Plenty of photographers are there to document a baby's birth - but one recently got to capture the touching moment when her friends met their adopted baby for the first time.

Kristen Prosser, 31, a photographer from Minnesota, went to the hospital with David and Sarah Olsen as they traveled to bring home the newest addition to their family, Tilly Pearl Olsen.

'I have always wanted to photograph the first meeting of an adopted baby,' she said. 'I got to be a part of this incredible moment with one of my best friends!'

So excited: The couple flew from their home in Minnesota to pick up the baby in Florida

The waiting game: The series of pictures capture the couple waiting in the hospital for the chance to meet their little girl

David and Sarah first found out that they had matched for an adoption on Tuesday of last week. Early Wednesday morning, they flew from the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area to Florida, where their new little girl was waiting.

'It was one of the most special moments of my life,' Kristen wrote on Facebook, where she shared the beautiful photos. 'I was so privileged to watch this all unfold. What a perfect example of unconditional and sacrificial love.'

The series of pictures first show the couple in the airport, filled with excitement as they show off pictures of their new baby on a phone.

Once in Florida, they sit looking anxious in the hospital as they wait to be brought in to meet their little one.

Completing their family: Sarah and David already have two sons; Zakary is six, and Levi is three

Sharing with friends: Kristen said that she always wanted to photograph a family meeting their adoptive baby for the first time and was happy to get the chance

Then, they see their baby for the first time. Sarah, who has pink streaks in her hair, brings her hand to her mouth in excitement, as David stands behind her looking equally excited.

The precious moments when the new parents each get to hold their baby for the first time are priceless. Shot in black and white, Sarah looks like her heart is melting as she cradles her daughter. She then looks adoringly at David as he picks Tilly up.

Sarah lays down with her newborn, who nestles into her chest comfortably.

The couple, who have been married for ten years, also have two sons: Zakary, six, and Levi, three.

Family history: The couple's middle child, Levi, was born with the birth defect spina bifida

Time to adopt: Mothers who give birth to children with spina bifida or more likely to see the defect in future children

One more! The couple was not ready to give up on their dream of having three children, so they decided to adopt to complete their family

'I think our adoption story really kicked off with the pregnancy of our second kiddo, Levi,' David explained in a video, which the couple shared on their website.

Sarah agreed: 'Yeah, Levi was - he was a tough pregnancy. Both of my pregnancies were really, really tough on me, and deliveries were tough. But when I delivered Levi we immediately found out that he has spina bifida.'

The video cut to an image of Levi in the hospital with a lump on his lower back. Spina bifida is a birth defect wherein the baby's spinal cord hasn't developed properly. It can cause a lot of muscle control issues.

'We were getting [told] things, like, he may never walk, he might not be able to go to the bathroom on his own,' said Sarah. 'These are huge, shocking statements when you're hearing them for the first time and you're holding your brand newborn child.'

Daughter on the way: Sarah said that before welcoming baby Tilly, 'something in my heart wasn't done yet'

Big decision: David said that after months of talking and praying, they decided to start the adoption process

Things happen fast: They found out on Tuesday that there was a baby waiting for them and got on a plane Wednesday morning

She went on: 'We knew that our family wasn't complete yet. We knew that we wanted three, we always wanted three. And something in my heart wasn't done yet.

The couple tried unsuccessfully to have a third biological child, though doctors didn't recommend it, as mothers who give birth to one child with spina bifida or more likely to have another child with the problem.

Then, Sarah said: 'All of a sudden, a light bulb went off, and I felt this huge desire to adopt.'
