This photo perfectly captures a new mother’s surprise when she discovered her baby’s gender was male.

Koto Nakamura and her husband, Sina Niakansafy had an ultrasound early on in the pregnancy that determined they were expecting a girl. Not only did pink, girly gifts and and showers start happening – the parents had even chose a name – Hinata

Well, Hinata didn’t arrive as a girl, and doctors never guarantee gender for this exact reason. Surprises happen.

“We were all laughing and joking about it, saying, ‘Oh gosh, as if that would happen to us,’” said Nakamura’s birth photographer, Jessica Jackson. “We were trying to imagine how the mother must have felt — little did we know it was about to happen to Koto, too.”

The happy couple welcomed a beautiful, happy baby boy named “Taiga”, a name given to him for how he was born – it means “big and gracious” in Japanese.
