The image of a baby in her first moments of life has gone viral by breaking with the tradition of the birth moment.

It is common for newborns to cry because crying helps their lungs begin to function. However, little Carmel replaced tears with a heartwarming smile the moment her parents took a photo for remembrance.

The photograph was uploaded by the mother—Brazilian model and entrepreneur—to her Instagram account, where it has received over 20,000 "likes."
