It's a picture that captures the miracle of life: a baby holding onto the doctors hand during a C-section.

Alicia Atkins was in the operating room, her husband standing by with a camera ready to catch the first image of his new daughter. But they never expected it to be an image like the one he captured.

Just 15 seconds away from officially being born, baby Nevaeh reached up and grabbed the doctor's finger.

Her dad snapped a photo at that exact moment and gave the picture as a gift to the doctor.

The doctor said he's never had such an amazing experience.
