Capturing the growth of a baby during pregnancy through photographs is a wonderful way for expectant parents to treasure the joy and anticipation that comes with starting a family.
These cherished images allow couples to look back over the years and reminisce about the special day they welcomed their precious child into the world.
While every photo of a pregnant woman holds its own charm, some are truly unforgettable.
An Unforgettable Day at the Beach
Dan Mozer, the soon-to-be dad, suggested a visit to the nearby Atlantic Beach in Jacksonville, Florida, with his wife, Angelina. It seemed like the perfect place to capture some memorable photos.
The local beach is beloved for its relaxing atmosphere, scenic walks, and as a backdrop for photography.
With the idea in mind, Dan picked up his camera and asked Angelina to pose with the ocean in the background.
Angelina stood by the waves, warmly showcasing her baby bump with a smile.
Little did they know, Dan managed to capture a truly one-of-a-kind photograph thanks to a remarkable addition in the background.
The Unexpected Guest
As Dan pressed the shutter, a playful dolphin made its appearance by leaping out of the water just behind Angelina!
Although Dan was aware of the dolphins frequenting the area, he was taken by surprise when he managed to snap one mid-jump in the background of his wife’s pregnancy photo.
“When I saw what I’d captured, I thought, ‘Oh, my God!’ but unfortunately, Angelina missed the moment,” Dan chuckled.
Both Dan and Angelina attribute this spectacular shot to their son, Courtland, who was born on January 27th. They humorously suggest that Courtland called upon the dolphin from within Angelina’s belly.
The Dolphin’s Insight?
“Interestingly, the dolphin jumped twice, but the first jump was my favorite,” Dan noted with a grin.
Even though Courtland seems to have a special bond with dolphins, Angelina and Dan are firm about not changing his name. Dan humorously confirmed, “No, we’re definitely not renaming him Dolph Finn, despite what some have suggested.”
This extraordinary photo has certainly become a beloved keepsake, encapsulating the precious moments leading up to their son’s arrival and a delightful surprise from nature.
