When our grandson was born, it was the first grandbaby on both sides of the family. All the family members were "on scene" moments after he was born, documenting his arrival. When I saw them lining up to take their shot, I couldn't help myself, and took this image of the rest of them! Of course, I haven't stopped snapping shots of my precious new grandson since.
