozer, a 30-year-old, suggested taking a short trip to nearby Atlantic Beach in Jacksonville, Florida, with his wife, Angelina, to capture some photographs. Known to locals as a relaxing spot, the beach is also popular for walks and picture-taking opportunities.
Inspired by the surroundings, Dan asked his pregnant wife to pose by the tranquil waves of the ocean with a serene backdrop.
Equipped with his camera, Dan took some photos of Angelina as she joyfully posed by the water, proudly displaying her baby bump.
Upon reviewing the images, Dan realized he had taken a truly once-in-a-lifetime picture, all thanks to an unexpected yet charming surprise in the background.
A Dolphin Steals the Show
What had graced the backdrop precisely as Dan was capturing the image? A dolphin made a majestic leap out of the ocean just behind Angelina!
Dan was aware that dolphins frequented the area, but he never imagined he’d catch one making such a spectacular appearance in a photo of his expecting wife.
“When I snapped it, I exclaimed, ‘Oh, my goodness!’ Angelina, unfortunately, didn’t see the dolphin jump,” Dan shared with AWM.
The couple affectionately attribute the appearance of the dolphin to their son, Courtland, who was born on January 27th. They often joke that Courtland called the dolphin from within his mother’s belly.
The Dolphin’s Perfect Timing
“The dolphin jumped twice, but I prefer the photograph of the first leap,” Dan stated.
Although Courtland seems to have an affinity with dolphins, Angelina and Dan are sticking to their chosen name. “No, we’re not changing his name to Dolph Finn, despite some playful suggestions,” Dan confirmed.
