Becoming parents are a challenging yet rewarding process. Seeing children grow up healthily day by day, leave home, and have their own life. It’s the simplest yet biggest achievement of all parents in their life. Nothing can describe the feeling of dads and moms when seeing their babies for the very first time. There are few moments in life as moving as when moms give birth and meet their baby for the first time … but what about dads? It’s just as heart-melting. To truly comprehend the special link between father and kid, you must witness it. It must be one of the most magical moments in their life. To preserve it forever, why not capture that meet-and-greet?
As one photographer put it:” Moms tend to bond with their babies throughout the ᴘʀᴇɢɴᴀɴᴄʏ, but the love often doesn’t hit dads until they first met their newborn baby. As a new dad sees and finally gets to hold his baby in his arms for the first time, it sinks in — I am a father. This is my child. That’s what makes these images so powerful and emotional to see — consider this an ode to fatherhood from the moment it begins.” 8 emotional photos of dads meeting their baby for the first time captured by several amazing birth photographers who are able to witness these intimate moments of families growing.
