From Alicia Atkins, the Arizona mom and photographer who uploaded the photo to Facebook (and printed it on canvas for her OBGYN): "This was 10 weeks ago when I was having my c-section and Dr. Sawyer broke my water and my daughter reached up out of my stomach and grabbed the Dr.'s finger and my hubby caught this special moment."

The birth itself took place nearly three months ago, when Alicia Atkins of Arizona underwent a C-section with husband Randy by her side.

"The doctor called me over and said, ‘Hey, she's grabbing my finger,'" Randy recalled to 3TV News. "So I ran over there and just grabbed the shot and I was just in awe looking at it. It was such an amazing picture."

Owner of the Glendale-based A Classic Pin-Up photo studio, Alicia put the photo up on her Facebook page for family and friends to see.

"We didn't think we were going to get such positive feedback. We thought we would get more negative ‘that's disgusting,'" Alicia told KTVK. "[Instead] everybody just thought it was the best thing in the world."
