Photographer Sarah Hill captured a moment unlike any other. While photographing client Morgan Tolentino’s delivery, she was able to document the heartwarming moment Tolentino’s daughter became a big sister. Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, the 6-year-old was all smiles welcoming her sibling into the world.

The story gets even sweeter. Hill says the big sis has wanted to be a doula since she was 3 years old. “Her parents have always been upfront and honest with her, and answered any questions she’s had about birth,” Hill tells The Bump. “She was precious. The whole time she was in the room she was encouraging her mom.”

And when the moment finally arrived, it was everything the youngster dreamed of and more. “She laughed and cried the whole time. She immediately asked to do skin-to-skin and told the baby, ‘you’re going to have the best life,’” the photographer recounts to The Bump. “It was incredible to be a part of it and to capture best friends meeting for the first time.”
