12 incredible photos that show a father's love
by Carolyn Robertson posted in Mom Stories
I don't remember what my husband said in the minutes after our daughter was born. I don't know if he announced, "You did it!" or "Good job!" or "She's beautiful!" Maybe he said nothing at all. Maybe the 8 long hours that led up to that moment had finally rendered him speechless.
I do remember what he looked like, though. I remember him holding her, pink and tiny and swaddled in a well-worn hospital blanket. His hands suddenly seemed huge and awkward. When he looked down at our baby in his arms, for just an instant, for the first time since we'd met, it almost felt like I wasn't even in the room.
These are the moments that photographer Krista Evans aims to capture. Based in Kelowna, British Columbia, Krista has photographed over 50 births. There is a lot about her job that she loves, but she says that witnessing that first meeting between father and child always touches her heart.
"As a birth photographer I have the unbelievable pleasure of capturing a baby's first moment earthside," Krista tells BabyCenter. "The moment they take their first breath. The moment they gaze deeply into their mama's eyes for the first time, and what may be one of my favorite moments to capture, the moment that this little babe's dad breaths a sigh of relief and readies himself for this next part of the journey."
Krista shared some of her favorite father-baby moments with us:
I love these.
The new dad ...
