Having a baby is an exciting and stressful time for every new parent.
During the course of pregnancy, there are a lot of things the mom-to-be and dad-to-be have to prepare for.
In addition to reading parenting books, taking birthing classes, and mentally preparing for a new family member, there are a lot of other things they have to think about as well.
With the importance of social media presence nowadays, many parents feel the pressure to have perfect photos documenting their pregnancy and birth.
From a pregnancy announcement and a beautiful baby shower to a sweet nursery reveal, and finally to birth and newborn pictures, parents have a lot to think about.
So, when Caroline Crnolic and her husband decided to take newborn pictures with their baby son, they wanted to use the moment to teach their son — and everyone who saw the photos — something important about their lives.

The photographer of the newborn pictures shared the parents' story on the Facebook page Love What Matters, where it gained a lot of attention.
Over 17,000 people reacted to the photos, and over 900 people shared their story.
The photo was captioned:
“It means a lot knowing that we’re both public servants and I wanted to do a photo that included both him as a police officer, and me as a firefighter,” mother Caroline Crnolic said.
1 month old Enzo Anthony Crnolic can be seen in both his dad’s policeman cap and his mom’s firefighter hat.
Both parents serve their community in Jacksonville, Florida.
Not only are the pictures adorable, they're also very meaningful.
One woman, Linda, wrote the following comment on the Facebook post, which captures the importance of these photos:
First of all, thank you both for serving and protecting!
Second of all what a gorgeous baby and parents.
Your love radiates from you both.
May God protect and keep mom and dad from harm.
Both of these parents display such strength on an everyday basis, but they still show a huge amount of tenderness with their newborn son.
Caroline and her husband are such an inspiration — not just for their baby, but for the rest of us as well.
This is such a great idea for a photo that other parents who serve our country commented that they wanted to do this with their babies as well!
