Birth photographer Krista Evans loves to capture those precious moments when a new family is being born. These are no ordinary first photos; they’re truly something much more profound than a simple hospital baby picture. She captures love and happiness in all their beauty — and nothing expresses this better than the images of new daddies in their very first moments with their newborn sons and daughters.
Good luck trying not to say ’Awww’ at least once! These pictures encompass beauty no matter which moment they’re capturing, whether it be new fathers holding their babies for the first time, looking at them, kissing them, or just smelling them. When you see these images, you’ll feel yourself surrounded by feelings of warmth and happiness.
